canli-research-mcp

canli-research-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Canli Capital's open research record. It gives an AI assistant six read-only tools over what canlicapital.com publishes: every research paper and killed candidate, the research topics, the count of hypotheses tried against the declared budget, the live paper-trading record with its sleeves, and the head of the chain that shows the published record was not rewritten.

Every result carries the limits its source states, beside two of its own: these are research documents, each with its own claim boundary, and everything here is paper execution, not funded performance or investment advice.

Tools

Tool	Reads	Returns
search_research	/research-index.json	Papers matching words in their titles and summaries, as columns and rows
list_topics	/research-index.json	Each topic, how many papers it holds, and what it covers
get_paper	/research/{slug}.md	A paper's text and headings; section returns one part, max_chars caps the length
trial_ledger	/api/v1/trials/summary.json	Hypotheses tried against the budget, killed and survived
live_record	/api/v1/record.json, /api/v1/sleeves.json	The live paper record and each sleeve's paper equity
chain_head	/api/v1/chain/head.json	The head of the tamper-evident chain, and where to verify it

Install

claude mcp add canli-research -- npx -y canli-research-mcp

Any MCP client that spawns a process works the same way: npx -y canli-research-mcp.

Cost and speed

The server reads only static files served from canlicapital.com's CDN, caches each one in memory for the session (ten minutes), and computes nothing, so a repeated question costs no request. The tool list a model re-reads on every turn is small and identical on every launch, which lets model providers serve it from their prompt cache; a test keeps it under 2,500 characters and byte-stable.

Configuration

Variable	Default	Meaning
CANLI_API_BASE	https://canlicapital.com	Where the record is read from.

Privacy

The server sends only GET requests for public files, with no key, cookie or query of yours; it writes nothing to disk.
