Helium MCP Server - News, Markets & AI

Get a page of news-source bias scores. Returns sources active within the last 36 days with >100 articles analyzed, sorted by avg_social_shares descending. The response also includes total, offset, limit, has_more, and one shared bias_score_methodology block. Each entry contains: - source_name, slug_name, page_url - articles_analyzed: total articles analyzed for this source - avg_social_shares: average social shares per article (proxy for reach/influence) - emotionality_score (0-10): average emotional intensity of the writing - prescriptiveness_score (0-10): how much the source tells readers what to think/do - bias_values: dict mapping classifier key → integer source weighted display score (-50 to +50 for bipolar, 0 to +50 for unipolar). Keys use the same canonical names as get_bias_from_url where a source aggregate is available, but article scores use -10 to +10 or 0 to 10. Compare direction directly; normalize before comparing magnitude. Political / ideological (bipolar: neg=left pole, pos=right pole): 'liberal conservative bias' neg=liberal, pos=conservative 'populist elitist bias' neg=populist, pos=elitist 'libertarian authoritarian bias' neg=libertarian, pos=authoritarian 'dovish hawkish bias' neg=dovish, pos=hawkish 'establishment bias' neg=anti-establishment, pos=pro-establishment Credibility / quality (bipolar): 'overall credibility' neg=low credibility, pos=high credibility 'integrity bias' neg=low integrity, pos=high integrity 'article intelligence' neg=low intelligence, pos=high intelligence 'delusion bias' neg=truth-seeking, pos=delusional 'objective subjective bias' neg=objective, pos=subjective 'objective sensational bias' neg=objective, pos=sensational 'descriptive prescriptive bias'…

Get bias analysis for a specific article by its URL. Use this when you have a direct link to an article and want to know its political leaning, credibility, emotionality, and other bias dimensions — without needing to know the source name first. On success (found=true), returns: - article_id, classification_id, requested_url, matched_url, title, source, date, link, category - teaser: article excerpt - summary: one-sentence AI summary - context: AI-generated context for the article - extracted_data: structured quantitative/qualitative facts extracted from the article - raw_data: legacy serialized form of extracted_data - bias_description: narrative description of this specific article's bias - bias_values: dict of per-dimension article scores using canonical plain-text keys, e.g. {"liberal conservative bias": 4, "overall credibility": 7, "emotional bias": -5, ...} Article scores use -10 to +10 for bipolar dimensions and 0 to 10 for unipolar dimensions. Positive values lean toward the second pole of each dimension (conservative, authoritarian, etc.). - bias_analysis_status: 'evidence_ready', 'evidence_unverified', 'evidence_partial', 'scored_legacy', or 'pending' - bias_dimensions when include_evidence=true: each dimension's score, scale, evidence status, claim, verbatim evidence, counterevidence, confidence, and rationale. Quotes include verification method and exact character offsets when raw-text matching succeeds. Dimension evidence_status is one of: verified, provided_unchecked, quote_mismatch, metadata_incomplete, metadata_only, or missing. - bias_analysis: contract/schema/model/prompt provenance, generation and review status, input scope/hash/size, analysis target, quote-verification method, explicit missingness and evidence coverage, and case-specific limitations - total_shares: total social shares - wayback_link: Wayback Machine archi…

Get the full historical options chain for a ticker on a specific date. Returns the complete options chain including all expirations and contracts, with bid, ask, mid prices, greeks, and Helium's proprietary model values (helium_theo, helium_pitm, should_i_buy, should_i_sell, terminal_buy_pl, terminal_sell_pl, etc.) baked into each contract. Returns: - symbol, date, data_source ('recent' or 's3') - num_expirations: number of distinct expiration dates - total_contracts: total number of option contracts - option_chain: dict keyed by expiration index, each value is a list of option contracts Each contract includes fields like: putCall, symbol, description, bid, ask, mark, mid_price, strikePrice, expirationDate, daysToExpiration, delta, gamma, theta, vega, impliedVolatility, openInterest, volume, helium_theo, helium_pitm, should_i_buy, should_i_sell, terminal_buy_pl, terminal_sell_pl, and more.

Get Helium's proprietary ML model-predicted price for a specific option contract. Helium trains per-symbol regression models on historical options data. This tool looks up the most recent available options chain for the symbol (today or up to 5 days back), finds the exact contract matching strike/expiration/type, and runs it through that model to produce a predicted fair-value price. Returns: - symbol: the ticker - strike: the strike price used - expiration: the expiration date used - option_type: 'call' or 'put' - predicted_price: Helium's model-predicted option price in dollars - prob_itm: probability of expiring in the money (0.0–1.0), or null if model unavailable - options_data_date: the date of the options chain snapshot the model was run on (so you know how fresh the underlying market data is) Throws an error if no options chain data is available for the symbol within the past 5 days, or if the exact contract (strike/expiration/type combination) does not exist in that chain. Args: symbol: Ticker symbol, e.g. 'AAPL', 'SPY'. strike: Strike price as a number, e.g. 150.0. expiration: Expiration date as 'YYYY-MM-DD', e.g. '2026-06-20'. option_type: Must be 'call' or 'put'.
