Install

How do I install the Tako MCP server?

Tako is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.tako.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 4 exposed · ~1,527 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
tako_available_data ~399

Find what data Tako holds on an entity or a metric, and the canonical name it holds it under. Best for: coverage questions themselves, or a metric's canonical name before a priced search. Put a company, person, or place in `q` to list the metrics tracked on it; put a metric in `q` to list the entities it covers. Add `metric` when you know the measure — you get the resolved pair and a ready-to-run `next_call`. Search on the canonical names it returns, not your own phrasing — `tako_search` matches the graph's names, not yours. A name here means the graph tracks it, not that a card exists. If the follow-up search comes back empty, say Tako has no card for it rather than rephrasing the query. Hand a node id to `tako_graph_related` to see what else connects to it.

NameTypeReqDescription
labelstringNER label to prefer for `q` — a boost, not a filter. Set it when you can categorize the term: company → ORG, place → GPE, person → PERSON. It never applies to `metric`.
limitintegerHow many candidates to resolve for each of `q` and `metric`. Raising it widens what the tool considers, not just what it shows: a deeper metric can become the one `next_call` names.
metricstringThe measure, when you already know it — "gross margin", "capex". Supplying it resolves the entity+metric pair directly; omit it to browse everything the entity has.
qstringyesThe entity or metric to look up by name — "Carnival", "United States", "Nvidia". Put the measure in `metric`, not here.
typesstringNarrow resolution to one kind, an entity or a metric. Omit to resolve both.
NameTypeReqDescription
candidatesarrayyesThe other nodes `q` resolved to, best first.
entityLookup path: the resolved entity.
entity_candidatesarrayRunners-up.
foundbooleanyesWhether Tako holds matching data; `verified` says on what evidence.
guidancestringThe verdict, and the one next action.
matchesarrayyesThe nodes whose coverage was drilled, best first.
metricLookup path: the resolved metric.
metric_candidatesarrayRunners-up.
next_callyesA follow-up search in canonical names. Null when no target is unambiguous.
verifiedstringWhat was checked. `pair`: the metric is on the entity's own list. `coverage`: a list was drilled. `unlinked`: the list was checked, the metric is absent. `resolution`: names resolved only.

No examples provided.

tako_contents ~327

Fetch the full content behind a url: a web page's text, or an exportable Tako card's data rows. Batch up to 10 urls in one call — each one is billed and fails on its own. Fetch only cards that `tako_search` marked `exportable: true`. Rows bill per 1,000 delivered, so set `max_rows` when the recent rows are enough. If a page is long, such as a filing or an annual report, set `query` to get back only the passages that match. Best for: reading one source in full — a page you need to quote, or the rows behind a card you need to compute over.

NameTypeReqDescription
max_charsintegerWeb pages only: character cap on the extracted text. Inline fetches default to 100,000 per url, less across a batch. Raise it for a long document; `truncated` reports a cut.
max_rowsintegerTako cards only: how many rows to return. Omit it for the whole card, up to 2,000 rows. Every row delivered is billed, so lower it when the recent rows are enough.
querystringWeb pages only: return the passages around matches of this phrase instead of the whole page. The full page is always scanned, so no match means the phrase isn't there.
urlsarrayyesThe urls to fetch: a Tako card url or a web result url. One call for 8 urls costs the same as 8 separate calls and saves 7 round trips.
NameTypeReqDescription
resultsarrayyesOne per requested url, in order.
usageobjectyesWhat this request cost.

No examples provided.

tako_graph_related ~397

Explore what a graph node connects to — its metrics, the entities a metric covers, competitors, industry, index membership, and sources. Two modes. Pass `node_id` alone for the map: every relation group with its key, label, total, and its first 3 names. Pass `relation` to page one group, where each item comes back with the id that explores it. Read a key off the map rather than guessing — an unknown key returns an empty group, not an error. Best for: expanding a node you already resolved. Resolve a name to a node id with `tako_available_data` first. A metric listed here means the graph tracks it, not that a card exists — `tako_search` is the final check.

NameTypeReqDescription
cursorstringPage handle from a previous drilled relation. Omit it for the first page.
infer_labelbooleanDetect labels from `q`. Omit it and the server infers them whenever `q` is set.
labelstringNER label to prefer among the related nodes — a boost, not a filter.
limitintegerPage size for a drilled relation. Omit it and the server serves 50. Ignored on the map, where every group returns its first 3 names whatever you pass.
node_idstringyesPublic id of the node to explore, as returned by `tako_available_data` or on a `tako_search` card.
qstringCase-insensitive substring filter on names and aliases, one string per call: "revenue" matches `Total Revenue` and misses `Sales`. Call once per name variant.
relationstringRelation key to page, taken from the map: metrics, entities, siblings, part_of, members, or a named edge like rel:competes_with. Omit for the map.
NameTypeReqDescription
nodeobjectyes
relationThe one group you drilled.
relationsarrayEvery group, previewed. The map.

No examples provided.

tako_search ~404

Search Tako's data graph and the live web in one call: many results at once, as structured cards plus web results, with the top card rendered inline as a chart. It finds data; `tako_contents` fetches it. Each card carries a headline value, node ids, and a url — pass the url to `tako_contents` for rows (`exportable: true` cards) or a web result's full page text. When `exportable` is false the rows are locked — read the headline value from the card's `description`. Best for: breadth — fan out several narrow queries in parallel. Each query resolves one metric — for one entity, or a comparison set ("Apple revenue", "Nvidia vs AMD gross margin"); several metrics or topics in one query retrieve poorly. To learn what Tako covers, or a metric's canonical name, run `tako_available_data` first, then search on the canonical name it returns.

NameTypeReqDescription
country_codestringISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code for localized results. Omit it and the server uses US. Set it to localize for the user.
localestringBCP-47 locale tag for language and formatting. Omit it and the server uses en-US. Set it to localize for the user.
querystringyesNatural-language search query (e.g. "US GDP growth", "Intel vs Nvidia revenue"). Double-quote a multi-word name to keep it one entity ("tesla motors" club revenue); an unpaired quote disables quoting…
sourcesarrayWhich corpora to search; default is both. Narrow to ["data"] once `tako_available_data` confirms coverage; narrow to ["web"] only for news or page text — website traffic is in the data graph.
NameTypeReqDescription
cardsarrayyesThe data cards. Fetch an exportable card's rows with tako_contents on its url.
guidancestringZero-card responses only: what this response is evidence about, and the one next action.
metric_definitionsobjectWhat each metric means (unit, basis, caveats), keyed by metric name, deduped across cards.
source_notesobjectWhat each source is and how it builds its data, keyed by source name.
usageyesCost-plus usage for this request (null when not metered).
web_resultsarrayyesWeb results.
