Ready-to-use Claude Code skills for the AlphAI MCP server — relevance-scored, ticker-linked financial news, SEC Form 4 insider trades, and filing-verified earnings reads, straight inside your agent.
Each skill is a small SKILL.md that teaches Claude when and how to call the
alphai MCP tools for a concrete finance workflow — so you can just ask
"brief me on NVDA" or "what's moving right now?" and get a structured answer
instead of a raw tool dump.
| Skill | Use it when you want… | Tools it leans on |
|---|---|---|
| stock-brief | A situational brief on one ticker — top news, earnings read, insider activity, what to watch | alphai_ticker_news, alphai_earnings, alphai_trending, alphai_article |
| market-pulse | "What's moving right now / today?" across the market | alphai_actionable_now, alphai_stories, alphai_trending, alphai_news_search |
| insider-radar | A scan of insider buying/selling (SEC Form 4) for a ticker, a watchlist or the market | alphai_insider_news, alphai_insider_clusters |
| peer-readacross | A two-ticker comparison and cross-read (e.g. NVDA vs AMD) | alphai_pair_analysis |
| manage-alerts | To list / add / remove ticker news-alert subscriptions | alphai_alerts_* (Basic/Pro) |
One line — Claude Code prompts for OAuth on connect and opens your browser to
authorize (OAuth 2.1, no API key to paste; re-authenticate any time with /mcp):
claude mcp add --transport http alphai https://mcp.alphai.io/mcpHeadless box (no browser)? Use an alphai API key from alphai.io/account as a static Bearer header instead:
claude mcp add --transport http alphai https://mcp.alphai.io/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_YOUR_KEY"The Free tier is 100 tool calls/day (20/min burst) with no card. The MCP is read-only news data; nothing here places trades or touches your account beyond your own alert subscriptions. See alphai.io/mcp for other clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini, …).
Skills are just folders. Copy the ones you want into a skills directory Claude Code reads:
# Personal — available in every project on this machine
cp -r skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
# …or per-project — checked in for your team
mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills/* .claude/skills/Claude Code discovers them automatically. Run /help or just start a chat — when
your request matches a skill's description, Claude invokes it.
You don't call skills explicitly; you describe what you want and Claude picks the right one:
- "Give me a brief on TSLA." → stock-brief
- "What's the big story in the market this morning?" → market-pulse
- "Any notable insider buying in PLTR lately?" → insider-radar
- "Compare NVDA and AMD — what's the read-across?" → peer-readacross
- "Subscribe me to high-relevance AAPL earnings alerts." → manage-alerts
All 19 tools the skills can reach (full schemas at alphai.io/mcp):
