alternative-data
v1.0.0by ginlix-ai · author: LangAlpha
Signals from outside the market tape. X post search back to 2006 with profiles and reply threads, and web scraping with anti-bot bypass that returns markdown rather than raw HTML.
What alternative-data does, in the publisher's words
Two servers that look outside the market tape: X post search and general web scraping.
The bearer token reaches the tool as a per-call argument read from the workspace vault (from vault import get; get("X_BEARER_TOKEN")), never from the MCP subprocess environment. In a multi-tenant deployment every workspace gets its own token that way; putting it in env would hand one host-wide token to all of them.
A single-tenant self-host that wants the convenience can add "X_BEARER_TOKEN": "${X_BEARER_TOKEN}" to the server's env in mcp.json. The tool falls back to the process environment when the argument is omitted.

What the agent hands you. Reports, decks, workbooks and interactive dashboards, plus the chart annotation and design conventions that keep them looking like one house produced them.
Prices, fundamentals, macro and options from LangAlpha's own data layer. OHLCV and short interest, multi-year statements and ownership, treasury rates and the earnings calendar, and the full options chain.
How the agent reaches a conclusion. Valuation models and comps, coverage initiation and sector work, earnings preparation and post-mortems, and the trackers that keep a thesis honest as the facts move.
How the agent runs itself. Scheduled automations and saved workflows, the assistant that coordinates them, and the user memory that carries context between sessions.

Research public conversations and manage an X account through X's official hosted MCP server.
