What is the Octagon MCP server?

Octagon becomes available to MCP clients through the octagon mcp server. Deliver real-time investment research with extensive private and public market data.

What Octagon does

The Octagon MCP server provides specialized AI-powered financial research and analysis by integrating with the Octagon Market Intelligence API, enabling users to analyze and extract insights from public filings, earnings calls, financial metrics, stocks & crypto data, stock news, and prediction markets news & research within Claude Desktop and other popular MCP clients.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 5 tools directly:

  • Multi — source synthesis for investment research questions
  • octagon-prediction-markets — agent for updated research reports on each prediction markets
  • octagon-docs — search, octagon-docs-read, octagon-docs-list, and octagon-docs-refresh
  • Windows — 1. Download the Node.js installer: - Go to https://nodejs.org/ and download the LTS version for Windows. 2. Run the installer
  • prediction_markets_history — Fetches historical data for a prediction market event ticker with optional pagination and time filters

Installing the octagon mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as octagon-mcp, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: OCTAGON_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Requirements

Before installing or running Octagon MCP, you need to have npx (which comes with Node.js and npm) installed on your system.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Octagon sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Multi, octagon-prediction-markets, octagon-docs among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This is a hosted server — you point your client at an endpoint rather than running a local process, so there is nothing to keep updated on your machine.
  • It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
  • Written in Go.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the octagon mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Octagon to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 5 tools (Multi, octagon-prediction-markets, octagon-docs, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Octagon directly.
