Market research and business intelligence with TAM/SAM calculations and integration across 8 economic data sources: Alpha Vantage, BLS, Census
Market research and business intelligence with TAM/SAM calculations and integration across 8 economic data sources: Alpha Vantage, BLS, Census Bureau, FRED, IMF, Nasdaq Data Link, OECD, and World Bank. That is what the tam mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
A Model Context Protocol server providing market research and business analysis capabilities through 28 tools, 15 business prompts, and integration with 8 economic data sources.
This MCP server provides comprehensive market research capabilities including:
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
serverUrl — http://localhost:3000sessionId — (automatically set after initialization)Source — ToolsBLS — bls_getSeriesDataCensus — census_fetchIndustryData, census_fetchMarketSizeFRED — fred_getSeriesObservationsIMF — imf_getDataset, imf_getLatestObservationNasdaq — nasdaq_getDatasetTimeSeries, nasdaq_getLatestDatasetValueOECD — oecd_getDataset, oecd_getLatestObservationindustry_search — Basic industry data search from sourcestam_calculator — Basic Total Addressable Market calculationsmarket_size_calculator — Market size estimation and calculationsConfiguration is passed through the environment: ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY, FRED_API_KEY, CENSUS_API_KEY, NASDAQ_DATA_LINK_API_KEY, BLS_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
The server ships on npm as @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. TAM's toolset — serverUrl, sessionId, Source and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by gvaibhav; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against TAM's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
