Heron Intelligence — MCP server for AI assistants

Project description

Heron Intelligence MCP

Connect Heron Intelligence — curated earnings call transcripts, management interviews, and a guided custom-research intake flow — directly to Claude or any Model Context Protocol-compatible AI client.

Highlights

  • Remote HTTPS transport — one URL, zero install for browser clients.
  • OAuth 2.1 — Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) with PKCE S256.
  • Subsidiary & legacy-name resolution — search by ticker, name, or description; the server auto-maps spinoffs and rebrands to their current parent so coverage is never missed.
  • MCP tool annotations — read-only tools auto-approve in supporting clients; write tools always require explicit user confirmation.

Server

https://mcp.heron-intelligence.com/mcp

Skill (recommended — install first)

The repo ships a Claude Code Skill in skills/heron-intelligence/ that primes the model to use these tools automatically — without the user having to type "use Heron MCP to…". It also encodes formatting rules and the canonical Blue Heron (human) vs Heron AI (automated) provenance handling.

Install once per machine (org-wide):

cp -r skills/heron-intelligence ~/.claude/skills/

Restart Claude Code; verify with /list-skills. See skills/heron-intelligence/INSTALL.md for project-level install and team distribution.

Quickstart

Claude.ai (recommended)

  1. Open Claude.ai → Settings → Connectors.
  2. Click Add custom connector.
  3. Enter the server URL above.
  4. Click Authorize and sign in to Heron Intelligence.
  5. Approve the requested scopes (mcp:read, mcp:write).
  6. Start a new chat and ask Claude to use Heron Intelligence.

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "heron": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "HeronIntelligence-mcp", "heronintelligence-mcp"],
      "env": { "HERON_API_KEY": "hk-xxxx" }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Code

claude mcp add heron \
  --command uvx \
  --args "--from HeronIntelligence-mcp heronintelligence-mcp" \
  -e HERON_API_KEY=hk-xxxx \
  -s user

Cursor / Windsurf

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "heron": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "HeronIntelligence-mcp", "heronintelligence-mcp"],
      "env": { "HERON_API_KEY": "hk-xxxx" }
    }
  }
}

Authentication

The remote MCP server uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (S256) and Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591). Connecting from Claude.ai:

  1. Claude registers itself silently as an OAuth client.
  2. You are redirected to Heron Intelligence to sign in.
  3. After consent, Claude receives a short-lived access token plus a refresh token. The refresh token is single-use and rotates on every refresh.
  4. Scopes mcp:read and mcp:write map to read-only and write tools.

For local stdio mode (Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor / Windsurf), authenticate with a static API key via HERON_API_KEY. Request a key from your Heron Intelligence account dashboard.

Available tools

Read-only

Tool Purpose
whoami Returns the email of the user authenticated on the current MCP session.
search_company Resolves a ticker, name, or description to a Heron Intelligence company id; auto-resolves subsidiaries and legacy names.
get_company_overview Returns transcript counts, date range, and breakdown of available coverage for a company.
get_recent_transcripts Lists transcript metadata with pagination and filters (due-diligence type, sentiment, call quality, free text).
get_transcript_content Returns the verbatim Q&A content of a specific transcript.
get_project_status Returns the current step, completed fields, and last artifact for a research project.

Write (custom research projects)

Tool Purpose
start_research_project Creates a new research project record.
define_research_brief Step 1 — refines the Research Brief artifact one user turn at a time.
prepopulate_research_configuration Step 1 → Step 2 helper that pre-fills configuration fields from the brief.
configure_research_project Step 2 — fills the project's canonical configuration fields.
generate_research_questions Step 3 — generates and curates the project's topics and questions.
submit_research_project Step 4 — submits the project to a Heron Intelligence representative.

Example prompts

"How much research coverage does Heron Intelligence have on Amazon?"

"Find Heron Intelligence's research coverage for Facebook and show me what's available under their current corporate entity."

"Show me only the management due diligence transcripts available for Amazon from the last two quarters."
