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.
