gildea 0.4.0

Python client and MCP server for the Gildea AI market intelligence API

Gildea

Python client and MCP server for the Gildea AI market intelligence API.

Gildea tracks 500+ expert sources on AI, decomposes every signal into verified reasoning chains (thesis, arguments, claims, evidence), and serves it through a REST API. This package gives you a Python client and an MCP server so AI assistants can use the data directly.

Search uses modern hybrid retrieval — dense and learned sparse embeddings fused via RRF, with cross-encoder reranking — for high precision on verified, citable text units. See How search works for details.

Install

# Python client only
pip install gildea

# With MCP server
pip install gildea[mcp]

Quick Start

from gildea_sdk import Gildea

client = Gildea(api_key="gld_your_key_here")

# Search verified text units
results = client.search(query="data center infrastructure spending")
for hit in results["data"]:
    print(hit["unit"]["text"])
    print(f"  Source: {hit['citation']['signal_title']} ({hit['citation']['registrable_domain']})")

# Get full signal decomposition with evidence
signal = client.signals.get("signal_id", include="evidence")

# Entity intelligence with trend analytics
entity = client.entities.get("NVIDIA")
print(f"{entity['display_name']}: {entity['direction']}, {entity['scale']} scale, {entity['notability']} notability")

# Cross-source consensus mapping
similar = client.search(similar_to="unit_id")

# Embed arbitrary text into Gildea's vector space
vector = client.embed("Data center capex is accelerating.")["embedding"]

Local similarity search

Pair include="embeddings" on signal detail with client.embed() to compute cosine similarity between user content and verified Gildea units, fully client-side:

import numpy as np
from gildea_sdk import Gildea

client = Gildea(api_key="gld_your_key_here")

# 1. Embed user content
user_vec = np.array(client.embed("I think infrastructure spending will slow in H2.")["embedding"])

# 2. Fetch signal with per-unit embeddings
signal = client.signals.get("0001f3a7b9c8d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6e7", include="embeddings")

# 3. Find semantically related text units
def iter_units(decomp):
    for arg in decomp.get("arguments", []):
        yield from arg.get("sentences", [])
    yield from decomp.get("claims", [])
    if "thesis" in decomp:
        yield from decomp["thesis"].get("sentences", [])
    if "summary" in decomp:
        yield from decomp["summary"].get("sentences", [])

for u in iter_units(signal["decomposition"]):
    if "embedding" in u:
        sim = float(np.dot(user_vec, np.array(u["embedding"])))  # both unit-normalized
        if sim > 0.7:
            print(f"[{sim:.3f}] {u['unit']['text']}")

Embeddings are 1024-dim Cohere embed-english-v3.0 vectors. Both endpoints return vectors in the same space. See docs.gildea.ai/concepts/embeddings for details.

MCP Server

Use Gildea as a tool in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.

# Run directly
gildea-mcp

# Or via uvx (no install needed)
uvx --from gildea[mcp] gildea-mcp

Set your API key:

export GILDEA_API_KEY=gld_your_key_here
