Step 1 — Get an API Key

Sign up at aletaindex-narrative.com

Free trial: 10 tickers, 90 days history, 500 credits.

Prerequisites — Install uv

The MCP server runs via uvx, which is part of uv — a fast Python package manager. If you don't have it yet:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Then restart your terminal. uvx will be available automatically. No other setup needed.

Step 2 — Add to Your Agent Config

Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aletaindex": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["narrative-intelligence-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NARRATIVE_API_KEY": "nk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Code. Done.

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aletaindex": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["narrative-intelligence-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NARRATIVE_API_KEY": "nk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3 — Start Asking

No setup prompts needed. Just ask naturally:

What narratives are driving NVDA this week?

Has TSLA sentiment shifted in the last 3 days?

Analyze narrative risk across my portfolio: NVDA 30%, AAPL 25%, TSLA 20%, MSFT 25%

The agent automatically calls the right tools and formats the response.
