How It Works

1

Connect

Add the MCP server to your AI client in one line. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible tool.

2

Ask

Ask questions naturally — "What's the most shorted stock in the materials sector?" or "Is BHP short interest rising?"

3

Analyse

The AI fetches live data from ASIC and ASX filings, interprets it, and gives you a clear answer with context.
