Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Idea research is the canonical shelf because macro indicators anchor TAM stories, pricing tension, and timing before you wire charts into a codebase. Research is where you pull official Federal Reserve Economic Data series to replace hand-wavy trends in memos and pitch materials.
How it compares
Macro time-series MCP over FRED, not a spreadsheet skill or generic LLM market guess.
