Overview

AI-generated overview

Searches Real Alpha's curated moments from long interviews with AI founders and researchers, returning quotes, speakers, dates and citable links.

What you can do
  • Search moments from AI interviews by topic, speaker, company, show or date
  • Read one moment in full: quote, summary, takeaways, topics and the episode's other best minutes
  • List everything one person said, newest first, or only on a topic
  • See how builders answer a big AI question, grouped by the way they answer
  • Pull about a minute of an episode transcript around a given time
  • List the newest moments across all shows or a single show
When to use it
Useful when you need sourced quotes or positions from AI founders, CEOs and researchers for writing, research or fact-checking, and want the speaker, show, date and a link to cite. It is read-only and free, so it is low-risk to add for occasional reference lookups.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no account, key or environment variable is needed. Clients that only run local servers can reach it through the mcp-remote bridge. Network access to the endpoint is required.
Before you install
Read-only and free, with no credentials requested. Answers are short excerpts and links, so quotes should be checked against the linked page before publishing. The service keeps nothing about who asks and limits each address to 120 requests a minute.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Real Alpha in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/app.realalpha%2Fmoments/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Real Alpha MCP server

Ask your AI what AI leaders actually said. Real Alpha cuts the minutes worth hearing from long interviews with the people building AI: founders, CEOs and researchers on shows like Lenny's Podcast, Dwarkesh Podcast, No Priors and BG2. This MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any other assistant search those moments, and gives every answer the speaker, the show, the date, their own words and the page to cite.

How it works

  • A Cloudflare Worker with the Agents SDK's stateless createMcpHandler: a fresh server for each request, no sessions, for clients on the 2025 and 2026-07-28 protocols.
  • It reads Real Alpha's D1 database: the moments (segments), their episodes and shows, who's in each episode, the people and company directories, and the transcripts of the episodes cut. schema.sql has those tables.
  • Answers are short excerpts and links: a quote, a summary, or a minute of transcript at most. The whole conversation plays on each moment's page, in the show's own YouTube player.
  • It only reads, keeps nothing about who asks, and gives each address 120 requests a minute.

This repository

This is the code that runs at https://realalpha.app/mcp, copied from Real Alpha's site, which serves it beside its pages, each time it changes. src/mcp.ts is the server and its tools, src/moments.ts what it reads, src/lib/ the site's helpers they use, and src/index.ts runs it as a Worker of its own.

The data is Real Alpha's and isn't here: the moments, transcripts and directories come from Real Alpha's pipeline. To run your own copy on your own data, make a D1 database, apply schema.sql, fill it, put its id in wrangler.jsonc and run npm install && npm run deploy. The links it gives point at realalpha.app's pages: change src/lib/site.ts to point them at yours.

Found a wrong answer, or want a tool it doesn't have? Open an issue, or write to [email protected].

License

The code is MIT. What the server returns (quotes, transcripts, summaries) belongs to the shows and the people speaking, and using the hosted server means agreeing to Real Alpha's terms.
