Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP endpoint that gives an assistant real-time news with bias scoring, live market data, and AI-powered options pricing.

What you can do
Helium MCP Server is a hosted, streamable HTTP endpoint that an assistant connects to directly. According to its registry description, it provides real-time news with bias scoring, live market data, and AI-powered options pricing. No individual tools are listed in the manifest, so the exact tool names and parameters are not documented here.
When to use it
Worth considering when an assistant needs current news with a bias angle, live market quotes, or options pricing estimates inside a conversation. It is a hosted service, so it suits users who want market and news context without running a local process.
Requirements
A remote MCP client that supports streamable HTTP, pointed at the provider's endpoint. The manifest declares no authentication, no environment variables, and no headers, and no packages are required. Network access to the provider's host is needed.
Before you install
The manifest declares no authentication, so requests may be unauthenticated and anything sent to the endpoint leaves the user's machine. The description mentions options pricing, which is financial information and not investment advice; verify figures before acting on them. No tool list is published, so review what the server actually exposes before relying on it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Helium MCP Server - News, Markets & AI 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/io.github.connerlambden%2Fhelium-mcp/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.

Each article includes: - article_id, classification_id, title, source, date, link, category, rank, total_shares, summary - bias_values: dict of per-dimension bias scores using plain-text keys (e.g. 'liberal conservative bias'), same schema as get_bias_from_url and get_all_source_biases (when available) - bias_analysis_status: 'evidence_ready', 'evidence_unverified', 'evidence_partial', 'evidence_failed' (all scored dimensions' quotes failed verification, so the scores do not match the article text), 'scored_legacy', or 'pending' - evidence_ratio: fraction of scored bias dimensions whose supporting quote is verified (0.0-1.0).

get_option_price

Get option price

Get Helium's proprietary ML model-predicted price for a specific option contract. Helium trains per-symbol regression models on historical options data. This tool looks up the most recent available options chain for the symbol (today or up to 5 days back), finds the exact contract matching strike/expiration/type, and runs it through that model to produce a predicted fair-value price. Returns: - symbol: the ticker - strike: the strike price used - expiration: the expiration date used - option_type: 'call' or 'put' - predicted_price: Helium's model-predicted option price in dollars - prob_itm: probability of expiring in the money (0.0–1.0), or null if model unavailable - options_data_date: the date of the options chain snapshot the model was run on (so you know how fresh the underlying market data is) Throws an error if no options chain data is available for the symbol within the past 5 days, or if the exact contract (strike/expiration/type combination) does not exist in that chain. Args: symbol: Ticker symbol, e.g. 'AAPL', 'SPY'. strike: Strike price as a number, e.g. 150.0. expiration: Expiration date as 'YYYY-MM-DD', e.g. '2026-06-20'. option_type: Must be 'call' or 'put'.

get_bias_from_url

Get bias from URL

Get bias analysis for a specific article by its URL. Use this when you have a direct link to an article and want to know its political leaning, credibility, emotionality, and other bias dimensions — without needing to know the source name first.

Positive values lean toward the second pole of each dimension (conservative, authoritarian, etc.). - bias_analysis_status: 'evidence_ready', 'evidence_unverified', 'evidence_partial', 'evidence_failed' (all scored dimensions' quotes failed verification, so the scores do not match the article text), 'scored_legacy', or 'pending' - bias_dimensions when include_evidence=true: each dimension's score, scale, evidence status, claim, verbatim evidence, counterevidence, confidence, and rationale. Quotes include verification method and exact character offsets when raw-text matching succeeds.
