Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only access to The Gold Barometer: a daily 0-100 gold buying-conditions score, its history, and zone outcomes since 1971.

What you can do
Read today's Gold Barometer score, its zone and the state of each measured part, updated daily after the US market closes. Retrieve past readings, oldest first, optionally including reconstructed month-end context rows back to 2019. Look up what followed months that read like a given zone since 1971, with median gold moves after 1 and 5 years, before and after inflation, and the month count behind each figure.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs quick, sourced context on gold buying conditions, historical readings, or how past months in a given zone played out. Suited to research and discussion rather than trading decisions, since the data measures conditions and is not advice or a price forecast.
Requirements
Either the hosted HTTPS endpoint (streamable HTTP, stateless, no key) or the local npm package thegoldbarometer-mcp, which needs Node 18 or newer and runs via npx. No signup or API key; the server only reads public endpoints and needs network access.
Before you install
The data measures conditions and is not investment advice or a price prediction; treat zone records as historical context, not forecasts. The current-reading result includes an email sign-up address. The hosted endpoint is rate limited per IP. Data is CC BY 4.0 and requires credit to The Gold Barometer.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Thegoldbarometer 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.thegoldbarometer%2Fthegoldbarometer/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.

The Gold Barometer MCP server

[The Gold Barometer MCP server]

Gives AI assistants direct access to The Gold Barometer: a daily 0-100 score of gold buying conditions, compared with every trading day since 1971.

It measures conditions. It is not advice, and it does not predict the price.

Tools

ToolWhat it answers
get_current_readingToday's score, its zone, and the state of each measured part
get_reading_historyPast readings, with or without the reconstructed month-end rows
get_zone_recordWhat followed months in a given zone across the record since 1971

Install

Runs on Node 18 or newer. Add to your MCP client configuration:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "thegoldbarometer": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "thegoldbarometer-mcp"]    }  }}

No key, no signup. The server only reads public endpoints.

Hosted endpoint (no install)

The same three tools are served over HTTPS for clients that take a URL (Smithery, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, custom agents):

https://mcp.thegoldbarometer.com/mcp

Streamable HTTP, stateless, no key. Rate limited per IP at the edge. GET /health answers {"ok":true,"tools":3}.

get_current_reading

Today's Gold Barometer reading: the 0-100 gold buying-conditions score, its zone, and the state of each measured part. Updated daily after the US market closes. A free email goes out each time the reading moves to a new zone; the result carries the sign-up address. It measures conditions. It is not advice, and it does not predict the price.

Takes no parameters.

get_reading_history

Past Gold Barometer readings, oldest first. Daily published readings by default; set include_reconstructed to true to add month-end context rows rebuilt back to 2019. The monthly record back to 1971 lives in the public archive.

Parameterslimitinclude_reconstructed

get_zone_record

What followed months that read like a given zone, across the reconstructed record since 1971: median gold move 1 and 5 years later, before and after inflation, with the month count behind each figure. It measures conditions. It is not advice, and it does not predict the price.

100% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
