Fodda Deep Research

Quick Start

Claude (Web & Desktop — Scoped Research Connector)

Fodda provides a dedicated scoped endpoint optimized for research and expert advisory in Claude: https://mcp.fodda.ai/claude. It exposes a curated 30-tool suite (knowledge graphs, company earnings transcripts, macroeconomic data, synthetic analyst consultation, and commissioned deliverables) with all internal administrative and expert-onboarding mutators suppressed.

1. In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
2. Enter Name: Fodda and URL: https://mcp.fodda.ai/claude
3. Authorize via Clerk OAuth (supports Google/LinkedIn SSO and email code) — your account is auto-provisioned with 100 free trial credits
4. Start querying market intelligence, earnings divergence, and expert graphs

Alternatively, you can connect using your personal tokenized URL from app.fodda.ai → Connections (format: https://mcp.fodda.ai/c/<your-token>).

Note: Legacy URL query-string parameter authentication is deprecated and returns HTTP 401 with instructions. Connect via OAuth at https://mcp.fodda.ai/claude or use your tokenized connection URL.

Claude Code (CLI)

# Connect to the curated Claude research connector via OAuth:claude mcp add --transport http fodda https://mcp.fodda.ai/claude
# Or with an API key:claude mcp add --transport http fodda https://mcp.fodda.ai/claude \  --header "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."

Available Tools

The Fodda MCP server exposes a rich suite of 30 tools to search, analyze, brainstorm, and visualize trends, expert-curated knowledge graphs, and corporate documents.

Discovery & Search

Traversal & Graph Operations

Intelligence Domains

Earnings & Corporate Insights

Brand & Ideation

Deep Research & Execution Agents

Synthetic Analyst & Visualization

Note on Dynamic Partner Skills: When partner skills (such as Paralogy or Igloo) are enabled for a user's account, additional specialized tools (e.g. paralogy_analyze_trends, ideation tools) are dynamically registered on the MCP server and made available automatically.

Note on System Utilities: The server also registers several helper and account management utilities (e.g., get_my_account, toggle_graph_preference, update_user_profile, manage_scheduled_reports, send_feedback) to allow the AI assistant to query subscription status, manage scheduled briefings, or save personalization settings directly.

Discovery Endpoints

Authentication

Preferred — HTTP header (used by the directory connection and all header-capable clients). Pass your Fodda API key as a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...

The server also accepts the key via an X-API-Key: sk_live_... header.

In MCP request _meta:

{ "_meta": { "authorization": "Bearer sk_live_..." } }

Connection URLs. Web connector clients use personal tokenized connection URLs (https://mcp.fodda.ai/c/<token>) generated in your Connections dashboard. Raw keys in URLs are not accepted.

Privacy Policy

Summary of how the Fodda MCP server handles data (the hosted policy is authoritative):

• What we collect. Account information (name, email, organization) to manage your account; usage data — API queries (query text, graph accessed, timestamps) logged for billing, service improvement, and abuse prevention; and standard technical data (IP, browser type, referral URLs). We do not store the full content of AI-generated responses. Your API key authenticates requests and is never returned in tool output.
• How it's used. To provide and improve the Services, process billing, enforce rate limits and prevent abuse, communicate support/service updates, and meet legal obligations. Requests are proxied to the Fodda API (https://api.fodda.ai) over TLS.
• Third-party sharing. We do not sell your personal information. Data is shared only with service providers (e.g. payment processors, cloud hosting) under confidentiality agreements, or when required by law.
• AI model training. Fodda does not use your queries or data to train AI models. Knowledge graphs are expert-curated, not generated from user interactions.
• Retention. Account information is retained while your account is active; query logs are retained for billing and analytics. You may request account/data deletion via the contact below.
• Security. TLS-encrypted connections, API-key authentication, and secure cloud infrastructure.
• Contact. Privacy inquiries: [email protected].

See the full hosted Privacy Policy (last updated June 16, 2026) for the complete, authoritative terms.
