What is the Palanor MCP server?

A read-only Model Context Protocol server that exposes the Palanor lattice — signals, Custom Indices, Currents, and the Wire — so any MCP-capable agent (Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or a custom app) can call Palanor without opening the product UI.

How do I authenticate?

With a Palanor API key sent as an Authorization: Bearer header. Create one at palanor.com/api-tokens. The free tier includes 1,000 requests per month.

It is read-only. It does not expose the scenario scoring engine, scenario authoring, or the Numen agent — those live inside the Enterprise Intelligence Platform. The MCP serves the intelligence reads; the platform serves the calibrated product.

Developers

Palanor MCP

Palanor, callable from any agent.

A read-only Model Context Protocol server that exposes the Palanor lattice — signals, Palanor-authored Custom Indices, and the world’s named Currents — to Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or whatever you’re building. Drop it in with a URL and a key. No UI required.

Part of Palanor Data: the tiers, the provenance on every value, and how it compares with other providers.

Endpoint

https://palanor.com/api/v1/mcp

Authenticate with a Palanor API key as a Bearer header. Create one on the API keys page — the free tier includes 1,000 requests / month, values included.

Add it to your client

Most desktop clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor) connect through the mcp-remote bridge, which forwards your key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "palanor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",
        "https://palanor.com/api/v1/mcp",
        "--header", "Authorization:Bearer ${PALANOR_API_KEY}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Clients with native remote-HTTP + header support can point straight at it:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "palanor": {
      "url": "https://palanor.com/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PALANOR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Reads, not the engine

The MCP is read-only by design. It does not expose the scenario scoring engine, scenario authoring, or the Numen agent — those live inside the platform. The MCP serves the intelligence reads; the Enterprise Intelligence Platform serves the calibrated, scenario-authored product.
