name: GlobalData Intelligence Center MCP
summary: >-
  GlobalData Plc operates a first-party, production Model Context Protocol gateway at
  mcp.globaldata.com that exposes its business-intelligence estate as callable agent tools.
  The gateway is documented publicly at the host root ("GlobalData Intelligence Center — MCP
  Developer Documentation"), advertises itself in a machine-readable Agentic Resource Discovery
  manifest at /.well-known/ai-catalog.json, and publishes RFC 8414 / RFC 9728 OAuth metadata.
  It is one MCP server endpoint per industry vertical, all sharing one tool interface.
ownership: >-
  First-party and unambiguous. mcp.globaldata.com is a GlobalData-controlled host; the
  documentation page carries the GlobalData Plc registered-office footer (John Carpenter House,
  John Carpenter Street, London EC4Y 0AN, registered in England No. 03925319), the AIR manifest
  identifies the host as did:web:mcp.globaldata.com, authentication is delegated to GlobalData's
  own SSO at login.globaldata.com, and support routes to DDStechSupport@globaldata.com.

deployment:
  mode: remote
  endpoint: https://mcp.globaldata.com/{site}/mcp
  auth: oauth
  verified: probed
  note: >-
    Remote-only. There is no first-party stdio package: the Claude Desktop instructions in
    GlobalData's own documentation use the generic third-party `npx -y mcp-remote <url>` bridge
    pointed at the hosted endpoint, which is a client-side shim for a remote server, not a
    GlobalData-published local server. Nothing named globaldata ships on npm or PyPI (both
    names are squatted by unrelated third-party packages — see packages/).

    note: >-
      Every vertical endpoint probed (ads, disruptor, technology, mining, sport) returned the same
      401. The live tool list with real inputSchema requires an authenticated session, so the tool
      inventory below is transcribed from GlobalData's own published developer reference and the
      AIR manifest — names, descriptions and availability are first-party, input schemas are NOT
      captured and require authenticated introspection.

    Tool visibility is driven by subscription entitlement, not only by the reveal step. A domain
    the subscription does not include will not reveal and the response says so (not_entitled).

      Company ID (returned by list_companies, and by resolve_entities as company_id) is the
      primary join key across every content domain. A second identifier, cdms_company_id, is
      returned alongside it and is used only by a handful of tools that ask for it by name.
  source: https://mcp.globaldata.com/ (Section 02)

progressive_discovery:
  model: >-
    The gateway does not expose all tools at connect time. Seven gateway tools are always visible;
    a domain's standard tools appear only after discover_capabilities('<domain>'), and its
    analytics tools after reveal_advanced('<domain>'). Both emit notifications/tools/list_changed.

    - level: 2
      label: Advanced / analytics
      unlock: reveal_advanced('<domain>')
  caveat: >-
    GlobalData's own documentation warns that a freshly revealed tool may not be callable by name
    until the client re-fetches tools/list, and recommends search(domain, keywords) immediately
    after a reveal.
