# The Gold Barometer MCP server

[![The Gold Barometer MCP server](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/thegoldbarometer/mcp-server/badge)](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/thegoldbarometer/mcp-server)

Gives AI assistants direct access to [The Gold Barometer](https://thegoldbarometer.com/):
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

| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
| `get_current_reading` | Today's score, its zone, and the state of each measured part |
| `get_reading_history` | Past readings, with or without the reconstructed month-end rows |
| `get_zone_record` | What 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}`.
