Gold Data Reading MCP server
by Wangxian111
Lets your AI pull daily gold and macro readings, with sources and dates attached to every number.
This is a small helper that gives your AI assistant daily gold and macro numbers from xaudaily.com, a site that tracks gold prices and economic indicators. It is handy if you write about gold, markets, or the economy and want figures you can actually point to. You do not need an account, a key, or any signup.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already learned. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI one new skill, here the ability to fetch gold and macro readings from xaudaily.com. Once it is connected, you ask a question in plain words and the AI quietly asks this helper for the numbers. The helper goes to the site, brings back the data, and your AI writes the answer.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI something like what the gold price is today or what the latest US inflation reading was. The AI passes that request to this helper program running on your computer. The helper fetches a single file from xaudaily.com that already contains all the numbers: gold, Shanghai gold, CPI, PCE, nonfarm payrolls, PPI, the dollar index, Treasury yields, VIX, SPDR holdings, the Fed funds rate, FOMC odds, central bank gold buying, and oil. It hands that file back to your AI, which then answers you in normal language. Every number comes with its own source and date, so your AI can tell you where it came from.
What you can do with it
- Look up the current COMEX gold price and the Shanghai Au99.99 price
- Check the latest US CPI, core PCE, nonfarm payrolls, or PPI figures
- See the DXY, 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields, and the VIX
- Read the Fed funds rate and the market odds for the next FOMC decision
- Follow central bank gold buying and SPDR gold ETF holdings
- Get a short daily brief of today's headline numbers
- Ask for only the fields you care about instead of the whole file
Try asking your AI
- “What is the gold price today and where does that number come from?”
- “Give me the latest US CPI and nonfarm payrolls readings with their dates”
- “What are the current FOMC decision odds and the Fed funds rate?”
- “Summarize today's gold and macro brief for me”
What it gives back to you
You get back either a short Markdown brief of the day's headline numbers, or the full set of readings as structured data. In the chat this usually shows up as a tidy summary your AI writes for you, with the figures and their sources. If you ask for specific fields, you get just those. If a source failed upstream, the field is marked as stale so you know it is not the newest value.
Before you start
What you need
- Python 3 installed on your computer (the helper is a single Python file with no extra packages)
- The Claude desktop app or another app that supports MCP servers
- Nothing else: no account, no API key, no signup
Good to know
These are daily readings updated twice a day, not a live market feed, and they are not investment advice, so do not treat the numbers as guaranteed or real time.
