AlphaSense MCP Connector
The MCP is part of the Enterprise Suite offering. Request access and your account team will be in touch shortly to discuss how to get started.
Request Access
The AlphaSense MCP connector makes AlphaSense available inside your AI client. Ask a question in your normal conversation and it answers from AlphaSense, with citations and links back to the sources.
Before you start
The connector works in Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Snowflake, and Amazon Quick. An administrator adds it once for your organization (in Codex, you add it yourself) — see the setup guide — and you then connect it once with your own AlphaSense sign-in. In ChatGPT, also select AlphaSense with @ in each chat.
What you can retrieve matches your AlphaSense entitlements, with one exception: Broker Research. See Limits.
The two tools
Your client picks the right tool based on your question.
| Tool | The client uses it when |
|---|---|
alphasense_search | The default. Use for anything that doesn't name specific content, and for anything about broker research or analyst views (see Limits for what broker questions return). |
alphasense_search_specific | Your question names the content it wants — a filing, earnings transcript, expert call, or news. |
Both return an answer with inline citations and a link to open the conversation on AlphaSense. Follow-up questions continue the same conversation, so you can ask "what about the prior quarter?" without repeating yourself.
Example prompts
What are experts from AlphaSense saying about margin pressure for European luxury retailers?
Summarize what NVIDIA said about data center demand on its most recent earnings call.
And how did that compare with the prior quarter?
Be specific, and say what kind of content you want, so AlphaSense can target the request.
Limits
The MCP is currently limited to GenSearch Auto mode, using our generative search engine. Remember to always click through to the citations to validate numbers.
Broker Research. If you can open something on the platform, the connector can retrieve it, except Broker Research. When a broker perspective exists, the response includes a link that opens that search in AlphaSense.
Troubleshooting
AlphaSense isn't listed, or returns nothing. Find AlphaSense in your client's connector
settings, click Connect, and sign in (in ChatGPT, install the AlphaSense plugin; in Codex, run
codex mcp login alphasense) — skipping this one-time step is the most common cause. Check that
it's switched on for the current conversation too. If it isn't listed at all, ask your administrator
to follow the setup guide.
Source links don't open. They need an active AlphaSense session. Sign in and try again.
AlphaSense is not connecting. Try signing in to the platform to confirm you have access. With an active session, connect to the MCP. If you don't have access, reach out to your account team.
