AlphaAI
AlphaAI is a hosted financial news API that delivers pre-scored, ticker-linked news stories over REST and MCP. It is designed for developers building trading bots, AI agents, and financial dashboards. Each article in its feed comes with a relevance score from 1 to 10, the affected tickers, per-ticker sentiment and reasoning, an impact category, and timestamps. The API also exposes structured SEC filing data, including insider trades (Form 4) and corporate events. The feed is constructed through a four-step pipeline: collection from global sources (GDELT, SEC EDGAR, curated publisher RSS), enrichment with LLM-based relevance scoring and sentiment classification, validation against active symbol lists with deduplication, and serving only articles that meet a relevance threshold. This pre-filtering reduces noise, allowing clients to save tokens and processing time when using the data with language models. Developers can filter by ticker symbol, category, minimum relevance, and time using simple query parameters. Responses are cursor-paginated JSON with full OpenAPI 3.1 documentation and a Swagger UI. Optional TypeScript and Python SDKs are available, and an MCP server exposes the same feed as tools for use in agentic systems. A free tier requires no credit card and offers 20 requests per minute and 100 requests per day.

Problem solved
AlphaAI solves the problem of noisy financial news streams by delivering only stories that are relevant to specific tickers, with pre-computed relevance scores, sentiment, and SEC filing context. This reduces the burden on trading bots and AI agents to sift through raw headlines, and minimizes token costs when ingesting news into LLMs.
