MCP server overview
The Neural Ledger runs a hosted Model Context Protocol server, so AI clients can research against TNL evidence directly instead of going through the REST API.
| Server name | tnl-intelligence |
| Title | The Neural Ledger Intelligence |
| Version | 1.0.0 |
| Canonical host | https://mcp.theneuralledger.com/mcp |
| Transport alias | https://mcp.tnl.st/mcp |
| Authentication | OAuth 2.0, scope tnl:read |
| Tools | 6, all read-only |
| Timeout budget | 180 seconds |
What it is for
The REST API gives you records. The MCP server gives you bounded research over those records: it selects evidence in a time window, separates documented fact from inference, and returns citations with every claim.
All six tools are annotated readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: true, openWorldHint: false. Nothing the server exposes can mutate your account or TNL data.
Server instructions
The server ships these instructions to connecting clients, and they describe the contract the tools are built around:
TNL provides evidence-first news intelligence and research. Cite returned sources for material factual claims. Distinguish documented evidence from TNL inference and scenarios. Do not present results as guaranteed accuracy or personalized investment advice. Do not execute trades or claim real-time completeness. Use the narrowest tool matching the user intent.
Not investment advice
Every tool returns modeled analysis alongside documented evidence, and labels which is which. The evidenceType field on each claim exists so you can keep them apart in your own UI. Do not present scenario or inference output as established fact.
The six tools
| Tool | Answers |
|---|---|
tnl_research_what_changed | What moved in this window versus the baseline before it? |
tnl_research_compare_sources | Who covered this, who omitted it, and where do they contradict? |
tnl_research_validate_event | Is there TNL evidence this actually happened? |
tnl_research_asset_exposure | What paths connect this asset or entity to recent events? |
tnl_research_operational_risk | What bounded risk scenarios follow from the evidence? |
tnl_research_weekly_consequential | What mattered most in one week, deduplicated and ranked? |
