MCP server reference
What's Moving is an MCP server over the same archive the app shows. Fourteen read-only tools: dossiers, the timestamped record, associations, price bars with indicators, fundamentals, search. Endpoint https://api.whatsmoving.app/api/mcp — set-up steps for Claude, Claude Code and other clients are on Connect.
What you can ask
- What's behind the AI data-center power names this week?
- Which narratives has NVDA been part of since August, and which way did it move each time?
- Give me XLE's last 60 daily bars with RSI and MACD.
- What moved in semiconductors today, and what was cited for each move?
- Which narratives gained or lost members over the last month?
- Which of my followed stocks moved this week, and why?
Tools
| Tool | Returns | Arguments |
|---|---|---|
get_market | The session at a glance: up to nine stories with typed refs to their evidence, index and macro quotes, breadth, the sector heatmap, the macro narratives cited that session, biggest movers, the upcoming economic calendar | — |
get_sector | One sector or industry: its session, its movers, the narratives running through it | category |
get_security | One stock: recent moves sized against its own history and the session, current narratives, a fundamentals digest, its sector | security |
get_events | Timestamped archive records for a market, security or sector scope, newest first: detected moves with cited evidence and the stories selected for a session | scope, from, to, changed_since, limit, cursor |
get_narrative_history | One narrative's recorded activity: its rows, membership with the time each was observed from, the sessions its members moved its way, the sectors it reaches | narrative, from, to, limit, cursor |
get_similar_events | Past moves matching one on recorded factual dimensions — catalyst type, category, magnitude band — with the match explained. Category is the subject's industry as classified today; the archive keeps no classification history | move, dimensions, from, to, limit, cursor |
get_news | The curated corpus for a market, security, sector or narrative scope: source, title, time, URL. Article text is never returned. A market scope returns macro items only; use a security or category scope for a stock's news | scope, from, to, limit, cursor |
get_association_summary | Which edge types one node has, a preview of each, and whether more follow | node |
get_associations | One hop from a node along one edge type; windowed types carry their ranges | node, edge_type, from, to, limit, cursor |
get_candles | OHLCV bars for one tracked stock or index/sector ETF as parallel columns; daily bars accept indicator columns | security, interval (5m/1d), from, to, indicators, limit, cursor |
get_fundamentals | Published valuation, margin, growth and earnings figures for one to five stocks. Factual metrics only — no scores, targets or comparisons | symbols |
get_series | Session-by-session aggregates: narrative membership turnover, market-wide | scope, metric, from, to, limit, cursor |
search | Name fragment → typed refs: securities, sectors/industries, narratives | query |
get_my_follows | Published items filtered by this account's follows — a delivery filter; the items are the same for everyone | limit, cursor |
Price bars and indicators
get_candles serves daily bars over at most five years per request and 5-minute bars over at most fourteen days per request, for every tracked security and for SPY, QQQ, DIA, IWM, ^VIX and XLB, XLC, XLE, XLF, XLI, XLK, XLP, XLRE, XLU, XLV, XLY. Daily bars are split-adjusted, not dividend-adjusted.
Indicators are computed on our side with ta-lib on daily bars only, up to six per call. You ask by name; the answer's column key carries the parameters, so rsi_14 says what was computed; the warm-up is long enough that the value does not depend on where the window starts — and for a recently listed stock with less history than that, the response says how much warm-up it actually had:
| Ask for | Indicator | Parameters | Column key |
|---|---|---|---|
sma | Simple moving average | 20 | sma_20 |
ema | Exponential moving average | 20 | ema_20 |
bbands | Bollinger Bands (upper / middle / lower) | 20, 2σ up, 2σ down | bbands_20_2_2 |
sar | Parabolic SAR | 0.02, 0.2 | sar_0.02_0.2 |

Tiers and limits
Free: new content 15 minutes after it publishes, and the archive rails — events, news, series, associations, histories — reach back 30 days. Pro: no delay, the full archive. Price bars, fundamentals and a dossier's present state are served to both tiers (Free with the delay). Both tiers share one hourly budget per account of 600 units; most calls cost one unit, get_market and get_security four, get_candles five, get_fundamentals eight. Pages are bounded and walk by cursor.
What the server will not do
Nothing predictive, nothing personal: every attribution is editorial and dated, no tool says what happens next, and your follows shape only get_my_follows. Article text is never returned — a title, a time and a URL are, with the source's name where the feed carries one. The news we cite comes from public sources; we link to each source and judge whether it supports an attribution, but do not verify every fact it reports — judge it before you rely on it.
Privacy
One log line per call (tool, outcome, duration, size), never the question or the answer; details under Connecting an AI assistant in the privacy policy.
Clients
Claude (custom connector, sign in) and Claude Code (one command, sign in) are verified; any other client that speaks Streamable HTTP and sends a bearer header works with a personal token minted in the app. Steps: Connect.
