The Gold Barometer MCP server

Gives AI assistants direct access to The Gold Barometer: a daily 0-100 score of gold buying conditions, compared with every trading day since 1971.

It measures conditions. It is not advice, and it does not predict the price.

Tools

Tool	What it answers
get_current_reading	Today's score, its zone, and the state of each measured part
get_reading_history	Past readings, with or without the reconstructed month-end rows
get_zone_record	What followed months in a given zone across the record since 1971

Install

Runs on Node 18 or newer. Add to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thegoldbarometer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "thegoldbarometer-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

No key, no signup. The server only reads public endpoints.

Hosted endpoint (no install)

The same three tools are served over HTTPS for clients that take a URL (Smithery, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, custom agents):

https://mcp.thegoldbarometer.com/mcp

Streamable HTTP, stateless, no key. Rate limited per IP at the edge. GET /health answers {"ok":true,"tools":3}.
