MCP Server

[Matt Bishop]

Hi everyone, I'm a programming mentor over at Team 86. I have been doing a fair bit of AI-based integrations these days so I used some tools to create an MCP server that queries TBA's API:

https://github.com/withinfocus/tba-mcp-server

Not every tool is implemented yet but it's a start. The idea is that you can -- with a TBA API key for now -- self-host the MCP server and point your AI tool of choice at it. Some tools are better than others but regardless the AI interacting with this could in principle create new analyses, reports, insights, or whatever it's best at.

Future direction for this could be hosting it at TBA itself and implementing the necessary authentication (avoiding the API key need perhaps), adding more tools, implementing additional capabilities exposed by MCP itself, and more.

The README should hopefully explain how to set it up and develop changes. Lemme know what you think and feel free to make any contributions.

I've been adding functionality on and off and the latest version:

https://github.com/withinfocus/tba-mcp-server/releases/tag/v0.2.5

supports all the API functionality. It's a pretty handy tool if you plug it into your AI tool of choice. Again, please send any and all feedback my way!
