Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@ThesisSynthesize the latest financial research for NVDA."
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Thesis
Self-hosted per-ticker research workspace for retail investors. Capture content from anywhere via the PWA share sheet. The workspace exposes an MCP server so your own agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex CLI) does the synthesis. Single-user MVP — your data stays in your Cloudflare account.
Research aid, not advice. The agent writes; you decide.

Quick start
git clone <repo> && cd invest
npm install
cp apps/worker/.dev.vars.example apps/worker/.dev.vars
# Edit apps/worker/.dev.vars — set THESIS_BEARER_TOKEN, optionally FINNHUB_API_KEY + FRED_API_KEY
# Terminal 1 — worker on :8787
npm run dev:worker
# Terminal 2 — PWA on :5173 (proxies /api and /mcp to :8787)
npm run dev:pwaOpen http://localhost:5173. Add a bearer token in Settings (use the value from .dev.vars).
Connect an agent (BYOA)
GET /api/mcp-info returns the MCP endpoint, tool list, and auth instructions. The Settings page renders the same info with copy-ready URLs.
Streamable HTTP (preferred):
POST /mcp,GET /mcpLegacy SSE:
GET /mcp/sse,POST /mcp/messagesAuth:
Authorization: Bearer <token>or?token=<token>
Env vars
All secrets go in apps/worker/.dev.vars for local dev. See apps/worker/.dev.vars.example.
