viewdaily

viewdaily is a small local bridge to FinChiefs' hosted MCP server, which collects daily research from more than 200 providers - banks, asset managers, central banks, multilaterals and independent researchers - and distils it into directional views on assets, macro themes, written daily digests and structured central-bank policy signals, each with a link back to the source publication.

The bridge keeps no research data of its own. It serves the upstream server's tool list locally, exactly as captured from the live endpoint, and forwards each tool call upstream, returning the result untouched. The whole captured surface is read-only: nothing here places orders, moves money or sends anything anywhere.

Tools

• list_providers - the providers the service follows. Optional: query (part of a provider name) and limit (1-300, default 100). A provider id from here limits the other tools to one source.

• list_categories - asset digest categories (such as gold, oil, us_bonds, eurusd) and macro categories (such as monetary_policy, geopolitics). Keys flagged with a daily digest work with get_daily_digests; macro keys also filter search_macro_views and summarize_views. No arguments.

• summarize_views - the overall picture from every matching view in one small response: totals, up/down counts, provider leanings, busiest providers, a week-by-week trend and the most-discussed subjects. Required: kind (asset or macro). Optional: terms, asset_class, category, provider_id, since, until.

• search_asset_views - individual directional (up/down) views on assets, with provider, date, horizon, rationale and source link, paged via offset / next_offset and spread across providers by default.

• search_macro_views - individual macro themes and drivers from provider research, each with a description and source link, paged the same way.

• search_research - research publications (articles, reports, podcasts) with title, provider, date, a short description and the link to the original, ranked by term match then newest.

• get_daily_digests - daily summaries written from all providers' views for a category, with the day's up/down tallies. Required: categories (1-10 category keys, e.g. ["gold"], or ["__overall__"] for the cross-asset summary).

• get_policy_signals - structured reads of central-bank and multilateral publications: decisions, stance (-2 dovish to +2 hawkish), guidance, conditions, speaker and forecasts, newest first.

Configuration

• FINCHIEFS_MCP_URL (optional) - override the upstream endpoint. Defaults to https://finchiefs.com/api/mcp. (The override hook is this rebuild's own labelled reconstruction.)

• FINCHIEFS_API_KEY (optional) - when set, every upstream request carries an Authorization: Bearer <key> header. When it is not set, no auth header is sent. (This forwarding is also a labelled reconstruction; the original surface was captured keyless.)

Forwarding mechanics

On the first tool call the client opens a streamable HTTP session with the upstream: a JSON-RPC initialize request (protocolVersion 2025-03-26, clientInfo name viewdaily), then a notifications/initialized notification, then the tools/call request carrying the caller's arguments unchanged. When the upstream answers initialize with an Mcp-Session-Id header, that value rides on every later request of the session, which is reused for the life of the process. Replies may arrive as plain JSON or as server-sent events; both are read.

Successful upstream results pass through verbatim, including any isError flag the upstream sets. Failures - a JSON-RPC error, a non-2xx status, an unreadable response, or a request that cannot be completed - come back as an isError result whose text starts with viewdaily error: (this rendering is this rebuild's own labelled reconstruction).

CLI

Each tool is also a subcommand taking one JSON argument string (omit it for tools that take none):

npx @reneturcios/viewdaily list_providers '{"query":"ECB"}'
npx @reneturcios/viewdaily summarize_views '{"kind":"asset","terms":["gold"]}'
npx @reneturcios/viewdaily get_daily_digests '{"categories":["gold"]}'
npx @reneturcios/viewdaily list_categories
npx @reneturcios/viewdaily --version

Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 on an isError result, 2 on a usage error.

MCP server

npx -y @reneturcios/viewdaily mcp

MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "viewdaily": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/viewdaily", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Docker

docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/viewdaily
docker run --rm ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/viewdaily --version

The container's default command is mcp, so the first form is a stdio MCP server; any other arguments reach the CLI normally.

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm test
npm run dev

The test suite runs entirely against a stubbed JSON-RPC upstream - no live network calls.
