Fodda
The Fodda MCP Server provides AI agents with access to expert-curated knowledge graphs (PSFK Retail, Beauty, Sports, and partner datasets) to explore trends, discover relationships, and retrieve sourced intelligence.
Search knowledge graphs (
search_graph): Hybrid vector + keyword search across graphs (retail, beauty, sports, psfk, sic, waldo) with a 3-tier fallback to always return results.Traverse relationships (
get_neighbors): Start from seed nodes and explore connected concepts up to 2 levels deep, optionally filtering by relationship type.Retrieve source evidence (
get_evidence): Get sourced signals, articles, URLs, and provenance data for any node — useful for fact-checking and citation.Fetch node metadata (
get_node): Retrieve full metadata, labels, display name, and properties for any node by its ID.Discover label/category values (
get_label_values): List all valid values for a given node label or category (e.g., RetailerType, Technology) — useful for filtering and exploration.Get macro industry overviews (
psfk_overview): Retrieve structured briefings across PSFK industries and sectors, with up to 3 meta-patterns filterable by industry, sector, region, and timeframe.System integration: Supports SSE, HTTP, and stdio protocols (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini), API key auth, rate limiting, and self-hosting via Docker, Kubernetes, or Cloud Run.
Enables Google Gemini AI agents to query Fodda knowledge graphs via Vertex AI for research and analysis, supporting deterministic mode.
Allows Notion AI agents to connect to Fodda knowledge graphs for retrieving trends, statistics, and evidence within Notion's custom agent environment.
Allows OpenAI Codex/ChatGPT to search Fodda knowledge graphs via REST API for trends, statistics, and evidence, enhancing AI outputs with curated institutional data.

Expert-curated knowledge graphs for AI agents — PSFK Retail, Beauty, Sports and partner datasets via the Model Context Protocol.
Quick Start
Claude (Web — Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise)
⚡ Quick Connect: Use this Add to Claude quick link (replace YOUR_API_KEY and YOUR_EMAIL in the URL before pressing enter).
Manual Setup:
In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
Enter URL:
https://mcp.fodda.ai/mcp?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&user_id=YOUR_EMAILUnder Advanced settings — leave OAuth Client ID and Secret blank (Fodda uses API key auth, not OAuth)
Click Add — then start chatting with your Fodda knowledge graphs
Get your API key at app.fodda.ai → Account → MCP Integration.
Your API key starts withfk_live_...
Use the email address associated with your Fodda account foruser_id.
Claude Code (CLI — SSE)
claude mcp add --transport sse fodda https://mcp.fodda.ai/sse \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"Claude Enterprise
For Claude Enterprise with admin-managed connectors, your workspace admin can register the Fodda MCP server using the same Streamable HTTP endpoint (https://mcp.fodda.ai/mcp) via the Admin Console. See Enterprise MCP Setup for full details.
OpenAI Frontier or Streamable HTTP Client
Connect to the /mcp endpoint using HTTP GET to establish a stream and POST to execute:
https://mcp.fodda.ai/mcpGemini CLI
{
"tools": [{
"type": "mcp",
"name": "fodda",
"url": "https://mcp.fodda.ai/sse",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
}]
}Generic SSE Client
Connect to https://mcp.fodda.ai/sse with an Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY header.
