Lambda Capture MCP Server

What does “Lambda Capture” MCP Server do?

The Lambda Capture MCP Server is designed to facilitate semantic search over macroeconomic data, specifically tailored for quantitative research AI agents. By implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it allows AI assistants to seamlessly connect with external macro data sources and services. This enables workflows such as advanced semantic search, real-time querying, and integration of structured macroeconomic datasets directly into AI-powered analysis. Developers and quant researchers can leverage this server to automate the retrieval and contextualization of economic indicators, making data-driven decisions more efficient and robust.

• Automated Macroeconomic Reporting: Assists in generating summaries or reports by programmatically pulling data that matches specific economic topics or queries.
• Quantitative Model Input Generation: Provides contextually relevant macroeconomic variables to quantitative models, aiding in backtesting and live trading strategies.
• AI-powered Economic Insights: Allows AI assistants to answer complex economic questions or provide insights using up-to-date macro data.
• API-Driven Workflow Integration: Facilitates the integration of macroeconomic data retrieval into external applications or automated pipelines via the MCP protocol.

How to set it up

Windsurf

No specific setup instructions for Windsurf are provided in the available documentation.

Claude

1. Obtain your Lambda Capture API key from lambda-capture.com .
2. Open Claude -> Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config.
3. Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lambda-capture-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.lambda-capture.com/v1/mcp/",
        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      ],
      "description": "RemoteMCP with Lambda Capture Macroeconomic Data API"
    }
  }
}

4. Save your configuration and restart Claude.
5. Verify that the MCP server appears in your list of available servers.

Securing API Keys

It is recommended to use environment variables for API keys. Example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lambda-capture-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.lambda-capture.com/v1/mcp/",
        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer $LAMBDA_CAPTURE_API_KEY"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LAMBDA_CAPTURE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      },
      "description": "RemoteMCP with Lambda Capture Macroeconomic Data API"
    }
  }
}

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "lambda-capture-mcp": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://mcp.lambda-capture.com/v1/mcp/"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change "lambda-capture-mcp" to your chosen label if needed and replace the URL if running your own MCP server instance.

Overview

Based on the available documentation, Lambda Capture MCP Server offers essential semantic search functionality for macroeconomic data and clear setup instructions for Claude, with API key security recommendations. However, it lacks detail on prompt templates, resources, and support for additional platforms or advanced MCP features like Roots and Sampling. Overall, it is a focused and useful server for quant research, but coverage of broader MCP features is limited.
