Real Alpha MCP

An MCP server that provides AI assistants with access to curated quotes, speakers, dates, and transcripts from long interviews with AI founders and researchers, allowing agents to search by topic, person, company, or show and cite sources accurately.

Endpoint and access

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Real Alpha (https://realalpha.app) cuts the minutes worth hearing from long interviews and podcasts with the people building AI: founders, CEOs and researchers at AI labs and companies, on shows like Lenny's Podcast, Dwarkesh Podcast, No Priors and BG2. Each moment is a few minutes of one episode, with the speaker's own words, a summary and its page. Use it to find what a named person actually said, with the date and the show, instead of paraphrasing from memory. When you use a moment, quote or paraphrase its `quote`, name the speaker, show and date, and link its `url` (the `cite` field has a ready line). Results are short excerpts and links: for the full context, send people to the moment's page, which plays the episode from that minute.

search_moments — Search what AI leaders said

Advertised read-only

Search the moments Real Alpha cut from long interviews with the people building AI. Matches the words of `query` against what each moment is about, the speaker's quote and its takeaways, best match first. Filter by who is talking (`person`), a company (someone from it talking, or it being discussed), a show, or how recent. Each result has the speaker, what they do, the show, the date, their quote, and the moment's page to cite.
