The Gold Barometer MCP

An MCP server providing tools to retrieve the daily gold buying-conditions score (0-100), its historical archive, and zone records. It allows agents to access current readings, full history, and contextual data about gold market conditions since 1971 without requiring API keys or sign-up.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

get_current_reading

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Today's Gold Barometer reading: the 0-100 gold buying-conditions score, its zone, and the state of each measured part. Updated daily after the US market closes. A free email goes out each time the reading moves to a new zone; the result carries the sign-up address. It measures conditions. It is not advice, and it does not predict the price.

}

get_reading_history

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Past Gold Barometer readings, oldest first. Daily published readings by default; set include_reconstructed to true to add month-end context rows rebuilt back to 2019. The monthly record back to 1971 lives in the public archive.

get_zone_record

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

What followed months that read like a given zone, across the reconstructed record since 1971: median gold move 1 and 5 years later, before and after inflation, with the month count behind each figure. It measures conditions. It is not advice, and it does not predict the price.

90-day uptime

A lightweight connection check about every six hours, sampled on hosts with many listings. It shows the server answered, not that its tools work.

Too few checks for a percentage yet (2 of 2 answered).

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http the-gold-barometer-mcp-thegoldbarometer https://mcp.thegoldbarometer.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add the-gold-barometer-mcp-thegoldbarometer --url https://mcp.thegoldbarometer.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable the-gold-barometer-mcp-thegoldbarometer in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-gold-barometer-mcp-thegoldbarometer": {
      "url": "https://mcp.thegoldbarometer.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-gold-barometer-mcp-thegoldbarometer": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.thegoldbarometer.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start the-gold-barometer-mcp-thegoldbarometer and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "the-gold-barometer-mcp-thegoldbarometer": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.thegoldbarometer.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http the-gold-barometer-mcp-thegoldbarometer https://mcp.thegoldbarometer.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.

Claude Desktop configuration

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-gold-barometer-mcp-thegoldbarometer": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.thegoldbarometer.com/mcp"
