Overview
The GDELT Cloud MCP server exposes non-GDELT categories as enrichment. Use them after GDELT Cloud Events, Stories, or Entities establish the core signal.
| Category | Wrapper Tools | Use |
|---|
| Macro finance | macro_finance_tool_list, macro_finance_tool_get, macro_finance_tool_call | Quotes, historical series, FX, commodities, rates, economic indicators, and symbol/search/catalog helpers. |
| Prediction markets | prediction_market_tool_list, prediction_market_tool_get, prediction_market_tool_call | Scenario markets, event pages, contract records, probabilities, status, and public market URLs when available. |
| Web research | web_research_tool_list, web_research_tool_get, web_research_tool_call | Search and extraction for official statements, specialist context, corroboration, and source-article reading. |
Shared Wrapper Parameters
| Wrapper | Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|
*_tool_list | none | no | Lists available nested tools in that category. |
*_tool_get | tool_name | conditional | Single nested tool name to inspect. |
*_tool_get | tool_names | conditional | List of nested tool names to inspect together. |
*_tool_call | tool_name | yes | Exact nested tool name to execute. |
*_tool_call | tool_arguments | no | Object containing the selected nested tool’s parameters. |
Macro Finance
Macro-finance nested tools are discovered dynamically through macro_finance_tool_list and macro_finance_tool_get.
Use for:
- equity and index quotes
- historical price series
- FX pairs
- commodities
- rates
- economic indicators
- provider symbol/search/catalog helpers when exposed
Provider symbols are not interchangeable across data vendors. Inspect the target schema first, then resolve provider-supported symbols through a search/catalog helper or web research. If a provider error returns retry guidance, change the lookup instead of retrying unchanged.

Use Pattern
- Anchor the analysis in GDELT Cloud structured Events, Stories, and Entities.
- Use macro finance when there are price, FX, rates, commodity, or economic-indicator implications.
- Use prediction markets when the question involves odds, policy, elections, escalation, or whether a tradable market exists.
- Use web research for official language, corroboration, specialist sources, and source-article extraction.
