Connect to Helium's MCP server for news research, media bias analysis, balanced perspectives, stock/options data, and semantic meme search across 3.2M+ articles and 5,000+ sources
Helium MCP provides AI coding assistants with access to news intelligence, media bias analysis, financial market data, and meme search through 9 tools exposed via the Model Context Protocol. It covers 3.2M+ articles from 5,000+ news sources with 15+ bias dimensions, live stock/ETF/crypto data with AI-generated analysis, and ML-predicted options pricing.
When to Use This Skill
Use when you need to search or analyze news articles with bias-aware context
Use when researching media bias for a specific source or article URL
Use when you want balanced left/right/center perspectives on a topic
Use when looking up live stock, ETF, or crypto data with AI bull/bear cases
Use when pricing options or evaluating trading strategies
Use when searching for memes by semantic meaning
MCP Configuration
Add the Helium MCP server to your client configuration. The endpoint uses streamable HTTP and requires no authentication.
The assistant will call get_bias_from_url to return source-level and article-level bias indicators.
Best Practices
Start broad, then narrow: Use search_news for discovery, then get_bias_from_url for deep analysis on specific articles
Cross-reference perspectives: Combine search_balanced_news with get_source_bias to understand why sources frame topics differently
Pair market tools: Use get_ticker for the fundamental view, then get_option_price or get_top_trading_strategies for actionable trades
No auth needed: The endpoint works immediately with no API keys or setup beyond adding the MCP config
Common Pitfalls
Problem: Tool calls return empty results for very niche queries
Solution: Broaden the search terms — Helium indexes mainstream and mid-tier sources, so hyper-local topics may have limited coverage
Problem: Options data unavailable for a ticker
Solution: Verify the ticker has listed options — some small-cap stocks and most crypto assets do not have options markets
