Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Simulated investment committee: 27 investor lenses read the same filings, debate, and a PM decides.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Accounting, finance & tax

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alphacouncil-agent": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "alphacouncil-agent"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add alphacouncil-agent -- npx -y alphacouncil-agent

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alphacouncil-agent": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "alphacouncil-agent"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "alphacouncil-agent": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "alphacouncil-agent"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Alphacouncil Agent safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.15) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

An investment-research council you can inspect

One request becomes sourced evidence, competing method views, a bull/bear challenge, and a portfolio-manager verdict.

English · 中文 · 日本語

Install · Try the data layer · See how calls expand · Read a report

v1.7: concise setup with remembered choices, conclusions first, expanded daily history and full method-dependency checks. Fresh confirmation is still required. Upgrade details and data-source boundaries.

Question → sourced evidence → frozen method stances → Bull/Bear challenge → PM decision + saved audit

Historical UI recording (MP4) · Historical report artifact (SOX, Chinese)

The recording predates the current 26-seat candidate. It demonstrates an earlier interface only—not current timing, method fidelity, data accuracy, four-code-host validation, or ChatGPT Work validation.

One question. An inspectable case.

AlphaCouncil turns a ticker question into a reviewable research process. Parallel evidence workers gather public sources, selected investment-method seats interpret the same dated facts, bull and bear challenge the case, and a portfolio manager records the decision and its invalidation conditions. Missing inputs stay visible instead of being filled with guesses.

The same repository supports Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and Grok Build, plus a tool-only ChatGPT Work developer-mode gateway. It classifies companies, ETFs, and market indices before research so a basket is not analyzed as if it were an operating company.

Install in Codex

Prerequisite: Node.js 18 or newer. Install with these two shell commands:

codex plugin marketplace add Zhao73/alphacouncil-agent

codex plugin add alphacouncil-agent@alphacouncil

Plugins load when Codex starts. Fully quit and restart Codex, open a new session, then enter this in the Codex composer:

@alphacouncil-agent analyze AAPL

For ChatGPT Work developer mode, Claude Code, OpenCode, Grok Build, Windows, troubleshooting, and the optional global npm command, use the [complete install guide](docs/INSTALL.md).

Free first run

Check the keyless public-data layer before starting a council:

# Codex

@alphacouncil-agent AAPL news

Claude Code, OpenCode, or Grok Build

/alpha AAPL news

This check starts no council workers and requires no data-vendor key. For bounded research in Codex, use @alphacouncil-agent AAPL quick; on the three slash-command hosts, use /alpha AAPL quick.

Choose the depth before it runs

AlphaCouncil shows the work plan first. Full research asks separately for method seats, evidence breadth, and depth; the user confirms them before workers start. Full tiers use 15 / 30 / 60 minute ceilings—never a hidden token or currency estimate.

RunModel-call structureTime ceiling
Data checkKeyless tools only; no council workers and no additional model fan-outOutside the council tiers
Quick research4 evidence workers in parallel → 1–4 method seats in parallel → Bull and Bear in parallel → PM10 minutes
Full — fast8 core or exactly 11 all-scope evidence workers start together; each selected method stance is frozen deterministically before one isolated explanation worker; 3 debate rounds → PM15 minutes
Full — normalSame confirmed roster, frozen-stance sequence, 3 debate rounds, and PM, with a larger depth envelope30 minutes
Full — slowSame confirmed roster and stages with the largest depth envelope60 minutes

These are queue-to-terminal persistence ceilings, not measured completion times. They guarantee an explicit terminal record even when work is incomplete; a successful live fast run within 15 minutes has not yet been demonstrated across the four hosts. Fast keeps the full contract but uses an auditable stage-aware reasoning profile and one shared lifecycle budget per primary/retry/repair chain; retries cannot silently double a seat's cap.

When an instrument classification and typed-fact coverage are already available, the selector also shows an eight-family advisory method match derived from all 26 physical pack manifests. An explicit objective and holding horizon additionally calibrate the match and separate directional, non-voting risk, and context-only contributions; out_of_scope is never a negative vote. For a one-year directional request, the PM maps sourced base-case total return to one published rating rubric instead of counting conservative method seats; the server binds the frozen price/currency and recomputes that return from a same-currency target plus income. An out_of_scope seat remains visible in the method bench but is structurally absent from the PM rating path. It is only a prefill: every pack remains selectable, no run starts without explicit confirmation, and a missing classification produces no guessed default. The output represents AI-generated method simulations—not human experts, independent models, or a promise of profit. See method-panel recommendation and seat evidence.

Only the slow run with all methods and all evidence workers enables the additional verification path; the other full tiers do not claim that extra check.

What you gain

BenefitWhat it changes
A council, not one answerEvidence specialists, method seats, opposing cases, and a PM expose where agreement comes from.
A stance before the storyEach selected full-run method stance is fixed from structured inputs before its isolated explanation is written.
Claims you can traceMaterial report claims must point to source IDs; missing evidence remains a stated gap.
Disagreement that survives synthesisThree cross-examination rounds and persisted minority or opposing reports keep the losing case available for review.
The right research path for the assetCompanies use issuer evidence; ETFs use dated holdings look-through; indices use aggregate methodology. The first data check is keyless.

How the architecture differs

This compares workflow shapes, not named products. A particular tool may implement a different design.

Review concernSingle-model reply or common shared-context flowAlphaCouncil
Correlated errorsOne shared context can carry an early mistake into every later stepEvidence seats and opposing paths run in isolated workers; they may still use the same provider or model and are not independent models
Position formationThe position can be composed together with its explanationA structured stance is frozen before explanatory prose
Source traceTraceability depends on the prompt and hostEvery material claim is required to carry a source ID
Minority viewDissent can be folded into the final summaryMinority and opposing reports remain surfaced as review artifacts

What the seats are—and are not

The method-seat formulas are AI-authored reconstructions of published methods, pending human review. The named practitioners have not reviewed or endorsed these seats. They are not impersonations, independent models, or validated replicas. A stance is a structured argument to check against its inputs and sources—not a validated investment model.

Current source evidence boundary: 26 provisional method seats, 0 validated method models, 0/8 registered-and-completed canonical evaluation runs, and 0/4 live-host end-to-end runs. Passing source tests does not change those zeros.
