The Gold Barometer MCP server
Gives AI assistants direct access to The Gold Barometer: a daily 0-100 score of gold buying conditions, compared with every trading day since 1971.
It measures conditions. It is not advice, and it does not predict the price.
Tools
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
get_current_reading | Today's score, its zone, and the state of each measured part |
get_reading_history | Past readings, with or without the reconstructed month-end rows |
get_zone_record | What followed months in a given zone across the record since 1971 |
