What Are MCP Tools?
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It's a system that lets TrustAI call special tools while you're chatting. Instead of only using pre-loaded information, the AI can pull live prices, run calculations, and even create charts — right in the middle of your conversation.
Think of it like giving the AI a toolbox. When you ask a question, it picks the right tools, uses them, and then puts everything together into a clear answer.
What the Tools Do
The tools are grouped into four categories:
- •Market Data: Live prices, company profiles, financial statements, and event calendars.
- •Analysis: Technical analysis, social media sentiment, insider trading data, institutional holdings, and peer comparisons.
- •Screening & Strategy: Stock screening with custom filters, strategy building, backtesting, and goal planning.
- •Multi-Modal Output: Chart generation, research reports, and score alerts.
How It Picks the Right Tools
You don't need to tell the AI which tools to use. It figures it out from your question. A simple score question might only need one tool. A full portfolio review might use a dozen tools to gather data on every stock you own.
Knowing that these tools exist can help you ask richer questions. For example, "Compare AAPL and MSFT across all fundamentals" triggers the peer comparison tool and gives you a structured side-by-side view.
Pro vs Elite
Pro users get Market Data, Analysis, and Screening tools. Elite users also get Multi-Modal Output — the ability to create interactive charts and PDF research reports right inside the conversation.
Both tiers get much richer AI responses than Free or Starter, because the AI has access to live data instead of just general knowledge.
