# Introduction

## Turn Your AI Assistant into a Financial Research Analyst

Connect your favorite Agentic platform (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Microsoft Copilot) to Bigdata.com and give it direct access to premium financial data, news, filings, earnings transcripts, and market intelligence. No code required.

With the Bigdata.com Remote MCP, your AI assistant can **search** across millions of financial documents, **retrieve** comprehensive company and country tearsheets, **pull cross-asset market benchmarks** in one call, **monitor** earnings calendars, and **analyze** macroeconomic data, all in a single conversation.

Financial institutions can empower their agentic platforms to produce reports with consistent quality, analytical depth, and grounded in premium content, at scale, creating cohesive research across their entire portfolio.
