Insights
S&P Global's Claude integration extends market reach, strengthens competitive position, and modernizes data delivery through strategic AI partnership.
This partnership between S&P Global and Anthropic represents a strategic evolution in financial data accessibility. By integrating S&P Global's datasets into Claude through Kensho's Model Context Protocol server, the company is effectively expanding its distribution channels while maintaining control of its valuable proprietary data.
The technical implementation is particularly noteworthy. Rather than simply providing APIs, S&P Global has developed a specialized MCP server that allows natural language queries to access sophisticated financial datasets including Capital IQ Financials and earnings call transcripts. This approach addresses a critical friction point in financial analysis workflows where professionals typically need to switch between research platforms and analysis tools.
From a competitive standpoint, this move positions S&P Global advantageously in the rapidly evolving financial data ecosystem. As generative AI becomes increasingly central to financial workflows, data providers who seamlessly integrate with these systems gain significant leverage. The partnership effectively embeds S&P Global's data assets into next-generation financial workflows, potentially increasing customer retention and creating new monetization opportunities.
For Anthropic, the addition of S&P Global's trusted financial data significantly enhances Claude's utility for financial professionals, making it a more compelling alternative to both traditional financial terminals and competing AI assistants. This collaboration demonstrates how specialized domain knowledge (financial data) combined with advanced AI capabilities creates value that neither party could deliver independently.
- New cutting-edge MCP server developed by Kensho, S&P Global's AI Innovation Hub, enables seamless access to S&P Global unrivaled datasets through Claude by Anthropic
- Integration expands how customers, from hedge fund managers to private equity analysts, can access S&P Global's data across the GenAI ecosystem
Financial professionals, from hedge fund managers to private equity and investment banking analysts, need to be able to access crucial financial data wherever their workflows take place. With this cutting-edge integration, customers can unlock S&P Global's trusted data and insights seamlessly and reliably within Anthropic's Claude.
Using Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard developed by Anthropic, Kensho developed an MCP server for its solution the Kensho LLM-ready API, which enables LLMs to access a range of S&P Global's datasets, including S&P Capital IQ Financials, earnings call transcripts, and more. Through natural language, clients can now access the same data they rely upon via S&P Global's Capital IQ Pro platform and flexible data feed delivery options, directly in Claude.
"We are excited to continue to partner with leading AI companies like Anthropic to deliver S&P Global's trusted, relevant data and insights wherever our customers need them," said Bhavesh Dayalji, Chief AI Officer of S&P Global and CEO of Kensho. "S&P Global is committed to meeting our customers where their workflows take place, ensuring they have options and flexibility when it comes to accessing our trusted data across the AI ecosystem."
This collaboration is part of Anthropic's Financial Analysis Solution, which will add tremendous value for customers of S&P Global and Anthropic who can now access S&P Global's trusted insights via the GenAI application, allowing them to efficiently conduct research.
