Gnist Context

One MCP endpoint. 126+ public data sources. Zero integration work.
Every Context Your Agent NeedsReal-time data for AI agents

Gnist Context is a real-time data API that gives your AI agent access to 126+ public data sources through a single MCP endpoint. Finance, science, government, healthcare, transport, weather — all queryable, all structured, all ready to use.

No ETL pipelines. No scraping infrastructure. No juggling dozens of API keys. Connect once and let your agent pull the real-world context it needs, when it needs it.

Every data source is public, legally clean, and agent-safe — no PII, no consent frameworks, no irreversible side effects. Available via both MCP and REST, so it works with any stack.

Photorealistic interior of a 1960s executive office looking through a floor-to-ceiling glass partition into a pristine white neo-futuristic server hall. Foreground: polished dark walnut desk edge with brass drawer pulls, green-shaded banker's lamp casting warm amber light, crystal tumbler on a leather blotter. Through the glass: rows of seamless matte-white server columns edge-lit by thin cyan LED strips stretching into deep perspective, translucent holographic panels floating between them displaying a globe with blue connection arcs and cascading green JSON data. Dramatic warm-to-cool color temperature split at the glass plane. 35mm lens, f/5.6, deep focus, cinematic grading, subtle film grain.
Trusted Public Data, Ready to QueryFrom SEC filings to Norwegian court decisions

Gnist Context covers the data sources that agents actually need in production:

  • Finance — Federal Reserve (FRED), SEC EDGAR, IMF, ECB, stock data, crypto, currency conversion
  • Science & Research — arXiv, PubMed, Crossref, OpenAlex, clinical trials, PubChem
  • Government & Legal — US Congress, EU regulations, sanctions lists, patents, company registries
  • Healthcare — OpenFDA, drug databases, hospital directories, nutrition data
  • Geography & Environment — Weather, air quality, earthquakes, GeoNames, OpenStreetMap
  • Nordic Specialty — Norwegian company registry, parliament, courts, public records, electricity prices, transit

New servers are added regularly. Each one passes strict quality gates for reliability, agent safety, and data provenance.

Photorealistic mid-century executive library with floor-to-ceiling dark walnut shelving and brass brackets. Instead of books, the shelves hold upright frosted glass data cards in labeled sections with engraved brass plaques: Finance, Science, Government, Healthcare, Nordic. Each card glows faintly in its category color. Rolling brass library ladder on the left. Walnut reading table with open leather portfolio in the foreground. A translucent holographic network graph hovers subtly above the table with thin cyan lines. Coffered ceiling, brass pendant light, tall window with snow-dusted Norwegian birch trees. 28mm lens, f/4, warm tones with subtle cool data-glow accents.

Photorealistic three-quarter overhead shot of a 1960s executive desk with tapered walnut legs and brushed brass accents. Monitor on a brass arm showing dark-mode Python code editor with a JSON response panel and green 200 OK badge. On the desk: mechanical keyboard with walnut wrist rest, ceramic coffee cup on brass saucer, open notebook with hand-drawn API diagrams, brass desk lamp. Through a half-open wooden door behind the desk, a bright white futuristic corridor with cyan LED baseboard is barely visible. Warm taupe walls, framed Norwegian fjord photo, afternoon sunlight. 40mm lens, f/3.5, warm grading, gentle background bokeh.
Built for ProductionReliable data infrastructure you can depend on

Gnist Context is designed to be the data layer you trust in production, not just a prototype toy:

  • Health Monitoring — Automated shallow and deep canary probes catch upstream failures before your agent does
  • Smart Caching — Response caching with freshness tiers tuned per data source, from real-time to archival
  • Usage Dashboards — Real-time visibility into your API consumption
  • Uptime Tracking — Per-server uptime history and SLA monitoring
  • Composite Tools — Multi-source queries in a single call for lower latency
  • Entity Resolution — Resolve names to canonical identifiers across all relevant servers
Photorealistic wide-angle shot through open walnut double doors with brass handles into a pristine white operations center. Warm walnut door frame with brass sconce contrasts the cool room beyond. Curved 3x3 display wall showing a world map with green endpoint markers and cyan arcs, server health cards with green indicators, a 30-day uptime graph at 99.9 percent, and a blue-to-amber response-time heatmap. White resin walls, grey epoxy floor reflecting screen glow. Single unoccupied ergonomic chair centered, slightly turned. No clutter, no cables. Dramatic warm-to-cool threshold, Westworld lab revealed through a Mad Men door. 24mm lens, f/5.6, deep focus, cinematic grading, fine grain.
