Frequently Asked Questions
What is an MCP server and why do I need one? ▾
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude and Cursor securely call external tools and data sources. By connecting Helium, your AI can instantly search real-time news, check media bias, analyze stocks, and find memes — without you needing to copy-paste anything.
What counts as a "query"? ▾
Each successful tool call that returns results counts as one query — whether it's a news search, ticker lookup, bias analysis, or meme search. Failed requests and empty results are not billed.
How does "50 free queries" work? ▾
The first 50 queries from your network's IP subnet (/24) are completely free — no credit card, no sign-up required. Just point your MCP client at https://heliumtrades.com/mcp and start querying. After 50, you'll need an API key.
How much does it cost after the free tier? ▾
$0.02 per query, billed daily via Stripe. There's no monthly minimum — if you use 100 queries in a month, you pay $2. Usage is tracked in real-time and you receive a daily invoice.
What makes Helium's news data unique? ▾
Helium tracks 5000+ sources and scores every article across 15+ bias dimensions — political lean, emotionality, manipulativeness, factfulness, and more. The balanced news tool aggregates left and right perspectives into a single coherent story. No other MCP server offers this depth of media intelligence.
Can I use this for stock trading or financial research? ▾
Absolutely. The get_ticker tool exposes Helium's AI-generated bull/bear cases, price forecasts, IV rank, and top option strategies. The get_option_price tool provides real-time options pricing for any symbol. Many quant traders use Helium to give their AI tools live market context.
Where is my API key stored and is it secure? ▾
Your API key is stored securely in our database. Treat it like a password — don't commit it to public repos. If your key is compromised, contact us at contact@heliumtrades.com and we'll rotate it immediately.
How do I cancel my subscription? ▾
Visit the Stripe customer portal to cancel anytime. No cancellation fees, no nonsense. If you have trouble, email contact@heliumtrades.com and we'll handle it immediately.
