# Aim - full reference for LLMs and agents

> Aim is a market-intelligence layer for you and your AI agents. Think Bloomberg Terminal, but for your competitors, the people shaping your market, and your prospects. Aim is delivered as a hosted, read-only MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so any MCP-aware agent can pull cited, curated market context on demand.

## What Aim is

Aim continuously curates high-signal sources - partner and founder posts, podcasts, keynote and earnings-call transcripts, filings, and niche trade press - into per-topic "spaces". Each space is a living, deduplicated, cited feed of what is actually being said in a market, rather than the press paraphrase about it. Your agent queries those spaces over MCP and gets back sourced, recent, on-topic context it can reason over.

## How it works

- Aim runs a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.startaiming.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP transport, OAuth).
- You add that endpoint to any MCP-aware client. On the first tool call a browser window opens; you sign in to Aim (sign-up is free, no credit card) and approve read-only access.
- The server is read-only: its tools search and return market context. It cannot modify your data or take actions.
- One Aim login works across every client you connect and auto-joins you to all public spaces.

## Install

### Claude.ai (one click)
Open https://startaiming.com/install and click "Add to Claude". It opens Claude.ai with the connector pre-filled; click Add, then Connect, then sign in and Allow.

### Claude Code (terminal)
```
claude mcp add --transport http aim https://mcp.startaiming.com/mcp
```

### Codex (terminal)
```
codex mcp add aim --url https://mcp.startaiming.com/mcp
```
Or just tell Codex: "Add the Aim MCP server: https://mcp.startaiming.com/mcp".

### Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients
Add https://mcp.startaiming.com/mcp wherever the client takes a custom MCP server / connector URL. Equivalent JSON config:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aim": {
      "url": "https://mcp.startaiming.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### If you are an AI agent reading this
Add the MCP server at https://mcp.startaiming.com/mcp and complete the OAuth sign-in your client surfaces, then call Aim's tools to answer the user's market, competitor, and prospect questions.

## Public spaces (free)

These are open to everyone once you connect. Each also runs as a live demo on the homepage - the links below open it in the "Ask Aim" overlay.
