Connect DailySand to AI tools that support the Model Context Protocol.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that allows AI assistants — Claude, Cursor, and others — to call external tools directly. Instead of pasting content into a chat window, the AI can query DailySand live and pull the current digest into context automatically.
Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant: “What's happening in AI and critical minerals today?” and it will fetch the actual DailySand digest in real time.
DailySandget_latest_digestReturns today's full DailySand digest, structured into sections: The Day's Thesis, AI & Research Frontier, Technology & Infrastructure, Markets & Capital Flows, Critical Minerals & Supply Chain, The Interconnect (causal chains), and Watchlist.
get_digest_by_dateReturns the digest for a specific past date (YYYY-MM-DD format). Useful for historical research on AI or minerals developments.
list_recent_digestsReturns a list of the most recent digest titles and dates, so you can discover what has been covered before fetching a specific one.
Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"dailysand": {
"url": "https://dailysand.com/api/mcp",
"transport": "http"
}
}
}After saving, restart Claude Desktop. DailySand will appear as an available tool.
The MCP server is also accessible as a standard REST JSON API for any HTTP client:
