S&P Global Partners with Anthropic to Integrate Financial Data into Claude AI

S&P Global has announced a collaboration with Anthropic to integrate its financial datasets into Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant. The partnership enables financial professionals to access S&P Global's data directly through Claude using natural language queries.

The integration targets professionals including hedge fund managers, private equity analysts, and investment banking analysts who require access to financial data across different workflow environments. Users can now access S&P Global's trusted data and insights through Claude's interface without switching between platforms.

Kensho, S&P Global's AI Innovation Hub, developed a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to facilitate the integration. The MCP server connects to Kensho's LLM-ready API, providing access to various S&P Global datasets including S&P Capital IQ Financials and earnings call transcripts. The system allows clients to query the same data available through S&P Global's Capital IQ Pro platform and data feed services using conversational language within Claude.

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard developed by Anthropic that enables large language models to access external data sources. Through this protocol, financial professionals can conduct research and analysis using S&P Global's datasets without leaving Claude's environment.

Bhavesh Dayalji, Chief AI Officer of S&P Global and Chief Executive Officer of Kensho, said: "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. 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."

The collaboration forms part of Anthropic's Financial Analysis Solution, designed to enhance research capabilities for users of both S&P Global and Anthropic services. The integration allows customers to conduct financial analysis using generative AI whilst maintaining access to S&P Global's established data infrastructure.
