MCP servers
MCP server for central bank speeches & communication
Policy is signaled in speeches long before it appears in a statement, and speeches are scattered across dozens of institutional websites in formats that range from clean HTML to scanned PDFs. Tracking one official's evolving language across a year is a manual archaeology project.
This server makes speeches queryable as structured objects: speaker, role, institution, venue and delivery timestamp, with the text chunked for retrieval. An agent can ask what a particular official has said about a topic over a period and receive the passages, or compare how two officials at the same bank framed the same issue in the same month.
Because delivery timestamps are preserved, a question about what the market had heard by a given date is answerable without accidentally including a speech given the following week — the kind of leakage that makes narrative research quietly useless.

Questions
Does it classify speeches as hawkish or dovish?
It returns the text and the metadata; scoring is left to the caller. A one-dimensional label discards the reasoning that makes a speech informative, and different desks score tone differently on purpose.
Are non-English speeches included?
Yes, with the original preserved. Translation loses hedging, and hedging is often the entire signal in a central bank speech.
