S&P Global and Anthropic announce collaboration to bring trusted financial data into Claude
S&P Global and Anthropic are connecting the Kensho LLM-ready API to Claude, giving financial professionals direct access to trusted S&P Global data inside their AI models.
We’re excited to announce a collaboration with Anthropic to bring S&P Global’s trusted financial data into Claude by Anthropic. This integration enables financial professionals to answer complex financial questions and get fast, reliable answers grounded in trusted data from S&P Global via Claude.
Financial professionals, from hedge fund managers to private equity and investment banking analysts, need to be able to access crucial financial data wherever their workflows take place. With this cutting-edge integration, customers can unlock S&P Global’s trusted data and insights seamlessly and reliably within Anthropic’s Claude.
Using Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard developed by Anthropic, Kensho developed an MCP server integrating the Kensho LLM-ready API into Anthopic’s new Claude for Financial Services Solution.
The Kensho LLM-ready API enables LLMs to access a range of S&P Global’s datasets, including S&P Capital IQ Financials, earnings call transcripts, and more. Through natural language, clients can now access the same data they rely upon via S&P Global’s Capital IQ Pro platform and flexible data feed delivery options, directly in Claude.
Unlike typical APIs, the Kensho LLM-ready API is optimized for LLMs by offering a simplified structure that supports function calling patterns, and comes with a Python library that streamlines everything from authentication to LLM integration. Designed for professionals such as investment bankers, equity analysts, consultants, and other data-driven roles, this LLM-ready API supports efficient retrieval of financial data, including financial statement line items, security identifiers, and company information — ideal for creating pitch books, research reports, and market positioning presentations.
“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,” said Bhavesh Dayalji, Chief AI Officer of S&P Global and CEO of Kensho. “S&P Global is committed to meeting our customers wherever their workflows take place, ensuring they have options and flexibility when it comes to accessing our trusted data across the AI ecosystem.”
This collaboration is part of Anthropic’s Financial Analysis Solution, which will add tremendous value for customers of S&P Global and Anthropic who can now access S&P Global’s trusted insights via the GenAI application, allowing them to efficiently conduct research.
