Perplexity

Access Live Market Context via MCP Server

When you're coding a financial model, don't use stubs. Use the `get_trade` tool to inject live goods trade data directly into your code block. The AI generates working Python that uses real API responses. It pulls UK imports and exports by commodity and country, letting you write accurate code based on actual economic figures.

Model Business Growth with Cursor

Need to scope out a new market? Let the agent call `get_business_counts`. The AI pulls UK business counts by industry and geography, feeding that live context into your code. You write against real IDBR data. This means you're not testing theory; you're building against current economic reality.

Integrate Traffic Indicators Into Code

Sometimes the best indicator is physical movement. Use `get_traffic_activity` to pull experimental data on UK traffic camera activity. The AI then includes this real-time metric in your development code. This capability lets you model economic impact using non-traditional, highly relevant data sources.
