Valona Intelligence Launches MCP Server to Bring Trusted Market Intelligence into the Enterprise AI Ecosystem
Valona Intelligence has launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which provides enterprise AI with a structured foundation that integrates real-time market analysis and quantitative financial data. This allows organizations to build upon existing data rather than recreate it. The MCP server enables AI systems to connect to external data sources, making Valona's market and competitive intelligence accessible through tools such as Microsoft Copilot and other enterprise AI frameworks.
According to McKinsey's 2026 research, nearly nine in ten organizations utilize AI in their operations, though most rely on similar models to enhance productivity. The competitive advantage now stems from the quality of data provided to AI systems.
"The competitive advantage does not come from having AI. It comes from what the AI has to work with," said Stuart Reynish, Chief Product Officer at Valona. He emphasized that the MCP server allows enterprise AI direct access to continuously updated market and competitive analysis, reducing the need to regenerate the same insights repeatedly, which can be costly and inconsistent.
As strategic decision-making evolves from periodic research cycles to a model of always-on intelligence, Valona's MCP server provides AI agents with ongoing access to curated and maintained analysis. This ensures that the information is readily available when needed.
"We have spent two decades building the intelligence layer, which is the hardest part to get right. MCP is how we make it available across the enterprise AI tools our customers already use, and as part of broader AI ecosystems they are developing," said Eetu Laaksonen, Chief AI Officer at Valona. He noted a growing demand for organization-wide intelligence, which is increasingly being prioritized by IT and senior leadership.
A select group of enterprise customers are currently piloting the Valona MCP server in Copilot and agent-based environments, with a demonstration scheduled for June 24 during the webinar titled "What Agentic AI Means for Competitive Intelligence."
