Omega Point’s MCP Is Now Anthropic Verified in Claude’s Marketplace, Built To Compute

Published

on

By

Reviewed by Anthropic for quality and security, built on investment intelligence trusted for over a decade

NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Omega Point’s MCP has been in production and used by investment teams in Claude since May. Now, Omega Point’s MCP is Anthropic-verified. Every connector in Claude’s marketplace passes an automated check. “Verified” status goes further: Anthropic evaluated Omega Point directly for quality and security before clearing it for Claude, the foundation for a seamless experience inside Claude. 

Most connectors just display what’s already there. Omega Point’s MCP computes the answer from a team’s own positions, their own mandates, their own data, their world, not a generic read on the market. It’s the same engine the world’s largest investors have trusted for over a decade. The result isn’t a report pulled off a shelf. It’s built fresh, from their book, every time.

In practice:

Ask anything, not just what’s on a screen. Factor risk by sector over time for one sleeve, or the names driving 10% of risk and their month-to-date P&L. Claude builds the answer directly from Omega Point’s Intelligence Engine, scoped to what that user is already cleared to see.Test before you trade. Paste a trade list and see the before-and-after risk, exposures, and stress in one pass, or load a full book from a file instead of entering positions one at a time.Numbers that match your risk report. What-ifs, stress tests, and attribution come from the same models and engine behind the firm’s official numbers, not a separate approximation.

Teams can also bring their own research and signals into the same analysis, so everyone is working from one shared source of truth instead of reconciling spreadsheets.

“For years, software made you adopt its worldview just to get an answer. Claude flips that. The analytics and workflows are the same deterministic engine investors have trusted for over a decade, but now they show up inside your own context and conviction. The software adapts to you, not the other way around,” said Omer Cedar, Founder and CEO of Omega Point.

Omega Point is available now, verified, in Claude’s marketplace at https://claude.ai/directory/omega-point.

About Omega Point
Omega Point is the AI-native investment intelligence platform for hedge funds, asset managers, and allocators, turning all your investment data into decisions through institutional risk, performance, thematic, and factor analytics and workflows. Built for every role across the front office.

Published

By

Partnership which marks Mindtrip’s first launch in Europe, brings conversational AI trip planning to the Norwegian Travel Cluster’s “Norway by Locals” platform, connecting travelers with authentic experiences across 150+ municipalities, and thousands of tourism businesses nationwide

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mindtrip, an AI-powered travel platform that empowers people to travel differently, today announced a strategic partnership with the Norwegian Travel Cluster, marking the company’s first destination partnership in Europe and first launch in Scandinavia.

The collaboration will introduce Mindtrip’s travel discovery experience as a core feature of the upcoming “Norway by Locals” website, a national travel planning platform created by Norwegian destination organizations and powered by Mindtrip. A first-of-its-kind initiative uniting all 29 destination organizations within the Norwegian Travel Cluster, the platform combines trusted local knowledge with AI to help travelers turn inspiration into practical, personalized trips. Drawing on content from destination websites and selected local partner listings, Norway by Locals makes it easy for visitors to discover, plan, save, and share journeys across multiple Norwegian destinations.

“AI is transforming how people discover and plan travel, creating new opportunities for destinations to connect travelers with experiences that truly match their interests,” said Andy Moss, Co-founder and CEO of Mindtrip. “The Norwegian Travel Cluster’s decision to bring destination organizations together around a shared vision is a powerful example of how technology can amplify local expertise. Together, we’re helping travelers move from inspiration to action while discovering the diversity of Norway’s regions, communities, and experiences.”

Representing destinations from Lindesnes in the south to Svalbard in the High Arctic, the Norwegian Travel Cluster includes more than 150 municipalities, and thousands of tourism businesses focused on innovation, collaboration, and sustainable destination development. Building on this collective expertise, “Norway by Locals” will deliver personalized itineraries with curated recommendations, visuals, interactive maps, and guidance across accommodations, dining, attractions, transportation, and more. The platform is designed to guide visitors toward relevant local experiences, lesser-known places, and more responsible travel choices while making it easier to explore multiple regions in a single trip. Destination organizations will also help shape the experience by influencing which places, businesses, and themes are highlighted, ensuring recommendations reflect local priorities.

“Travel is evolving, and destinations need new ways to connect travelers with the experiences that matter most to them,” said Kristoffer Paulsen of the Norwegian Travel Cluster. “Norway by Locals is built on a simple idea: local knowledge creates better travel experiences. Together with Mindtrip, we’re making it easier for travelers to discover, plan, save, and share journeys across Norway while strengthening destination organizations, supporting local businesses, and inspiring visitors to explore beyond the familiar.”

The platform will also provide participating destination organizations with aggregated insights into what travelers are searching for, which places and experiences they explore, and what inspires them to take action. These insights will help inform destination development and future marketing efforts. Together, Norway by Locals creates a shared national entry point for travel planning that benefits visitors, local businesses, and destinations across Norway.

The partnership builds on Mindtrip’s expanding work with destination organizations worldwide that are adopting AI-powered travel discovery to better inspire and serve travelers. Current partners include national tourism organizations such as Brand USA, The Bahamas, Peru, and Visit Costa Rica; U.S. territories including Discover Puerto Rico; state tourism organizations such as Visit California, Travel Wyoming, and Travel Nevada; regional destinations including the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau and See Monterey; and city destinations including Visit Orlando, Visit Anaheim, New Orleans & Company, and Visit Truckee-Tahoe.
