Setup

Connect Claude in four steps

You need an ALT/FNDATA API key to sign in. The connector is hosted, so there is nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Get your ALT/FNDATA API key

    Open the app at API Key & MCP, go to API Key & MCP, and copy your key. The connector runs on this key.

  2. 2

    Open the connector settings

    In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.

  3. 3

    Add the hosted connector

    Paste the connector URL https://mcp.altfndata.com/mcp and save. When Claude asks how to authenticate, choose OAuth.

  4. 4

    Sign in and confirm

    On the ALT/FNDATA sign-in page, enter your API key. Then ask Claude an auction-price question to confirm the tools are live.

Try it

Ask in plain language

Once connected, ask Claude questions like these. It picks the right tool and returns realized prices with sources.

  • What did a Hermès Birkin 30 sell for in 2024?
  • Price-check a Rolex Daytona 116500LN.
  • Market stats for Patek Philippe watches.
  • How have classic Ferrari values moved year by year?
  • Search the whole market for a Burma ruby ring over $50,000.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does this work in the Claude desktop app and on the web?
Yes. The hosted connector works anywhere Claude offers custom connectors. Developers who prefer a local server can use the developer tools route instead.
Do I need a paid plan to use the connector?
Yes. The connector runs on your ALT/FNDATA API key. Get your key in the app at API Key & MCP, choose OAuth when you connect, and sign in with it.
Can the connector change or delete my data?
No. All nine tools are read-only. The connector queries auction data and returns it; it never writes, edits or deletes anything.
What data does it cover?
Realized auction prices across 20 collectible categories, from watches and jewelry to fine art, wine and classic cars, drawn from 100+ auction houses worldwide and normalized to USD.
Are these realized prices or asking prices?
Realized. Every figure is what an item actually sold for at auction, normalized to USD. Unsold lots are tracked separately, and every result links back to its source.
The menu names in my app look different. What do I do?
Assistants rename and move these settings as they roll features out. The connector URL (https://mcp.altfndata.com/mcp) and the OAuth sign-in stay the same; check the assistant's help pages if a step reads differently.
