It covers 3.2M+ articles from 5,000+ news sources with 15+ bias dimensions, live stock/ETF/crypto data with AI-generated analysis, and ML-predicted options pricing.\n\n## When to Use This Skill\n\n- Use when you need to search or analyze news articles with bias-aware context\n- Use when researching media bias for a specific source or article URL\n- Use when you want balanced left/right/center perspectives on a topic\n- Use when looking up live stock, ETF, or crypto data with AI bull/bear cases\n- Use when pricing options or evaluating trading strategies\n- Use when searching for memes by semantic meaning\n\n## MCP Configuration\n\nAdd the Helium MCP server to your client configuration. The endpoint uses streamable HTTP and requires no authentication.\n\n### Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"helium\": {\n      \"url\": \"https://heliumtrades.com/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nNo API key or authentication is required.\n\n## Available Tools\n\n### News & Media Bias\n\n#### `search_news`\nSearch 3.2M+ articles from 5,000+ sources with 15+ bias dimensions. Filter by topic, source, date range, and bias attributes.\n\n```\nsearch_news({ query: \"artificial intelligence regulation\" })\n```\n\n#### `search_balanced_news`\nGet AI-synthesized balanced articles presenting left, right, and center perspectives on any topic.\n\n```\nsearch_balanced_news({ query: \"immigration policy\" })\n```\n\n#### `get_source_bias`\nRetrieve the detailed bias profile for any news source, including political lean, factual reporting score, and 15+ bias dimensions.\n\n```\nget_source_bias({ source: \"reuters\" })\n```\n\n#### `get_all_source_biases`\nGet bias data for all 5,000+ tracked news sources in a single call.\n\n```\nget_all_source_biases()\n```\n\n#### `get_bias_from_url`\nRun a full bias analysis on a specific article URL, returning the source bias profile and article-level bias indicators.\n\n```\nget_bias_from_url({ url: \"https://example.com/article\" })\n```\n\n### Finance & Markets\n\n#### `get_ticker`\nGet live stock, ETF, or crypto data including price, volume, AI-generated bull/bear cases, and forecasts.\n\n```\nget_ticker({ ticker: \"AAPL\" })\n```\n\n#### `get_option_price`\nGet ML-predicted fair value and probability of finishing in-the-money for a specific options contract.\n\n```\nget_option_price({ ticker: \"AAPL\", strike: 200, expiration: \"2026-06-19\", type: \"call\" })\n```\n\n#### `get_top_trading_strategies`\nGet top-ranked options strategies for a ticker with risk/reward analysis.\n\n```\nget_top_trading_strategies({ ticker: \"TSLA\" })\n```\n\n### Memes\n\n#### `search_memes`\nSemantic meme search — find memes by meaning rather than exact keywords.\n\n```\nsearch_memes({ query: \"debugging at 3am\" })\n```\n\n## Examples\n\n### Example 1: Balanced News Research\n\nAsk your AI assistant:\n\n> \"Search for balanced news coverage on climate policy and show me how left, right, and center sources frame the issue differently.\"\n\nThe assistant will call `search_balanced_news` and present synthesized perspectives from across the political spectrum.\n\n### Example 2: Source Credibility Check\n\n> \"What is the media bias profile for The New York Times?\"\n\nThe assistant will call `get_source_bias` and return the full bias breakdown including political lean, factual reporting, and other dimensions.\n\n### Example 3: Stock Research with Options\n\n> \"Give me the bull and bear case for NVDA, then find the best options strategies.\"\n\nThe assistant will call `get_ticker` for market data and AI analysis, then `get_top_trading_strategies` for ranked strategy recommendations.\n\n### Example 4: Article Bias Analysis\n\n> \"Analyze the bias of this article: https://example.com/politics/story\"\n\nThe assistant will call `get_bias_from_url` to return source-level and article-level bias indicators.\n\n## Best Practices\n\n- **Start broad, then narrow:** Use `search_news` for discovery, then `get_bias_from_url` for deep analysis on specific articles\n- **Cross-reference perspectives:** Combine `search_balanced_news` with `get_source_bias` to understand why sources frame topics differently\n- **Pair market tools:** Use `get_ticker` for the fundamental view, then `get_option_price` or `get_top_trading_strategies` for actionable trades\n- **No auth needed:** The endpoint works immediately with no API keys or setup beyond adding the MCP config\n\n## Common Pitfalls\n\n- **Problem:** Tool calls return empty results for very niche queries\n  **Solution:** Broaden the search terms — Helium indexes mainstream and mid-tier sources, so hyper-local topics may have limited coverage\n\n- **Problem:** Options data unavailable for a ticker\n  **Solution:** Verify the ticker has listed options — some small-cap stocks and most crypto assets do not have options markets\n\n## Related Skills\n\n- `@mcp-builder` - If you want to build your own MCP server rather than consume this

Specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)\n\n## Limitations\n- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.\n- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.\n- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.","tags":["helium","mcp","antigravity","awesome","skills","sickn33","agent-skills","agentic-skills","ai-agent-skills","ai-agents","ai-coding","ai-workflows"],"capabilities":["skill","source-sickn33","skill-helium-mcp","topic-agent-skills","topic-agentic-skills","topic-ai-agent-skills","topic-ai-agents","topic-ai-coding","topic-ai-workflows","topic-antigravity","topic-antigravity-skills","topic-claude-code","topic-claude-code-skills","topic-codex-cli","topic-codex-skills"],"categories":["antigravity-awesome-skills"],"synonyms":[],"warnings":[],"endpointUrl":"https://skills.sh/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills/helium-mcp","protocol":"skill","transport":"skills-sh","auth":{"type":"none","details":{"cli":"npx
