CEOInterviews MCP

Give your AI agent the world's largest verified database of executive interviews.

20,000+ executives · 1,000,000+ quotes · full transcripts · 4 MCP tools · 30-second install

Why this exists

Ask any AI agent "what has Jensen Huang said about AI infrastructure?" and you'll get hallucinated quotes, misattributed soundbites, and links to SEO-spam blogs. The web is full of fake CEO quotes — and LLMs eat them all.

CEOInterviews fixes this. Every transcript is AI- and human-verified to the original primary source: the actual interview, podcast, earnings call, or press conference. No fabrications. No misattributions. No "as an AI language model, here's a plausible-sounding quote."

❌ Other "executive quote" datasets	✅ CEOInterviews

Unverified blog repost · No source URL · Misattributed quotes	AI + human verified · Original primary source · Speaker-authenticated

This MCP server exposes that database to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible agent — through 4 simple tools. Connect it once and your agent gains a research analyst with a perfect memory of what every CEO, CFO, central banker, and AI founder has actually said on the record.

30-second install

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user ceointerviews https://ceointerviews.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

The "aha" moment

Open your agent and ask any of these out loud:

	"What has Jensen Huang said about AI infrastructure spending in the last 6 months?" The agent calls `get_transcripts(entity_name="Jensen Huang", keyword="AI infrastructure", filter_after_dt="...")` and pulls back the actual NVIDIA earnings call transcripts and TIME interview, with source URLs and timestamps.
	"Summarize Sam Altman's recent comments on Stargate and the $500B AI infra build-out." Pulls Bloomberg interviews, OpenAI press conferences, and podcast appearances. Every claim is sourced — no hallucinations.
	"What did Jerome Powell say about inflation and tariffs at the ECB forum?" Hits `search_quotes(entity_name="Jerome Powell", keyword="inflation tariffs", is_financial_policy=true)`. Returns the verified soundbites with the FOMC press conference URL.
	"Find controversial statements from Elon Musk about tariffs." `search_quotes(entity_name="Elon Musk", keyword="tariffs", is_controversial=true)`. Speaker-verified, primary source.

This is what every "research GPT" promises and almost none deliver. The data layer has to actually exist — and be clean — first.

Here's what a real Claude Code session looks like once you've connected the MCP server. The user asks a single question — Claude discovers the tools, chains two calls, and answers from verified primary sources with citations.

❯ What has Jensen Huang said recently about AI infrastructure
  spending? Cite the actual interviews.

⏺ ceointerviews - get_transcripts (MCP)
  entity_name: "Jensen Huang", keyword: "infrastructure spending",
  filter_after_dt: "2026-01-01"
  ⎿  4 transcripts returned

⏺ Across four interviews from Feb–Mar 2026, Huang's thesis is that
  AI CapEx isn't a bubble — it's a substitution of existing IT spend
  into a more productive form, with the real expansion still ahead.


▸ Morgan Stanley TMT Conference _{— Mar 18, 2026}

    "The entire internet industry could take 100% of their CapEx
    and make it AI because it's better — we've proven it to be
    better."

    "Trillions of dollars… that's exactly where all this is
    going to come from."

    ↳ youtube.com/watch?v=xv7UVAfyebk


▸ CNBC Squawk Pod _{— Feb 26, 2026}

    "They're supposed to come up with a combined $670 billion
    to build out just their AI infrastructure."

    ↳ youtube.com/watch?v=poS_PlIIx1c


▸ The AI Factory keynote _{— Feb 6, 2026}

    "The IT industry is about a trillion dollars… yet the
    economy of the world is about a hundred trillion dollars."

    Today's IT spend is the floor, not the ceiling.

Every quote above is pulled from a verified primary-source
transcript — the LLM has access to the full transcript,
appearance_date, and rich metadata produced by our team.
No web scraping, no hallucinations.

Without the MCP server, that same question gets you plausible-sounding paraphrases with no sources — or worse, fabricated quotes stitched together from training data. With it, every claim is anchored to a verified transcript.

Self-hosting (optional)

Most users should connect directly to the hosted server at https://ceointerviews.ai/mcp. Self-hosting only buys you the ability to run the MCP transport on your own infra — you'll still need a valid API key to call the upstream CEOInterviews REST API.
