A stock scanner inside Claude and ChatGPT.
ZenBot connects to your AI as an MCP server. Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP-capable agent about your scans, a ticker or a chart, and it answers from ZenBot's live scanner data: relative strength against SPY, relative volume, gaps, options walls, the scans each stock is on and why.
Two-minute setup: add a connector, sign in. Part of ZenBot Turbo, $25 a month with a 14-day free trial.
What it looks like
An example of the kind of answer you get. Your AI writes the words; ZenBot supplies the data.
What you can ask
Your scans
"What's on my momentum scan?" "Which of my scans has the most stocks right now?"
Any stock
"How is NVDA doing against its sector?" "Is AMD on any long scans today?"
Charts
"Read the TSLA daily chart. Where are the key levels?" Your AI gets the chart image and the numbers.
Why a stock is on a scan
"Why did PLTR drop off my swing scan?" Every rule, checked against the stock.
Build and save scans
"Find large caps pulling back to VWAP on 2x volume, and save it." A real ZenBot scan in your account.
The market and calendar
"Which sectors lead today?" "What's on the calendar before the open?"

Ask Zen's shortcuts, in your AI
ZenBot also adds one-click shortcuts that run a task the way ZenBot's own assistant, Ask Zen, does, with its rules built in. In Claude they sit under the + menu once ZenBot is connected.
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| explain_chart | Explain a chart: the bigger trend, what this timeframe is doing, key levels, what confirms or breaks the setup, volume. |
| check_stock | How is a stock doing: the move, volume, strength vs SPY and its sector, levels, scans, news. |
| whats_interesting | What's interesting right now: movers on real volume, leading and lagging sectors, the indexes. |
| plan_tomorrow | Plan tomorrow's session: how today closed, the calendar before the open, the scans to have open at 9:30. |
| build_scan | Build a scan from a description, show the funnel, and save it if you say so. |
| why_on_scan | Why a stock is on, or off, one of your scans, rule by rule. |
| zen | Zen's rules for any ZenBot question: describe from the numbers, say how fresh they are, never advise. |
The ZenBot user guide comes along as resources, so your AI can answer how-to questions about the app from the guide itself.
Pricing
The scanner itself is free on 15-minute delayed data. Your AI's own usage is covered by your Claude or ChatGPT plan; ZenBot charges nothing extra.
Questions
What is an MCP server?
The Model Context Protocol is the standard way AI apps connect to outside tools and data. ZenBot runs an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps can call it to read scans, stocks and charts.
Does it cost extra on top of my Claude or ChatGPT plan?
No. Connect AI is part of ZenBot Turbo, and your AI app's plan covers its own side.
Does ZenBot give buy or sell signals?
No. ZenBot describes what the market and each stock are doing. Decisions stay yours.
Is the data real-time?
Yes. With Turbo, scans, prices and charts are live during the session, including premarket and after hours.
Can I use it the way I use Ask Zen?
Yes. The shortcuts run Ask Zen's chart reads, stock checks, market reads, plans and scan building on your own AI, with Zen's rules, and with no daily question limit beyond the connection's 2,000 calls a day.
Can it change my account?
Only two tools write: saving a scan and turning a scan's alerts on or off. Your AI asks before using them, and you can disconnect at any time.
Is there a raw price-data feed?
No. The connection is for scans and the scanner's read of each stock, not bulk historical bars.
