Questions

What does Pressure measure?

The state of the global macro field, once a day. Each UTC day gets one reading on a five-word scale: expansion, loosening, neutral, tightening, or compression.

Are these predictions?

No. Pressure Atlas measures conditions. It makes no predictions and no recommendations.

How fresh is the data?

It's daily. A reading is final once its UTC day closes; until then, today counts as partial. get_latest_pressure always points at the newest closed day.

How do I connect?

Create a free account and you have programmatic access, over MCP and over plain HTTPS through the REST v1 API. In Claude or ChatGPT, add the MCP endpoint as a connector and sign in when it asks. For everything else, create an API key in the app; one key works for both, so curl and cron jobs are fine too. The RSS feed carries the last five readings and needs no account at all. Exact steps live on the docs page.

Which clients work?

Anything that speaks MCP over streamable HTTP: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and most agent frameworks.

What does the free plan include?

The last 5 days of readings, 200 tool calls a day, and a view of the whole catalog. Pressure Atlas Pro raises that to 30 days, 10,000 calls a day, and adds CSV export.

Can I put it on a wall display?

Yes, and it's a good look. Open https://dev.pressureatlas.com/?display=1 to strip the chrome away: just the fabric, today's reading, and the recent log. It refreshes on its own and keeps the screen awake. Made for a spare monitor or the TV nobody uses.
