Enterprise-ready by design
For IT administrators evaluating approval. The connector is read-only, per-user, and operates with no access to your organization's data.
Authentication
The connector uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (S256) over HTTPS. Only the authorization_code grant is supported — every user completes an individual sign-in with their own Nextatlas credentials. No machine-to-machine access is possible. Tokens can be revoked at any time via the revocation endpoint or by disconnecting the connector in Claude settings.
Scope of access
Every tool is annotated readOnlyHint. The connector exposes no write, delete, or side-effecting operations. Claude can only query data the authenticated user's Nextatlas account is entitled to see — it does not broaden access beyond the user's existing subscription.
Data handling
Queries contain only the parameters needed to answer the question (e.g. a search term, an industry filter). The connector returns trend data from the Nextatlas dataset and does not persist conversation content. Data in transit is encrypted (TLS; HSTS enabled).
Infrastructure
The server is hosted at mcp.nextatlas.com and operated by iCoolhunt S.p.A. (Nextatlas), Turin, Italy. Connections from Claude originate from Anthropic's cloud infrastructure.
Privacy policy
nextatlas.com/legal/privacyBuilt on a decade of early-adopter observation
Nextatlas continuously analyzes the public activity of a curated global network of 300K+ early adopters and innovators — the people who anticipate mainstream behavior.
Signals are enriched with proprietary classification across industries, need states, occasions, demographics, and geographies, then validated against a decade of historical outcomes.
This is what allows Nextatlas to detect trends before they have a name, with measurable lead time over public search and social data.
How teams use it
"What emerging ingredients are gaining momentum in skincare? Profile the audience for the top three."
"We're pitching a client in the pet food category. What signals should we know about, and how have they evolved over the last two years?"
"Is 'sleep tourism' still growing or has it peaked? Show me the timeline and who's driving it."
"What music genres co-occur with the rise of matcha culture?"
