# ZenBot Stock Scanner > ZenBot is a real-time US stock scanner for day and swing traders, built around relative strength against SPY and the stock's sector, relative volume, gaps, VWAP and options walls. It has 89 built-in scans, a filter builder for custom scans, fast charts, scan alerts (in the app, on Telegram and on Discord) and Ask Zen, an assistant that explains charts and builds scans from a description. The scanner is free on 15-minute delayed data; ZenBot Turbo ($25 a month, 14-day free trial) adds real-time data, real-time alerts and Connect AI. ZenBot describes what the market and each stock are doing; it does not give buy or sell advice. ## Connect AI (MCP server) ZenBot runs a remote MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and other MCP clients can use the scanner as a tool. - Server: https://www.zenbotscanner.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP) - Claude: listed in Claude's connector directory, https://claude.ai/directory/zenbot-stock-scanner (click Connect, sign in with a ZenBot account) - Sign-in: OAuth 2.1 through login.zenbotscanner.com with the public client ID qaDxACfEJgMY8zhPLW59XgZxb93uRWhE (custom connectors in ChatGPT and elsewhere), or a connector key as `Authorization: Bearer zb_mcp_...` for scripts and CLI tools - MCP Registry: com.zenbotscanner/zenbot (https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/?q=zenbot) - Requires a ZenBot Turbo account - Tools: list_scans, get_scan_results, get_ticker, why_on_scan, search_filters, run_scan, get_market, get_calendar, get_chart, save_scan, create_alert - Limits: 60 calls a minute, 2,000 a day; results stop at 25 rows; no raw price bars or bulk data ## Pages - [AI stock scanner for Claude and ChatGPT](https://www.zenbotscanner.com/ai-stock-scanner): what the MCP connection does, example questions, tools, setup, pricing - [Connect your AI, setup guide](https://guide.zenscans.com/guide/connect-your-ai/): step-by-step for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and keys - [Home](https://www.zenbotscanner.com/): the scanner and its features - [All scans](https://www.zenbotscanner.com/scans/): every built-in scan with what it finds and the stocks on it now - [Trading strategies](https://www.zenbotscanner.com/how-to-trade): scans for eight trading approaches - [User guide](https://guide.zenscans.com/guide/): how every screen, scan, filter and chart works - [ZenBot Turbo](https://www.zenbotscanner.com/turbo): plans and what Turbo adds ## Optional - [What's New](https://guide.zenscans.com/new/): release notes - [Terms](https://www.zenbotscanner.com/terms.html)
