Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange has launched live market data via AI tools.
On Thursday, 13 August 2026 the exchange announced that it will feed official market information to conversational AI platforms, including ChatGPT and Claude. The move makes ADX the first exchange in the MENA region to provide investors, institutions, developers and other market participants with live data that can be queried in plain language. By bypassing specialist terminals, complex APIs and other technical hurdles, the service aims to broaden financial awareness and participation across Abu Dhabi and the wider United Arab Emirates.
AI‑driven data delivery through the Model Context Protocol
The new channel runs on a governed Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which delivers secure, on‑demand access to critical market datasets for AI assistants and agentic workflows. Users can configure their AI applications to read official ADX data sources through a simple, standardized protocol. Four usage plans are available, ranging from a free tier to a paid option priced at AED 49.99 per month, each with clear limits on refresh frequency, historical depth and concurrent connections.
Through the integration, users can retrieve per‑symbol market depth, bid‑ask spreads and price‑discovery signals, as well as multiple trading statistics such as retail versus institutional and foreign versus local flows. The service also supplies structured, machine‑readable XBRL financial disclosures and comprehensive index constituents, giving a full picture of market activity in real time.
Benefits for a broad spectrum of market participants
The offering is designed for fintech developers, research firms, brokers, institutional investors and retail traders alike. Fintech teams can build customized analytics and AI‑driven insights, while brokers may create proprietary white‑label AI trading assistants to boost active‑trader engagement. Institutional investors gain low‑latency, source‑grade order‑book visibility, and retail investors can ask natural‑language questions to retrieve complex, real‑time market intelligence through the AI platforms they already use.
AI is rapidly enabling how investors discover, analyze and act on information. As the first exchange in the MENA region to connect directly with AI models, we are redefining how the financial community can take advantage of our market data.
