LSEG has announced a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector for ChatGPT users and enterprise customers of OpenAI, alongside initial plans to make ChatGPT Enterprise available to its employees.
Through the connector, ChatGPT users with LSEG-licensed credentials will be able to access financial data and news from LSEG products such as Workspace and Financial Analytics directly within the ChatGPT app.
This will allow users to analyse market data and news content for more informed insights.
The rollout will begin with LSEG Financial Analytics, with additional data categories and functionality to follow.
Emily Prince, Group Head of AI at LSEG, said:
“LSEG’s connector within ChatGPT combines all the benefits of a secure, enterprise AI platform with a seamless MCP connection and the unparalleled depth, breadth and quality of financial data, analytics, news and commentary that LSEG provides.”
An initial group of 4,000 LSEG employees will gain access to ChatGPT Enterprise.
This will help them streamline tasks, improve internal processes, and work more efficiently within a secure enterprise environment.
LSEG will collaborate with OpenAI’s technical teams to ensure smooth adoption of the latest AI models and capabilities.
Ashley Kramer, Head of Revenue at OpenAI, commented:
“LSEG’s market data and analytics power decisions across global finance. Integrating that strength into ChatGPT makes it even easier for customers to ask complex questions and move quickly with confidence.”
This initiative forms part of LSEG’s wider AI strategy, LSEG Everywhere, which aims to deliver licensed data to support AI in financial services.
The strategy leverages proprietary datasets spanning decades.
It also includes partnerships with enterprise AI platforms such as Microsoft, Claude, Snowflake, and Databricks.
LSEG’s MCP connector is expected to go live in ChatGPT from the week of 8 December.
