LSEG’s AI-ready content will be accessible through a Model Context Proocol server in a phased rollout, starting with LSEG Financial Analytics. Upon roll out, ChatGPT users with LSEG licensed credentials will be able to access and analyse financial market data and news directly within the ChatGPT app.
Emily Prince, group head of AI at LSEG, says: “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.”
Additionally, an initial 4,000 LSEG employees will get access to ChatGPT Enterprise to streamline tasks, improve internal processes and be more productive.
The partnership is the latest milestone in LSEG’s AI strategy – LSEG Everywhere – which includes MCP deployment and recent partnerships with enterprise grade AI applications and data platforms including Microsoft, Claude, Snowflake and Databricks.
LSEG’s MCP connector is expected to be live in ChatGPT from the week of 8 December 2025.
