# Guides

> Guides for building, iterating on, analyzing, and integrating Noonum strategies with the REST API and MCP server.

A Noonum strategy turns an investment thesis into a ranked list of companies. These guides walk through building, iterating on, analyzing, and integrating strategies, ordered from your first strategy to a full integration.

All examples target the REST base URL `https://api.noonum.ai/v2` or the MCP server at `https://api.noonum.ai/v1/mcp`, and carry an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header, where `<token>` is your Noonum API key. If you are starting out, see the [Quickstart](/v2/getting-started/quickstart) and [Authentication](/v2/getting-started/authentication).

## Guides

* [Build a strategy](/v2/guides/build-strategy): turn an investment thesis into a ranked list of companies, from objective to submission to refinement. Every step maps to a REST endpoint and an MCP tool.
* [Iterate and refine a strategy](/v2/guides/iterate-strategy): a Python workflow to enhance the objective, exclude unwanted companies, re-submit, and generate historical results.
* [Analyze and compare strategies](/v2/guides/analyze-strategies): work with existing strategies. View holdings, find outliers, compare, refine, and export them via the REST API or MCP server.
* [End-to-end REST integration](/v2/guides/rest-integration): a working tutorial with `curl` and Python side by side. Authenticate, use a public strategy from the catalog (`GET /strategies?scope=public`) or build your own, fetch holdings, and run a backtest.

To connect an AI agent, see [MCP Client Setup](/base/agentic/mcp-client-setup) to point Claude, Cursor, or another client at the Noonum MCP server.

## Need an API key?

The Noonum team provisions API keys. See [Authentication](/v2/getting-started/authentication) to request one.
