TAM-MCP-Server

# TAM-MCP-Server Agentic Application - LLM Development Guide

## Project Objective

Build a sophisticated multi-agent system for Total Addressable Market (TAM) analysis using a pure Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem. The system provides comprehensive economic data analysis, market sizing, competitive intelligence, and financial modeling capabilities through specialized AI agents that interact with standardized MCP servers.

**Core Goal**: Transition from hybrid custom/MCP approach to 100% MCP coverage across 8 core economic data sources, creating reusable community resources while delivering enterprise-grade TAM analysis capabilities.

```

### Cross-Source Validation
```python
async def validate_economic_indicators(
    indicators: List[str],
    countries: List[str]
) -> ValidationReport:
    # Call multiple sources for same indicators
    sources = ['fred', 'imf', 'oecd', 'world_bank']
    results = await asyncio.gather(*[
        mcp_clients[source].call_tool(
            f'{source}_get_indicators',
            {'indicators': indicators, 'countries': countries}
