Add FutureSearch to Claude Code if you haven't already:

claude mcp add futuresearch --scope project --transport http https://mcp.futuresearch.ai/mcp

With your S&P 500 CSV in the working directory, tell Claude:

Screen this S&P 500 dataset to find companies with high-quality recurring revenue
business models that would also benefit from escalating US-China tensions over Taiwan.

Recurring revenue >75%: Subscription services, long-term contracts, maintenance
agreements, royalty streams. Not one-time product sales or project-based work.

Taiwan tensions beneficiary: CHIPS Act beneficiaries, defense contractors,
cybersecurity, reshoring plays, alternative supply chain providers. Exclude
companies dependent on Taiwan manufacturing or with significant China revenue at risk.

Claude calls FutureSearch's classify MCP tool, which runs a two-pass pipeline: a fast first pass triages all rows, then a careful second pass re-evaluates borderline cases:

Tool: futuresearch_classify
├─ task: "Find companies with high-quality recurring revenue business models..."
├─ input_csv: "/Users/you/sp500.csv"
└─ categories: ["yes", "no"]

→ Submitted: 502 rows for classification.
  Task ID: fc3d...

Tool: futuresearch_progress
├─ task_id: "fc3d..."
→ Running: 0/502 complete, 502 running (30s elapsed)

...

Tool: futuresearch_progress
→ Completed: 502/502 (0 failed) in 930s.

Tool: futuresearch_results
├─ task_id: "fc3d..."
├─ output_path: "/Users/you/thesis_screen.csv"
→ Saved 63 rows to /Users/you/thesis_screen.csv

Add the FutureSearch connector if you haven't already. Then upload your S&P 500 CSV and ask Claude:

Screen to find companies with high-quality recurring revenue business models (>75% recurring) that would also benefit from escalating US-China tensions over Taiwan. Include CHIPS Act beneficiaries, defense contractors, cybersecurity, reshoring plays. Exclude companies dependent on Taiwan manufacturing or with significant China revenue at risk.

Results take about 15.5 minutes.

Go to futuresearch.ai/app, upload your S&P 500 CSV, and enter:

Screen to find companies with high-quality recurring revenue business models (>75% recurring) that would also benefit from escalating US-China tensions over Taiwan. Include CHIPS Act beneficiaries, defense contractors, cybersecurity, reshoring plays. Exclude companies dependent on Taiwan manufacturing or with significant China revenue at risk.

Screening is binary classification: use classify() with categories=["yes", "no"] and only passing rows are returned.

See also: FutureSearch also forecasts long-term S&P 500 returns, not just screens by thesis. A paper portfolio built from those forecasts has outperformed the index since August 2025.
