Overview

What is Market Data Mcp?

Market Data Mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that provides real-time market data—quotes, news, earnings calendars, and a watchlist scanner—to AI agents. It integrates with Finnhub as its primary data source and optionally Alpaca for broker positions. Designed for any MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Claude Code), it returns clean, uniform results that fail gracefully rather than fabricating values.

How to use Market Data Mcp?

Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment, install dependencies, and configure a .env file with FINNHUB_API_KEY. Run the server via python -m market_data_mcp. Add a mcpServers entry to your Claude Desktop configuration file. Tools are invoked by name (e.g., market_quote, market_scan) and return Markdown by default or JSON with response_format="json".

Key features of Market Data Mcp

  • Real-time quotes, news, earnings calendar, and watchlist scanner.
  • Composite analysis tool with directional score and confidence.
