Yahoo Finance MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Yahoo Finance, a free public site full of stock market data. Once it is set up, you can just ask your AI about a share price or a company and it will go and fetch the numbers. It is handy for anyone who follows the markets, whether for work or just out of curiosity.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about a stock, for example the current price of Apple. Your AI passes that request to this helper program running on your computer. The helper then asks Yahoo Finance for the data and waits for the answer. When the data comes back, your AI reads it and explains it to you in plain words. You never have to visit a finance website or copy numbers around yourself.

What you can do with it

• Check the current price and daily change of a stock
• Get a quick overview of a company, like its sector and market value
• Look at historical daily prices over a period you choose
• Search for a stock when you only know part of the name or ticker
• See what analysts recommend for a stock
• Look up recent insider buying and selling
• Check limited crypto prices like Bitcoin or Ethereum

Try asking your AI

• “What is the current stock price and daily change for AAPL?”
• “Can you give me a company overview for Microsoft (MSFT)?”
• “Show me the historical price data for Tesla (TSLA) over the last 3 months.”
• “What are the analyst recommendations for Amazon (AMZN)?”

What it gives back to you

You get answers written in the chat, built from the data the helper fetched. Depending on what you asked, that could be a price with the day's change, a short company profile with numbers like market value and dividend yield, a list of daily prices, or a table of analyst counts and insider trades. If something goes wrong, you get a short error message instead of an answer.
