FinData MCP server
by sapph1re
Lets your AI look up stock prices, company basics, economic numbers, SEC filings and crypto prices for you.
FinData MCP is a helper that connects your AI assistant to financial data. Once it is set up, you can just ask your AI for a stock price or an economic figure and it will go and fetch it. It is handy for anyone who checks markets, reads company reports, or follows the economy as part of their day.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already learned. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an outside service. This one connects your AI to financial data sources like stock markets, the Federal Reserve's economic database, SEC filings and crypto prices. So when you ask a question about a stock or the economy, your AI can actually go and look it up instead of guessing.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI something like the current price of a stock, or the latest inflation number. Your AI passes that request to this helper program running on your computer. The helper sends the request to a hosted service, which pulls the data from sources like Yahoo Finance, FRED, SEC EDGAR and CoinGecko. Then the answer comes back into your chat as a clean result. Each lookup costs a tiny amount of money, paid automatically from a digital wallet you set up.
Click to zoomWhat you can do with it
- Look up a live stock price, its daily change and trading volume
- Get company basics like revenue, P/E ratio, sector and dividend yield
- Check economic figures such as GDP, inflation, unemployment or interest rates
- Read the full text of SEC filings like annual 10-K reports
- Get cryptocurrency prices and market data for Bitcoin, Ethereum and thousands more
- Compare numbers across companies or time periods in one conversation
Try asking your AI
- “What is Nvidia's stock price right now?”
- “Give me Apple's revenue, P/E ratio and dividend yield”
- “What was the US inflation rate in the latest FRED data?”
- “Pull up Apple's most recent 10-K filing and summarize the main risks”
- “What is the current price of Bitcoin and how has it moved this week?”
What it gives back to you
You get the answer right in your chat, usually as a short list of numbers or a small table. For a stock quote you see the price, the change, the volume and the market cap. For an economic indicator you see the latest value and the date it refers to. For a filing you get the text, which your AI can then summarize or answer questions about.
Before you start
What you need
- Python installed on your computer (the README uses pip to install it)
- A digital wallet key for Base, a crypto network, with a small amount of USDC on it (about $1 covers 100 lookups)
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
Good to know
Each lookup costs a small amount of real money from your wallet, so keep an eye on how often your AI calls it.
