🤖 Finance MCP Server — AI-Native Stock, Fundamentals & Market Data for LLM Agents

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, and custom LLM agents directly to live market data through the Model Context Protocol. A drop-in replacement for the Bloomberg Terminal API, Refinitiv Eikon, and FactSet Web Services — without enterprise contracts or $24K/year seat fees.

What You Get (tools the agent can call)

• get_quote(symbol) — live price, bid/ask, volume, day range
• get_fundamentals(symbol) — P/E, EPS, market cap, dividend yield, sector, industry
• get_financials(symbol, statement) — income statement, balance sheet, cash flow
• get_news(symbol) — latest news headlines + summaries
• screen_stocks(filters) — multi-criteria screener (market cap, sector, P/E, etc.)
• get_historical(symbol, range) — OHLCV history at daily / weekly resolution
• get_options_chain(symbol) — calls + puts across expiries
• get_earnings(symbol) — upcoming + historical earnings + estimates

Use Cases

• AI equity-research analysts — Claude pulls fundamentals → financials → news → drafts a thesis
• Trading co-pilots — agents that answer "what's the P/E of every semis name under $50B?"
• Robo-advisor backends — LLM tools for portfolio commentary and rebalancing
• Quant data ops — drop in as a Bloomberg replacement for prototyping
• Newsletter automation — agent reads earnings, writes the recap
• Personal finance chatbots — give consumer LLM apps real fundamentals data
• Hedge-fund internal tooling — junior analyst LLM assistants with live data

Quick Start

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("nexgendata/finance-mcp-server").call(run_input={
    "tool": "get_quote",
    "params": {"symbol": "NVDA"}
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

Or wire it into Claude Desktop's mcp_servers config — every tool auto-registers.

Pricing

Pay-per-event — only pay for results the agent actually retrieves.

• Actor Start: $0.00005 per GB
• Result: $0.01 per dataset item

A typical research-agent chain costs $0.05–$0.50. Compare to $24,000/year for one Bloomberg seat.

FAQ

Q: Which MCP clients work? Any MCP-compliant client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, custom LangChain agents, Anthropic SDK code, n8n's MCP node.

Q: Where does the data come from? Live aggregation from public market data sources (Yahoo, Finviz, SEC, exchange-direct where available). No stale 15-min caches.

Q: Is this for production or just prototyping? Both. Apify runs at scale. Plenty of teams use it as a Bloomberg replacement for non-microsecond use cases.

Q: Real-time or delayed quotes? Delayed ~15 minutes for U.S. equities (industry standard for non-licensed feeds). Real-time available on request via custom plan.

Q: Can I use this for trading? You can read data with it. We don't execute trades — that's your broker.

Q: How do I handle rate limits? Apify handles back-off and retry. You don't tune anything.

Q: Why MCP vs a normal API? With MCP the LLM picks tools dynamically — you write zero glue code. With REST you write the tool-calling glue every time.

How NexGenData Pricing Works

Every NexGenData actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no surprise overage bills.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result: charged per item written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform

If you only need the data once a quarter, you only pay once a quarter. If you scale to millions of records, the unit cost stays the same.
