Yahoo Finance Stock Data MCP Server by nexgendata

Connect AI agents to structured stock market data through the Model Context Protocol. This MCP server gives LLM-powered applications direct access to stock market tools, returning clean JSON that agents can reason about and act on.

What This MCP Server Does

This MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposes stock market data tools that AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and custom LLM agents can call directly. Instead of building API integrations or writing scraping code, any MCP-compatible AI system can access structured stock market data through natural language requests. The server handles authentication, rate limiting, data extraction, and response formatting automatically.

Who Uses This

AI developers building agents that need access to stock market data. Companies integrating real-time data into their LLM-powered products. Research teams using AI assistants for automated data gathering. Automation platforms connecting AI agents to structured data sources. Anyone building on top of the Model Context Protocol ecosystem.

How It Works

Deploy this MCP server on Apify and connect it to any MCP-compatible client. The server exposes a set of tools that accept structured parameters and return clean JSON responses. AI agents can discover available tools, understand their parameters, and call them as part of multi-step reasoning chains. The server runs on Apify infrastructure with built-in proxy support, caching, and error handling.

Available Tools

The server provides tools for fetching real-time stock prices, retrieving company financials, accessing earnings data, and monitoring market movements. Each tool accepts specific parameters, handles the underlying data extraction, and returns structured JSON that AI agents can parse and reason about. Tools are designed to be composable so agents can chain multiple calls together for complex data gathering workflows.

Pricing

This MCP server uses pay-per-event pricing. Each tool call that returns data counts as one event. Pricing is consistent with the underlying data actors at $3 per 1,000 events, making it cost-effective to integrate into production AI agent workflows.

Getting Started

Deploy the MCP server from the Apify Store. Configure your MCP client (Claude Desktop, custom agent, etc.) with the server endpoint URL. The server auto-discovers available tools and exposes them to your AI system. No additional configuration needed.

FAQ

Is this compatible with Claude Desktop? Yes. Any MCP-compatible client can connect to this server, including Claude Desktop, custom LLM agents, and automation platforms that support the Model Context Protocol.

Do I need separate API keys? No. The server handles all data access internally through Apify infrastructure. You only need your Apify API token to deploy and connect.

Can I use this in production? Yes. The server runs on Apify's scalable infrastructure with built-in monitoring, logging, and error handling suitable for production workloads.

run = client.actor("nexgendata/yahoo-finance-mcp-server").call(run_input={
    # Fill in the input shape from the actor's input_schema
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():

❓ FAQ

Q: How do I get started? Sign up at apify.com, grab your API token from Settings → Integrations, and run the actor via the Apify console, API, Python SDK, or any integration (Zapier, Make.com, n8n).

Q: What's the typical cost per run? See the pricing section below. Most runs finish under $0.10 for typical batches.

Q: Is this actor maintained? Yes. NexGenData maintains 140+ Apify actors and ships updates regularly. Bug reports via the Apify console issues tab get responses within 24 hours.

Q: Can I use the output commercially? Yes — you own the output data. Check the target site's Terms of Service for any usage restrictions on the scraped content itself.

Q: How do I handle rate limits? Apify manages concurrency and retries automatically. For very large batches (10K+ items), run multiple smaller jobs in parallel instead of one mega-job for better reliability.
