This MCP server provides access to Yahoo Finance data through a standardized Model Context Protocol interface. You can fetch real-time and historical prices, financials, news, options, holders, and more, enabling AI assistants to answer finance questions with structured data.

How to use

You interact with the Yahoo Finance MCP Server through an MCP client that communicates over stdio. Start the server using one of the recommended execution methods, then ask your client to request data such as historical prices, company fundamentals, news, or options data.
