You can run a Python-based MCP server that fetches live stock prices from Yahoo Finance and exposes trading commands through Claude’s MCP interface. This setup lets you query real-time quotes and issue trading-related commands directly from Claude, enabling streamlined market interaction with minimal manual steps.

How to use

Connect your Claude MCP client to the Trading MCP Server to start querying live prices. You can ask for the latest price of a ticker like AAPL, and Claude will relay the current quote by contacting the MCP server you'll run locally or remotely. You can also extend the server to add signals, historical analyses, and additional trading features as you expand your setup.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have a working Python environment and the UV tool for dependency management.

# Install uv if not already installed
brew install uv

# Navigate to the project directory
# (Replace this with your actual project path)
cd MCPtrading

# Install dependencies
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

# (Optional) Add packages
uv add yfinance

Additional setup and configuration

Run the MCP server using UV with the Python environment and the MCP CLI integration. This starts the Trading server so Claude can communicate with it for price lookups and command handling.

uv run --python .venv/bin/python --with "mcp[cli]" mcp run trader_tools.py

Optional Claude config example

If you prefer to configure the MCP server as an explicit stdio server entry, use the following shape.

{
  "type": "stdio",
  "name": "trading",
  "command": "uv",
  "args": [
    "run",
    "--python",
    "/full/path/to/.venv/bin/python",
    "--with",
    "mcp[cli]",
    "mcp",
    "run",
    "trader_tools.py"
  ]
}

Notes and tips

Use the same Python virtual environment across commands to ensure compatibility with dependencies.
You can extend the server with additional trading signals and historical analyses as your needs grow.
