You deploy the Financial Data MCP Server to access Alpha Vantage stock data through an MCP client, enabling you to fetch current quotes and historical data to enrich your LLM workflows with financial context.

How to use

Connect your MCP client (for example Claude Desktop) to the Financial Data MCP Server using the provided runtime command. You will supply your Alpha Vantage API key so the server can fetch data from the Alpha Vantage service and relay it to your client as needed. Use the tools to request a current stock quote or historical data for a given symbol.

How to install

npx -y @smithery/cli install findata-mcp-server --client claude

If you prefer to install manually, you can install the MCP server package with npm and run it as needed. Use the exact commands shown to ensure proper MCP integration.

Additional notes

Security: keep your Alpha Vantage API key secure and avoid exposing it in client configurations or logs.

Environment: the server expects your API key to be provided to the MCP client configuration so the server can authenticate requests to Alpha Vantage.
