An MCP server lets an AI assistant such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor pull financial data on its own. Ask for last month’s CPI print or a company’s latest quarterly revenue, and the assistant picks a tool, calls the provider, and answers from the data it gets.
Most data providers now run an MCP server, but they differ in ways. Some are hosted and support OAuth sign-in, others need a local install.
This guide covers some of the best official MCP servers for financial data, from market data and SEC filings to economic series and crypto. For the underlying APIs and their plans, see our guide to stock market and financial data APIs.

What I Found Testing 4 Servers in Claude Code
I connected FMP, Alpha Vantage, EODHD, and CoinGecko to Claude Code one at a time, using free keys. On November 13, 2026, each finance server was asked for the latest US CPI, the 10-year Treasury yield on November 12, NVIDIA’s latest quarterly revenue, and NVIDIA’s next earnings date. CoinGecko got a crypto version.

FMP answered all four correctly in 16 seconds. Alpha Vantage got NVIDIA’s revenue and earnings date right but returned the unadjusted CPI series, and its Treasury data stopped two days short. EODHD’s covers end-of-day prices only.
Looks like free tier is limitation here than the tool. EODHD loaded 100 tools and Alpha Vantage 133, and FMP 20.
Best MCP Servers for Financial Data
01. Financial Modeling Prep
Market and fundamentals dataFundamentals, economics, and calendars in one server
FMP runs a hosted MCP server at financialmodelingprep.com/mcp. You pass your API key in a header or the URL, or sign in with your FMP account through the official Claude and ChatGPT connectors.
The server groups FMP’s API into up to 28 tools, including quotes, financial statements, SEC filings, earnings transcripts, 13F and insider trades, ETFs, forex, crypto, and economic data.
The tool list is plan-aware. My free key showed 20 tools, and when Claude asked for a company-specific earnings calendar that needed a higher plan, the server said so clearly and Claude switched to the general calendar.
claude mcp add --transport http fmp https://financialmodelingprep.com/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY"
In my test it answered all four questions correctly, including the seasonally adjusted CPI (337.476 for October), the 10-year yield of 5.10%, and NVIDIA’s revenue of $96.221 billion for the quarter ended July 26.
Our take: The best starting point for most people. The free key covers economics, statements, and calendars, the hosted setup takes one command, and the plan-aware tool list keeps the assistant from calling endpoints you can’t use.
Standout features:
- Up to 28 tools covering statements, filings, transcripts, and economics
- Tool list adjusts to your plan
- Official Claude and ChatGPT connectors
- Treasury rates and economic indicators on the free key

Pros & Cons
PROS
CONS
Pricing
The free Basic plan includes 250 API calls a day and works with the MCP server.
Starter costs $29 per month.
02. Alpha Vantage
Market data with broad coverageThe largest set of tools
Alpha Vantage’s server maps almost its entire API to MCP tools, and 133 of them loaded in my Claude Code session. They cover stock time series, options, fundamentals, forex, crypto, commodities, technical indicators, news sentiment, earnings call transcripts, and US economic indicators.
You can connect it three ways.
The hosted server at mcp.alphavantage.co/mcp signs in with OAuth, and the server runs locally with uvx marketdata-mcp-server YOUR_KEY.
Anthropic, OpenAI, and Microsoft list it as a verified connector.
The test showed both its depth and a few rough edges. NVIDIA’s revenue and the November 17 earnings date were right. The CPI tool returned 337.511, which matches the BLS unadjusted index. Full income statements are large, so Claude Code saved them to a file.
Our take: Hard to beat for breadth on a free key, especially for technical indicators and economic series. With only 25 requests a day, a few questions can use up the free tier, so plan on $49.99 a month for regular use.
Standout features:
- About 120 documented tools across stocks, forex, crypto, and economics
- Hosted with OAuth, or local and open source
- Verified connector for Claude, ChatGPT, and Azure AI Foundry
- Technical indicators and news sentiment tools

Pricing
The free key allows 25 requests a day.
Premium plans start at $49.99 per month with 75 requests per minute.
03. Massive
Market data, formerly Polygon.ioLarge datasets and built-in analysis
Massive takes a different approach. Its server exposes just three tools, which search the API’s endpoints, call them, and query the results. Responses go into an in-memory SQLite store, so the assistant can filter and join large datasets with SQL instead of reading them all into its context.
Built-in functions add Black-Scholes greeks, returns, Sharpe and Sortino ratios, and moving averages on top of the data. Coverage spans stocks, options, forex, crypto, futures, and indices, plus fundamentals, Benzinga news and ratings, Treasury yields, and inflation.
The hosted server at mcp.massive.com signs in with OAuth and allows 64 MB of working storage per session. The open-source local server uses your API key.
Our take: The strongest choice for options analysis and for questions that need a lot of rows, such as screening many tickers. Its free plan’s 5 calls per minute is fine for testing, but real workloads need a paid plan.
Standout features:
- Three tools that reach the whole API
- In-memory SQL over results
- Built-in greeks, returns, and risk ratios
- Hosted or self-hosted

Pros & Cons

CONS
Pricing
The free Stocks Basic plan allows 5 API calls per minute with 2 years of history.
Stocks Starter costs $29 per month.
04. EODHD
Global market dataExchanges and fundamentals worldwide
EODHD offers two hosted versions of its server. Version 1 takes an API key in the URL and suits scripts and custom agents, and version 2 uses OAuth 2.1 for Claude and other interactive clients.
Its 72 tools cover end-of-day, intraday, and live prices across global exchanges, fundamentals, options, news and sentiment, technical indicators, macroeconomic data, and a screener. The server also ships 100+ documentation resources and 3 prompt templates.
The free key is very narrow. In my test it returned the 10-year Treasury yield correctly, but CPI, NVIDIA’s financials, and the earnings calendar all failed with a message that only end-of-day data is allowed for free users. A demo key exists for trying the server.
Our take: Good value if you need international exchanges, with plans from $19.99 a month. Treat the free key as a way to check the setup rather than to judge the data, since fundamentals start at $59.99.
Standout features:
- 72 read-only tools and 100+ documentation resources
- API key and OAuth versions
- Global exchange coverage

Pricing
The free plan includes 20 API calls a day.
End-of-day data starts at $19.99 per month, EOD and intraday at $29.99, and fundamentals at $59.99.
05. Twelve Data
Market dataMulti-asset prices and indicators
Twelve Data’s hosted server at mcp.twelvedata.com/mcp signs in with your Twelve Data account through OAuth. You can also run it yourself over stdio, HTTP, or Docker with an API key.
Data covers real-time and historical prices for stocks, ETFs, forex, crypto, and commodities, along with 60+ technical indicators, fundamentals, earnings, dividends, mutual funds, news, analyst ratings, and SEC filings. Twelve Data is available in Claude as connector also works with n8n.
Our take: A good pick for multi-asset prices and indicators with a usable free tier of 800 credits a day. The self-hosted option suits teams that want to keep the server inside their own network.
Standout features:
- 60+ technical indicators
- Stocks, forex, crypto, ETFs, and commodities
- Self-hosted option with Docker

Pricing
The free Basic plan allows 800 API credits a day and 8 per minute.
Grow starts at $29 per month, or $24 per month billed annually.
06. Finnhub
Fundamentals and alternative dataEstimates, transcripts, and alternative data
Finnhub’s hosted server at mcp.finnhub.io/mcp exposes 70 tools. You sign in with your Finnhub account, and the data you can reach follows your plan.
Along with fundamentals, analyst estimates, earnings calendars, transcripts, SEC filings, funds, forex, crypto, and economic data, it includes alternative data such as ESG scores, supply chains, patents, lobbying, congressional trading, and social sentiment.
Our take: The pick for research questions that go beyond prices and statements, such as who supplies a company or how lawmakers are trading. Expect to pay for the datasets.
Standout features:
- 70 tools including alternative data
- Analyst estimates and earnings transcripts
- Congressional trading and lobbying data
- Hosted with OAuth sign-in

Pricing
The free plan allows 60 API calls per minute.
Paid market data starts at $49.99 per month, billed quarterly.
The All-In-One plan costs $3,500 per month billed annually.
07. TradingView
Charting platformCharts, screeners, and alerts
TradingView’s official MCP server connects your TradingView account to Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Grok, Perplexity, Cursor, and other clients. You add mcp.tradingview.com/mcp and sign in with OAuth 2.1.
Its 35 tools cover OHLCV and economic data, symbol search, screeners, news, fundamentals and forecasts, documents, calendars, and your watchlists and alerts. Some of them write to your account, so an assistant can create alerts or edit watchlists as well as read data. Calls are limited to about 100 a minute per user.
Our take: The natural choice if you already use TradingView, since an assistant can screen markets, read your watchlists, and set alerts for you.
Standout features:
- 35 tools including screeners, calendars, and alerts
- Reads and edits watchlists and alerts
- Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity, and Cursor

Pros & Cons
PROS
CONS
Pricing
MCP access is included with the Essential plan and higher.
Free trials don’t include MCP access.
08. Financial Datasets
AI-first financial dataFundamentals and filings built for agents
Financial Datasets’ open-source MCP server has more than 2,300 GitHub stars. The hosted server offers OAuth at mcp.financialdatasets.ai for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Cursor, and an API-key endpoint at /api for scripts.
It covers prices, financial statements, metrics, SEC filings and filing sections, insider trades, 13F and 13D/G holdings, earnings, KPIs and guidance, segments, news, interest rates, macro data, politician trades, and a stock screener, across 20+ tools.
Our take: Well suited to agent builders who want clean fundamentals and filings without stitching APIs together. There’s no free plan, but a one-time $20 credit pack is enough to try it.
Standout features:
- 20+ tools for fundamentals, filings, and holdings
- Separate OAuth and API-key endpoints
- Segments, KPIs, and guidance data
- Insider and politician trades

Pricing
A one-time credit pack costs $20 for 1,000 requests.
The Personal plan costs $200 per month for 100,000 requests.
09. SEC-API.io
SEC filings dataSearching and parsing SEC filings
SEC-API.io puts every EDGAR filing since 1993 behind a single hosted MCP endpoint. Its 49 tools cover full-text search, XBRL financial statements converted to JSON, section extraction from 10-Ks and 10-Qs, insider trades, 13F and 13D/G holdings, 8-K items, audit data, executive pay, and Form ADV adviser filings.
Setup is a URL with your API key, and the docs give steps for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Copilot Studio. The free plan’s include MCP access.
The SEC doesn’t run an MCP server of its own. Community servers such as sec-edgar-mcp read EDGAR directly, but SEC-API.io adds parsing, search, and structured data on top.
Our take: The specialist pick for anyone whose questions start with a filing, such as tracking insider sales or comparing risk factors across 10-Ks. Pair it with a market data server for prices.
Standout features:
- 49 tools across all EDGAR filings since 1993
- Full-text search and section extraction
- XBRL statements as JSON
- Insider, 13F, and 8-K event data

Pricing
The free plan includes 100 API calls.
Personal and Startups costs $55 per month.
10. FRED
Economic dataFree US and international economic series
The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis runs an official MCP connector for FRED, its database of economic time series. It’s free and don’t need FRED API key, and works through a FRED MCP Connector account.
Its five tools search series, read metadata, fetch observations, create download links for CSV or JSON, and draw FRED graphs. That’s enough to answer questions like how unemployment has moved against inflation since 2020.
Our take: The first server to add for macro questions. It doesn’t cover company data, so pair it with FMP or Alpha Vantage.
Standout features:
- Official server from the St. Louis Fed
- Search, observations, downloads, and graphs
- No API key required
- Listed in Claude’s connector directory

Pros & Cons
PROS
CONS
11. CoinGecko
Crypto dataFree crypto data with no key
CoinGecko runs a free, keyless hosted server at mcp.api.coingecko.com/mcp, along with a keyed server for paid plans and a local npm package. The SDK code is open source under Apache-2.0.
The keyless server works differently from the rest of this list. It exposes two tools, one to search CoinGecko’s docs and one to run code, so the assistant writes a short script against the CoinGecko SDK and gets several answers in a single call.
In my test, one call returned Bitcoin’s price and 24-hour change, its all-time high of $126,080 from October 6, 2025, its October 30 price, and the trending coins.

The historical price is a snapshot at 00:00 UTC. Onchain DEX and pool data need the keyed server.
Our take: The easiest way to give an assistant crypto data. For the wider crypto API market, see our list of cryptocurrency APIs.
Standout features:
- Keyless hosted server
- Code-mode tools that batch several requests
- Prices, markets, categories, and trending coins
- Onchain DEX data on the keyed server
Pricing
The Demo plan is free with 10,000 call credits a month.
Paid plans start at $29 per month billed annually.
12. FactSet
Enterprise dataInstitutional research data
FactSet’s MCP server brings its institutional data into Claude and other clients for existing FactSet customers. The connector exposes 23 tools across global prices, fundamentals, consensus estimates, ownership, people, M&A, private equity and venture capital, supply chains, geographic revenue, funds and ETFs, bond prices, debt structure, and macroeconomics.
You sign in with your FactSet account, and every call respects your entitlements.
Our take: The pick for analysts and investment teams that already pay for FactSet. LSEG, S&P Global, Morningstar, and Moody’s offer similar servers for their own customers.
Standout features:
- 23 tools across institutional datasets
- Ownership, M&A, and supply chain data
- Entitlement checks on every call

MCP Servers for Trading
Brokers have started shipping MCP servers too, but these act on your account rather than just reading market data, so treat them with more care.
- Alpaca runs an open-source server locally with your API key, which makes it the safest place to experiment with an assistant that places orders.
- Interactive Brokers offers a hosted server. Claude drafts trade instructions, and you approve them in IBKR.
- Robinhood launched a beta that trades only in a dedicated agentic account.
For building and backtesting strategies with AI, see our guide to AI frameworks for trading strategies.
Other Financial MCP Servers

Hosted crypto server for quotes, global metrics, technical analysis, news, and on-chain data.
Hosted server with OAuth for stock prices, options, and fundamentals.
Official server for web search and deep research. Perplexity’s structured finance_search tool is part of its Agent API, not the MCP server.
If you’re building your own server, our list of MCP server directories covers where to publish it.
Conclusion
For most people, FMP is the server to start with. Its free key answered every question in my test. Add FRED for economic data and CoinGecko for crypto.
Alpha Vantage and Massive suit analysis, SEC-API.io and Financial Datasets suit filings and fundamentals, and Finnhub adds alternative data. Teams that already pay for FactSet, LSEG, or S&P Global can connect those subscriptions the same way.
