MCP Yahoo Finance

MCP Yahoo Finance is an MCP server that provides tools for querying market data, equity pricing, options chains, and corporate details directly from Yahoo Finance. Software developers, market analysts, and retail investors use this server to equip their AI environments with programmatic financial research capabilities. Instead of switching between web browsers and chat windows, users can prompt their assistant to inspect historical quotes, evaluate daily stock movements, or review derivatives data. The server connects directly to Yahoo Finance endpoints to fetch requested information on demand. By making market statistics accessible to Model Context Protocol clients, the server enables automated valuation workflows, asset performance comparisons over specific date intervals, and options analysis without manual dataset exports. It runs locally using Python packaging tools such as uvx or pip, or via a containerized Docker build.
