mcp-yfinance

Overview

The mcp-yfinance server is a specialized Model Context Protocol implementation that bridges Claude Desktop with Yahoo Finance's financial data through the yfinance Python library. It enables Claude to access real-time stock prices, historical performance data, institutional ownership information, and analyst price targets directly within conversations. The server transforms financial queries into API calls and returns structured data that Claude can use for analysis and reporting.
