dalal-mcp

A zero-config, free MCP server for Indian stock markets — with screening and market-breadth tools no other Indian-markets MCP server offers.

dalal-mcp lets any LLM client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor) query NSE/BSE equities in plain language. Unlike other Indian-markets MCP servers, it doesn't stop at quote lookup: it can run a stock screen and read market internals (StockBee-style breadth) — and it needs no API key.

"Which NIFTY stocks are up more than 4% today on above-average volume?"
"What's market breadth right now — how many stocks are above their 50-day average?"
"Give me Infosys fundamentals and its last month of prices."

Why this one

• 🆓 Zero-config & free. Uses Yahoo Finance data (.NS/.BO tickers). No signup, no paid API key — unlike servers that require a paid data plan.
• 🔎 Screening built in (screen_stocks) — filter a universe by price, % change, volume, and moving-average crosses. No other Indian-markets MCP server does this.
• 📊 Market breadth (market_breadth) — advancers/decliners, new 52-week highs/lows, % of stocks above their 50/200-day moving averages.
• 🧱 Reliable by design — thin data layer, fully unit-tested tools, graceful per-symbol error handling.
