fmp-mcp 0.3.0

MCP server for Financial Modeling Prep - 19 tools for market data via Claude

fmp-mcp

Financial intelligence for your AI agent — powered by live market data.

Give Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI) the ability to analyze stocks, screen markets, compare peers, read earnings calls, and track sector rotations — all grounded in real financial data from Financial Modeling Prep.

This isn't a raw API wrapper. Each tool is purpose-built for a specific analytical task, composing multiple data sources into structured, analysis-ready outputs designed for AI consumption.
