portfolio-mcp 0.0.5

Portfolio analysis MCP server powered by mcp-refcache - Comprehensive portfolio metrics, optimization, and risk analysis

portfolio-mcp

A portfolio analysis MCP server powered by mcp-refcache for building AI agent tools that handle financial data efficiently.

Features

• Portfolio Management: Create, read, update, delete portfolios with persistent storage
• Data Sources: Yahoo Finance (stocks/ETFs), CoinGecko (crypto), Synthetic (GBM simulation)
• Analysis Tools: Returns, volatility, Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, VaR, drawdowns, correlations
• Optimization: Efficient Frontier, Monte Carlo simulation, weight optimization
• Reference-Based Caching: Large datasets cached via mcp-refcache to avoid context bloat

Installation

Using uv (recommended)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/l4b4r4b4b4/portfolio-mcp
cd portfolio-mcp

# Install dependencies
uv sync

# Run the server
uv run portfolio-mcp stdio

Using pip

pip install portfolio-mcp
portfolio-mcp stdio

Quick Start

Connect to Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "portfolio-mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/portfolio-mcp", "portfolio-mcp", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Basic Usage

Once connected, you can use natural language to:

"Create a portfolio called 'tech_stocks' with AAPL, GOOG, and MSFT"
"Analyze the returns and volatility of my tech_stocks portfolio"
"Optimize my portfolio for maximum Sharpe ratio"
"Show me the efficient frontier with 20 points"
"Compare my portfolios by Sharpe ratio"

Reference-Based Caching

This server uses mcp-refcache to handle large results efficiently:

1. Large results are cached - When a tool returns data that exceeds the preview size, it's stored in the cache
2. References are returned - The tool returns a ref_id and a preview/sample of the data
3. Full data on demand - Use get_cached_result(ref_id=...) to retrieve the complete data

This prevents context window bloat when working with large datasets like price histories or Monte Carlo simulations.
