# MCP Server for Interacting with Yahoo Finance #
---
The [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) is an open standard developed by Anthropic to enable seamless integration between Large Language Models (LLMs) and external tools, services, and data sources.
This project provides a simple implementation that allows LLM to interact with Yahoo Finance through the [yfinance](https://ranaroussi.github.io/yfinance/) Python library.
The server uses [fastmcp](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp) and runs within a Docker container to ensure portability.
## Installation ##
- Using python & pip:
```
pip install .
```
- Alternative - using Docker:
```
docker build -t yfinance-mcp-server .
```
## Configuration ##
- If installed using python & pip, add this item in MCP settings:
```
"mcpServers": {
"YahooFinanceServer": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "yfinance_mcp_server"]
}
}
```
- If installed using Docker, add this item in MCP settings:
```
"mcpServers": {
"YahooFinanceServer": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "yfinance-mcp-server"]
}
}
```
## Example ##
In your LLM interface, e.g. Cline, you can ask something like:
```
What is MSFT's stock price on Jan 1, 2025?
```
