## 🔧 Error Handling
All errors return structured JSON:
```json
{
"error": {
"code": "PROVIDER_RATE_LIMIT",
"message": "Finnhub API rate limit exceeded",
"details": {
"provider": "finnhub",
"symbol": "AAPL"
}
}
}
```
**Error Codes:**
- `PROVIDER_TIMEOUT` - Request timed out
- `SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND` - Invalid or unknown symbol
- `INVALID_ARGUMENT` - Bad input parameters
- `PROVIDER_RATE_LIMIT` - API rate limit hit
- `PROVIDER_ERROR` - Provider-specific error
- `MISSING_API_KEY` - Finnhub key not configured
- `NO_DATA` - No data available for request
## 💡 Usage Examples with Claude
Once integrated, you can ask Claude:
```
"Compare the fundamentals of Tencent (0700.HK) and Alibaba (9988.HK).
Show me ROE, profit margins, and debt ratios."
```
```
"Get the last 5 years of annual financial statements for AAPL.
Calculate revenue growth rate and profit margin trends."
```
```
"Find Chinese tech stocks with ROE > 15% and PE < 20.
Show me their recent price performance."
```
## 🎯 Use Cases
### Value Investing Analysis
- Screen stocks by ROE, margins, debt ratios
- Compare fundamentals across markets
- Track historical performance metrics
### Portfolio Management
- Monitor real-time quotes for watchlist
- Analyze sector allocations
- Track dividend yields
### Financial Research
- Pull complete financial statements
- Calculate custom metrics
- Build valuation models
## ⚙️ Configuration
### Cache TTL Settings
Adjust in `.env`:
```bash
STOCK_MCP_CACHE_TTL_QUOTE=5 # Quote cache (seconds)
STOCK_MCP_CACHE_TTL_FUNDAMENTALS=3600 # Fundamentals (1 hour)
STOCK_MCP_CACHE_TTL_STATEMENTS=86400 # Statements (24 hours)
```
### Rate Limits
**Finnhub Free Tier:**
- 60 API calls/minute
- 30 calls/second
**Best Practices:**
- Enable caching (default)
- Batch similar requests
- Use Yahoo for high-frequency quote checks
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
### "MISSING_API_KEY" error
```bash
# Check if env var is set
echo $FINNHUB_API_KEY
# If using .env file, verify it's loaded
cat .env | grep FINNHUB
# Restart server after setting
```
### Server not appearing in Claude Desktop
1. Check JSON syntax in config file
2. Use absolute paths (not `~` or relative paths)
3. Verify Python path with `which python` in your venv
4. Check logs:
```bash
# macOS
tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log
# Windows
Get-Content $env:APPDATA\Claude\logs\mcp*.log -Wait
```
### Symbol not found
- Verify symbol format (e.g., `0700.HK` not `700.HK`)
- Try searching first: `search_symbol("tencent")`
- Check if market is supported
### Rate limit exceeded
- Increase cache TTL
- Reduce request frequency
- Consider Finnhub paid tier for higher limits
## 📊 Performance
**Typical Response Times:**
- Quote (cached): <10ms
- Quote (fresh): 200-500ms
- History (1 year): 500-1000ms
- Fundamentals (cached): <10ms
- Fundamentals (fresh): 1-2s
- Statements: 1-3s
**Cache Hit Rates:**
- Quotes: ~80% (5s TTL)
- Fundamentals: ~95% (1h TTL)
- Statements: ~99% (24h TTL)
