FMP MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have distinct purposes targeting specific financial analysis aspects like earnings, valuation, or market data, with clear boundaries. However, some overlap exists between company_overview and stock_brief, and between market_overview and market_context, which could cause minor confusion but descriptions help differentiate them.
Naming Consistency5/5Tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with clear verb_noun or noun_verb structures throughout, such as analyst_consensus, company_overview, and earnings_setup. There are no deviations in naming conventions, making the set predictable and readable.
Tool Count3/5With 21 tools, the count is borderline high for a financial data server, potentially overwhelming for agents. While it covers a broad domain, some tools like stock_brief might overlap with others, suggesting the set could be streamlined without losing functionality.
Completeness5/5The tool surface provides comprehensive coverage for stock analysis, including company data, earnings, valuation, market context, and search capabilities. It supports full CRUD-like workflows for financial research with no obvious gaps, enabling agents to perform detailed analysis from overview to deep dives.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, non-destructive, idempotent, and open-world behavior, covering safety and reliability. The description adds useful context by specifying the types of dividend data returned (e.g., yield, growth rates, ex-date) and mentions stock split history, which enhances understanding beyond the annotations without contradicting them.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with key information in the first sentence, followed by details in a bullet-like format, and ends with parameter explanation. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, making it efficient and well-structured for quick comprehension.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple parameter schema, rich annotations, and presence of an output schema, the description is largely complete. It clearly states what data is returned, though it could briefly hint at output structure or limitations. The tool's complexity is low, so the description adequately covers its scope.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, but the description compensates by explaining the 'symbol' parameter as a stock ticker with an example ('AAPL'), adding meaningful semantics. With only one parameter, this is sufficient to clarify usage, though it could note format constraints like uppercase or validity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('Get') and resources ('dividend history, yield, growth rates, and stock split history'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'price_history' or 'financial_statements' that focus on different financial data. It provides a comprehensive list of what information is retrieved, making the purpose explicit and distinct.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lists what data is returned but offers no context on scenarios where dividend info is preferred over other tools like 'company_overview' or 'stock_brief', nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions for usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide excellent behavioral coverage (readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true). The description adds valuable context by specifying the return format ('top 10 holders with % ownership, quarter-over-quarter position changes, and institutional vs float ratio'), which helps the agent understand what data to expect. No contradiction with annotations exists.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is perfectly structured and concise: a clear purpose statement, specific return details, and parameter explanation in just three lines. Every sentence earns its place, with no redundant information. The front-loaded purpose statement immediately communicates the tool's function.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity, rich annotations (covering safety and behavior), and the existence of an output schema (which handles return value documentation), the description is complete enough. It explains the purpose, return data format, and parameter usage, providing all necessary context for the agent to use the tool effectively without over-explaining.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully compensates by explaining the single parameter's purpose and format ('Stock ticker symbol (e.g. "AAPL")'). This adds essential meaning beyond the bare schema, making the parameter's usage clear despite the schema's lack of description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with specific verbs ('Get institutional ownership breakdown and position changes') and identifies the resource (stock ownership data). It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on institutional ownership rather than earnings, dividends, or other financial metrics. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with similar tools like 'insider_activity' or 'market_overview'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context through the parameter description (stock ticker symbol) and the mention of specific data returned. However, it provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'insider_activity' for ownership changes or 'company_overview' for broader company data. The agent must infer appropriate usage from the tool's name and description alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true, and idempotentHint=true, covering safety and idempotency. The description adds valuable behavioral context by specifying what the tool returns (segment percentages, growth identification, concentration risk flags), which goes beyond the annotations and helps the agent understand the output behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is efficiently structured with a purpose statement, output details, and parameter explanation in three concise sentences. Every sentence adds value, and it's front-loaded with the core functionality, making it easy to parse without wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity (single parameter, read-only operation) and the presence of annotations and an output schema, the description is largely complete. It explains the purpose, output behavior, and parameter, though it could benefit from more usage guidance relative to siblings to achieve full completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully compensates by clearly explaining the single parameter 'symbol' as a stock ticker symbol with an example ('AAPL'). It adds meaning beyond the bare schema, though it doesn't detail format constraints like length or valid characters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('Get revenue breakdown') and resource ('by product/service and geographic region'), distinguishing it from siblings like 'financial_statements' or 'company_overview' which provide different financial data. It specifies the exact type of analysis performed, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for analyzing revenue segmentation, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'financial_statements' or 'peer_comparison'. It doesn't mention prerequisites, exclusions, or specific scenarios where this tool is preferred over others in the sibling list.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, covering safety and idempotency. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: it explains merging of news sources, deduplication by title similarity, sorting by date, and event type flagging. This clarifies the tool's processing behavior, though it doesn't detail rate limits or authentication needs.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by behavioral details and parameter explanations in a structured format. Every sentence adds value: the first states the goal, the second describes processing steps, and the third defines parameters with examples. No wasted words or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity (2 parameters, processing logic) and rich annotations, the description is mostly complete. It explains the tool's behavior and parameters well, and since an output schema exists, return values need not be detailed. However, it lacks explicit usage guidelines compared to siblings, which is a minor gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description carries full burden. It clearly explains both parameters: 'symbol' as the stock ticker with an example ('AAPL'), and 'limit' as the max items with a default value (20). This adds essential meaning beyond the bare schema, though it could specify format constraints like uppercase or valid ticker symbols.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with specific verbs ('Get recent news articles and press releases for a stock') and distinguishes it from siblings by focusing on news aggregation rather than financial metrics, earnings, or other data types. It explicitly mentions merging, deduplication, sorting, and event flagging, which differentiates it from simple news retrieval tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for retrieving news about a specific stock, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'market_overview' or 'stock_brief'. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned, leaving the agent to infer context from the tool's name and description alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true, and idempotentHint=true, covering safety and idempotency. The description adds useful context about the dual functionality (simple lookup vs. filtered screening) and default limit behavior, but doesn't disclose rate limits, authentication needs, or pagination details beyond the limit parameter.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is perfectly structured and front-loaded: first sentence states core purpose, second explains usage patterns, then a clean Args section documents all parameters. Every sentence earns its place with zero wasted words or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity (6 parameters, screening functionality), rich annotations, and presence of an output schema, the description is nearly complete. It explains all parameters and usage patterns well. The only minor gap is not mentioning what type of results are returned, but the output schema handles that.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description carries full burden for parameter documentation. It successfully explains all 6 parameters with clear semantics: query purpose, exchange/sector filtering examples, market cap range meaning, and limit default. The only minor gap is not specifying units for market cap (implied as dollars).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with specific verbs ('find stocks by name/ticker' and 'screen by criteria') and identifies the resource ('stocks'). It distinguishes this search/screening tool from sibling tools like 'price_history', 'financial_statements', or 'stock_news' which serve different analytical purposes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for when to use different parameter combinations ('For simple name/ticker lookup, just pass query. For filtered screening, use the optional parameters'). However, it doesn't explicitly mention when NOT to use this tool or name specific alternative tools from the sibling list for different types of stock data needs.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully compensates by explaining the 'symbol' parameter's meaning ('Stock ticker symbol') and providing an example ('e.g. "AAPL"'). This adds essential semantics beyond the bare schema, though it doesn't detail format constraints (e.g., case sensitivity).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with specific verbs ('Get analyst earnings estimates and income statement history') and resource ('for a stock'), distinguishing it from siblings like 'analyst_consensus' (which lacks historical context) and 'financial_statements' (which is broader). It precisely identifies what data is retrieved: upcoming quarterly estimates (EPS/revenue) and recent annual income data.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context by specifying it provides 'upcoming quarterly estimates' and 'recent annual income data for trend context,' suggesting it's for earnings analysis. However, it doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'earnings_postmortem' (likely for past earnings) or 'financial_statements' (comprehensive data), leaving some ambiguity in sibling differentiation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: it specifies the tool analyzes 'the most recent (or specified) earnings report' and details the return data (e.g., 'post-earnings price reaction', 'guidance tone from transcript'). Annotations cover safety (readOnlyHint, non-destructive) and idempotency, but the description enriches this with operational scope and output specifics, without contradicting annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence succinctly lists key analysis areas, followed by a clear purpose statement and detailed return values. The parameter explanations are concise and necessary. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, making it easy to scan and understand.
