Pipe Stock Analysis

Self-hostable, read-only financial-market MCP (Model Context Protocol, a standard for AI clients to invoke external tools) server for Taiwan-listed securities and global stocks. It retrieves market data and computes reproducible indicators; it does not make investment decisions or place trades.

Why this repository exists

Run your own instance. This project does not route other people to the maintainer's server, bundle API credentials, require OpenConnector, or require a hosted account.

• The public default calls FinMind and Finnhub directly with credentials from your local .env.

• FinMind is optional and supports anonymous access with lower limits. Finnhub-backed tools require your own API key.

• Advanced deployments can select the OpenConnector adapter so this process holds only a narrow runtime token.

• .env, OAuth state, private keys, SQLite databases, and generated credentials are ignored by Git.

Three-step self-hosting

# 1. Clone
git clone https://github.com/Gratia2533/pipe-stock-analysis.git && cd pipe-stock-analysis

# 2. Create local configuration; optionally add FINMIND_TOKEN / FINNHUB_API_KEY
cp .env.example .env

# 3. Start with the default Direct adapter on a standard Docker bridge network
docker compose up -d --build

To enter a Finnhub API key without exposing it in shell history, use the interactive helper and choose whether to restart the services:

./scripts/set-finnhub-key.sh

Verify both local services:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8010/healthz
curl http://127.0.0.1:8011/healthz

• Internal MCP without OAuth: http://127.0.0.1:8010/mcp

• OAuth-protected MCP: http://127.0.0.1:8011/mcp

Both endpoints are published only on 127.0.0.1. Keep port 8010 private; expose only port 8011 through a public HTTPS reverse proxy or tunnel.

Data backends

Direct (default)

DATA_BACKEND=direct
FINMIND_TOKEN=
FINNHUB_API_KEY=

The service starts without either optional credential, so TWSE, TPEx, MOPS, news, and deterministic analytics remain available. FinMind uses anonymous limits when its token is empty. A Finnhub tool reports a configuration error only when called without FINNHUB_API_KEY.

OpenConnector (advanced, Linux/WSL)

Use this mode when a dedicated OpenConnector already exposes the curated FinMind and Finnhub Actions. The advanced Compose injects only its runtime token; upstream credentials remain in OpenConnector's encrypted credential store. For fail-closed separation, FINMIND_TOKEN and FINNHUB_API_KEY must be unset in this mode.

DATA_BACKEND=openconnector
OPEN_CONNECTOR_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8001
OPEN_CONNECTOR_RUNTIME_TOKEN=your-local-runtime-token

Because a bridged container cannot reach a connector bound to host loopback, the advanced Compose file intentionally uses Linux/WSL host networking while both services remain bound to 127.0.0.1:

docker compose -f compose.openconnector.yaml up -d --build

Direct and OpenConnector modes use the same MCP tools and analytics code. OpenConnector is an adapter, not a separate branch or repository.

Tools

• Historical prices with FinMind → TWSE fallback

• Latest TWSE / TPEx official close quotes

• TWSE market and sector indices, ETF rankings, listing/IPO pipeline, and trading calendar

• Valuation, monthly revenue, institutional flows, financial reports, margin trading

• MOPS material announcements and recent news

• Deterministic technical, fundamental, financial-health, institutional-flow, and margin summaries

• Finnhub global symbol search, quotes, candles, company profiles, financial metrics, reported statements, and company news

Local development

Requires Python 3.11+ and uv.

cp .env.example .env
uv sync --dev
set -a; source .env; set +a
MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1 uv run finance-mcp

For stdio clients on the same host:

MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio uv run finance-mcp

Hermes configuration

For a local HTTP deployment:

hermes mcp add pipe-stock-analysis --url http://127.0.0.1:8010/mcp
hermes mcp test pipe-stock-analysis

For stdio, point your MCP client to uv run finance-mcp from this repository. Configure the command and its environment in your own local client configuration; never commit tokens into this repository.

Analysis skill

The reusable cross-market Hermes analysis workflow is included at skills/stock-analysis/SKILL.md. Install it directly from the raw GitHub URL:

hermes skills install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gratia2533/pipe-stock-analysis/main/skills/stock-analysis/SKILL.md

OAuth deployment

Compose starts a separate OAuth-protected instance on port 8011 while leaving the port 8010 instance available for trusted local clients. Set FINANCE_OAUTH_ISSUER_URL, FINANCE_OAUTH_RESOURCE_URL, FINANCE_OAUTH_USERNAME, and FINANCE_OAUTH_PASSWORD for the public deployment. OAuth runtime data is stored in a persistent private volume and excluded by .gitignore.

The issuer and resource URLs must use the same public HTTPS hostname that forwards to 127.0.0.1:8011.

Verification

uv run ruff check .
uv run pytest -q

Scope and disclaimer

• Read-only data and deterministic calculations only.

• No orders, broker accounts, portfolio access, or personalized investment recommendations.

• Data availability, latency, and accuracy depend on upstream providers. Verify material information independently.

• This is software, not investment advice.

References and inspiration

• FinMind: upstream open-source project behind the optional FinMind market-data integration. This repository does not vendor FinMind code or credentials.

• Finnhub: optional upstream provider for global-stock data. Endpoint availability depends on the user's Finnhub plan.

• TradingAgents: conceptual reference for role-based research workflows. This server deliberately keeps data retrieval and deterministic calculations separate from agent orchestration and investment decisions.
