psx-mcp-server

A Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude and other MCP agents live Pakistan Stock Exchange data — quotes, intraday and end-of-day history, indices (KSE-100 and 17 others), company fundamentals, dividends, and announcements — sourced from the public PSX Data Portal. No API key required.

Quick start

The server runs via uv — uvx fetches and runs it in one step, so there is nothing to install manually.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add psx -- uvx psx-mcp-server

Claude Desktop — add to claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "psx": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["psx-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Any MCP client: run uvx psx-mcp-server (stdio transport). Requires uv (install guide).

Example

You: Which PSX stocks gained the most today, and what's HBL trading at?

The agent calls get_market_snapshot and get_quote, and answers:

TOP 5 GAINERS:
  TCORPR2  +22.62%  Rs.5.42
  PINL     +10.52%  Rs.10.51
  HICL     +10.05%  Rs.11.50
  TSPL     +10.02%  Rs.18.12
  CLVL     +10.02%  Rs.22.41
  breadth: 296 advancers / 180 decliners

HBL: Habib Bank Limited | current Rs.318.15 | P/E 7.43
KSE100: 187,454.69 (+1.12%)

Tools

Resources: psx://symbols (full ticker directory), psx://sectors (sector names), psx://indices (current index values).

Prompts: analyze_stock(symbol) (single-stock research brief), market_overview() (today's market wrap).

Notes

• Prices are in PKR; timestamps are Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5, no DST).

• PSX trades Monday–Friday, ~09:30–15:30 PKT. Outside those hours, quotes reflect the last session and intraday data may be empty.

• Responses are cached briefly (30 s intraday … 24 h for the symbol directory) to be polite to the portal. Override the request identity with the PSX_MCP_USER_AGENT environment variable.

Development

git clone https://github.com/ahmedraza-96/psx-mcp-server
cd psx-mcp-server
uv sync

uv run pytest                 # unit tests (mocked, offline)
uv run ruff check . && uv run ruff format --check .

# Live tests hit the real portal — run during PKT market hours:
uv run pytest -m live --override-ini "addopts="

# Re-record test fixtures if PSX changes its markup:
uv run python scripts/record_fixtures.py

Architecture: parsers/ are pure functions (raw response in, dataclasses out) tested against committed fixtures in tests/fixtures/; client.py owns all HTTP I/O (caching, retries, error mapping); tools.py composes the two into MCP tools. See CHANGELOG.md for release history.
