## Features

- Real-time stock prices with intelligent fallback mechanism
- Four professional tools for diverse financial queries
- Full type hints and comprehensive docstrings
- Robust error handling and logging throughout
- Works with Gemini API and Claude (MCP protocol)
- Offline capability via CSV fallback
- Production-grade code quality

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
# Clone and navigate to project
cd Stock\ MCP

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate (Windows PowerShell)
.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Configure API key
echo GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here > .env

# Run server
python mcp_server.py
```

### Test Locally

```bash
# In another terminal
python mcp_client.py

# Then enter queries:
# > What is the price of AAPL?
# > Compare AAPL and MSFT
```

## Available Tools

| Tool | Purpose | Input | Output |
|------|---------|-------|--------|
| get_stock_price | Get current stock price | symbol | Price with source |
| compare_stocks | Compare two stocks | symbol1, symbol2 | Comparison with % difference |
| get_stock_fundamentals | Get financial metrics | symbol | P/E, market cap, dividend yield, 52-week range |
| get_market_summary | Get major indices | None | S&P 500, Dow Jones, NASDAQ data |

## Tool Examples

### get_stock_price
```
Input:  "AAPL"
Output: "Current price of AAPL is $175.64 (from Yahoo Finance)"
```

### compare_stocks
```
Input:  "AAPL", "MSFT"
Output: "AAPL ($175.64) is 46.88% lower than MSFT ($330.21)"
```

### get_stock_fundamentals
```
Input:  "AAPL"
Output: Apple Inc (AAPL) - Financial Fundamentals
        Current Price: $175.64
        Market Capitalization: $2.90T
        P/E Ratio: 28.50
        Dividend Yield: 0.42%
        52-Week Range: $154.30 - $199.62
```

### get_market_summary
```
Output: Market Summary
        S&P 500 (^GSPC): 4,783.45 (+0.52%)
        Dow Jones (^DJI): 42,221.33 (-0.15%)
        NASDAQ (^IXIC): 15,043.24 (+1.23%)
```

## Integration Examples

### With Groq API

Your mcp_client.py automatically handles this:

```bash
python mcp_client.py
# Type: "Compare Apple and Microsoft"
# Groq analyzes your query, calls the right tool, returns answer
```

### With Claude

Configure in your MCP settings:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stock": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["mcp_server.py"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/Stock MCP"
    }
  }
}
```

Then ask Claude:
```
"What's Apple's P/E ratio?"
"Compare Tesla and Ford stock prices"
"How are the markets doing?"
```

## Technical Details

### Data Sources

| Source | Type | Latency | Coverage | Fallback |
|--------|------|---------|----------|----------|
| Yahoo Finance API | Primary | 1-2s | 7,000+ securities | Yes |
| CSV File | Fallback | <50ms | User-maintained | No |

### Performance

- Single stock lookup: 1-2 seconds (API) or <50ms (CSV)
- Stock comparison: 2-4 seconds
- Market summary: 2-3 seconds (parallel requests)
- Error recovery: Automatic fallback with <50ms penalty

### Error Handling

All tools implement intelligent fallback:
1. Try Yahoo Finance API first
2. If unavailable, use CSV file
3. If both fail, return helpful error message
4. All failures logged for debugging

### Tool Implementation Pattern

```python
@mcp.tool()
def get_stock_price(symbol: str) -> str:
    """Get the current stock price."""
    symbol = symbol.strip().upper()
    logger.info(f"get_stock_price called for {symbol}")
    
    price, source = get_stock_price_with_fallback(symbol)
    
    if price is not None:
        return f"Current price of {symbol} is ${price:.2f} (from {source})"
    else:
        return f"ERROR: Could not retrieve price for {symbol}"
```

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

```bash
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here  # Required for Gemini integration
STOCK_CSV_PATH=/path/to/stocks_data.csv  # Optional, defaults to ./stocks_data.csv
```

### CSV Fallback Format

```csv
symbol,price
AAPL,175.64
MSFT,330.21
GOOGL,135.45
```
