fmp-mcp

Financial intelligence for your AI agent — powered by live market data.

Give Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI) the ability to analyze stocks, screen markets, compare peers, read earnings calls, and track sector rotations — all grounded in real financial data from Financial Modeling Prep.

This isn't a raw API wrapper. Each tool is purpose-built for a specific analytical task, composing multiple data sources into structured, analysis-ready outputs designed for AI consumption.

Tool surface below was verified against fmp/server.py on 2026-04-30. The repo build exposes 20 MCP tools; the two estimate-revision tools require the estimates extra plus database access for useful live results.
