Implementation Reference
- src/yfmcp/server.py:24-43 (handler)The main handler function for the 'get_ticker_info' tool. It fetches comprehensive stock information using yfinance.Ticker, converts timestamps to readable format, and returns the data as a JSON string. The @mcp.tool() decorator handles registration, and the Annotated parameter defines the input schema.
