A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the [Financial Modeling Prep](https://financialmodelingprep.com/) API, exposing 250+ financial data tools to AI assistants.

## Features

- **250+ Financial Tools** across 24 categories — stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex, commodities, economics, and more
- **Dynamic Tool Management** — built on [toolception](https://www.npmjs.com/package/toolception) for runtime enable/disable of toolsets via meta-tools
- **Three Server Modes** — Dynamic (meta-tools), Static (pre-loaded toolsets), or All Tools (default)
- **Flexible Deployment** — use the hosted instance or self-host via npm, Docker, or source
- **HTTP/SSE Transport** — compatible with Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and MCP registries

## Quick Start

### Hosted Instance (Fastest)

No installation required. Connect directly:

```
https://financial-modeling-prep-mcp-server-production.up.railway.app/mcp
```

Provide your `FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN` in session configuration and start using 5 meta-tools to load toolsets on demand.

### Self-Hosted (One-Liner)

```bash
npx financial-modeling-prep-mcp-server --fmp-token=YOUR_FMP_API_KEY
```

Or install globally:

```bash
npm install -g financial-modeling-prep-mcp-server
fmp-mcp --fmp-token=YOUR_FMP_API_KEY
```

## Installation

**Prerequisites:** Node.js 25.3.0 or higher (for v2.6.0+). For older versions (v2.5.x and below), Node.js 20+ is required.

Choose the method that fits your workflow:

- **NPM** — `npm install -g financial-modeling-prep-mcp-server`
- **Docker** — build from source or pull a pre-built image
- **Source** — clone and run with `npm install && npm run build`

See [docs/INSTALLATION.md](docs/INSTALLATION.md) for detailed steps per method.

## Configuration

The server supports three operational modes controlled via CLI arguments or environment variables:

| Mode | How to Enable | Description |
|------|---------------|-------------|
| **Dynamic** | `DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY=true` | Starts with 5 meta-tools; load toolsets at runtime |
| **Static** | `FMP_TOOL_SETS=search,company` | Pre-loads specified toolsets on session creation |
| **All Tools (default)** | *(default)* | Loads all 250+ tools immediately |

Precedence: for mode and tool sets, CLI args > Environment variables > Defaults. A session `?config=` token overrides the server's `FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN` for that session.

See [docs/CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CONFIGURATION.md) for the full configuration reference.

## Usage

Connect to the server via HTTP/SSE transport:

- **Claude.ai / Claude Desktop** — add as a remote connector (Settings > Connectors)
- **Custom clients** — POST to `/mcp` with `mcp-client-id` header
- **MCP registries** — Smithery.ai, Glama.ai, and others

See [docs/USAGE.md](docs/USAGE.md) for client-specific setup, session headers, and request examples.
