Tapetide MCP Server

by Tapetide-hq

What is this?

Tapetide MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants to real-time Indian stock market data. It covers all ~8,200 stocks listed on NSE and BSE — from large-cap Nifty 50 to SME stocks.

Ask your AI to look up any stock, run a screener with 326 fundamental filters or real-time technical indicators, pull quarterly financials, check analyst consensus ratings, track your portfolio P&L, monitor FII/DII institutional flows, or get today's bulk deals — all through natural language.

Compatible with: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro, VS Code, Codex, Zed, Gemini, Grok, OpenCode, Antigravity, and any MCP-compatible client.

Related MCP server: mcp-indian-stocks

Quick Start

Option 1: Remote MCP (No install — claude.ai, chatgpt.com, Grok, Gemini)

Add this URL directly in your AI chat app:

https://mcp.tapetide.com/mcp

Authentication happens automatically via Google OAuth. No token needed.

Option 2: Remote MCP with Token (Claude Code, VS Code, Kiro, Zed)

For code editors that support URL-based MCP servers with custom headers:

  1. Get a free token at tapetide.com/settings/tokens

  2. Add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tapetide": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://mcp.tapetide.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 3: Local MCP via npm (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Gemini CLI, Kiro, OpenCode)

For stdio-based MCP clients. No cloning or building required — runs via npx:

  1. Get a free token at tapetide.com/settings/tokens

  2. Add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tapetide": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tapetide-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TAPETIDE_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Node.js 18+ required for the local option. Run node --version to check.

How It Works

┌─────────────────┐     stdio (JSON-RPC)     ┌──────────────────┐     HTTPS      ┌─────────────────────┐
│  AI Assistant   │ ◄──────────────────────► │  tapetide-mcp    │ ◄────────────► │  mcp.tapetide.com   │
│  (Claude, etc.) │                           │  (npm package)   │                │  (Cloudflare Worker) │
└─────────────────┘                           └──────────────────┘                └─────────────────────┘

The npm package is a lightweight stdio bridge with zero runtime dependencies. It:

  • Reads JSON-RPC from stdin, forwards to the remote Tapetide MCP server, writes responses to stdout

  • Auto-detects framing: Content-Length (VS Code, Claude Desktop) or newline-delimited JSON (Kiro, Claude Code)

  • Exchanges your refresh token for a 1-hour HMAC access token, auto-refreshes before expiry

  • Handles SSE responses from the remote server

  • Identifies your MCP client to the remote via User-Agent, and echoes the negotiated protocol version

  • Warns on stderr when the server rate-limits a call, naming the retry delay

All 52 tools and their logic run on the remote server — the npm package is just the transport layer. Because it forwards JSON-RPC verbatim, tools shipped on the remote are available immediately without upgrading this package.

Default

Description

TAPETIDE_TOKEN

Yes (local)

Personal API token from tapetide.com/settings/tokens

TAPETIDE_MCP_URL

No

https://mcp.tapetide.com

Override remote server URL

TAPETIDE_DEBUG

No

Set to 1 for debug logging to stderr

Rate Limits

Limits are per Tapetide account and identical across all three access methods (OAuth, remote token, and this npm bridge) — they follow your plan, not your transport.

Scope

Free plan

Paid plans

Per day

50 tool calls

Per your plan

Per calendar month

1,000 tool calls

Per your plan (unlimited on enterprise)

Burst

60 tool calls per minute

60 tool calls per minute

Only successful tool calls consume quota. Protocol traffic (initialize, tools/list) and burst-denied calls are free. Daily and monthly windows reset on IST boundaries.

When a limit is hit, the server replies with a normal JSON-RPC result carrying isError: true and a message naming the binding cap and its reset time, so your assistant relays it instead of retrying. Responses carry X-RateLimit-Reset, and denials add Retry-After. The numeric quota itself is not exposed as a header — check current usage at tapetide.com/settings/tokens.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Solution

TAPETIDE_TOKEN environment variable is required

Add your token to the env section of your MCP config

Token refresh failed (401)

Token expired. Generate a new one at tapetide.com/settings/tokens

Rate limit exceeded

Wait for reset (shown in error) or check usage at tapetide.com/settings/tokens

Server not responding

Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed (node --version)

Slow first request

Normal — pre-authenticates on startup. Subsequent requests are fast

Network errors

Check internet. The bridge needs to reach mcp.tapetide.com

Set TAPETIDE_DEBUG=1 for detailed logging to stderr.

Contributing

Issues and pull requests are welcome. For bugs, include the error message and your MCP client name/version.
