How do I use stock-scanner-mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@stock-scanner-mcp what are the top gaining stocks today?" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

stock-scanner-mcp

npm version npm downloads

A modular MCP server for Claude Code and Claude Desktop that provides real-time access to stock and crypto market data. Scan markets, check technicals, monitor insider trades, track earnings, analyze options flow, and optionally save your own watchlists and thesis notes from one server.

64 tools across 13 modules — 9 modules work with zero API keys, including an optional stateful Market Workspace.

Quick Start

Three steps to get the full experience: server config, trading skills, and workspace setup.

Step 1 — Add the server to your MCP config

Copy this complete config block into your config file:

Claude Code: ~/.claude.json (global) or .mcp.json (project-local)
Claude Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stock-scanner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "stock-scanner-mcp", "--enable-workspace"],
      "env": {
        "FINNHUB_API_KEY": "your-key-here",
        "ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY": "your-key-here",
        "FRED_API_KEY": "your-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

This gives you 46 tools immediately with no API keys. API keys are optional and free — they unlock 18 additional tools for real-time quotes, news, earnings, and economic data. See API Keys below for where to get them.

Minimal config — if you don't want workspace or API keys, use this instead:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stock-scanner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "stock-scanner-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
This gives you 39 stateless tools with no local data storage.

Restart Claude Desktop after saving. Claude Code picks up the config automatically.

Step 2 — Install the trading skills

Run this command in your terminal:

npx -p stock-scanner-mcp stock-scanner-install-skills

This installs 19 slash commands (like /morning-briefing, /analyze-stock AAPL, /setup-market-workspace) into ~/.claude/skills/ so they're available in every Claude Code session. See Trading Skills for the full list.

Step 3 — Set up your workspace

Run /setup-market-workspace in Claude Code. It asks three quick questions:

> /setup-market-workspace

Setting up your market workspace — I'll ask a few quick questions to get started...

1. What kind of trader or investor are you?
   (e.g., options trader, swing trader, long-term investor, crypto-focused)

   → "I'm mostly a swing trader, also watch crypto"

2. Which names or assets should I save to your core watchlist?
   (e.g., AAPL, MARA, BTC, Gold)

   → "MARA, HOOD, SOFI, BTC, ETH"

3. Do you want a daily or weekly market review?

   → "Daily"

Once answered, it saves your profile and creates a core watchlist:

✓ Workspace saved

  Profile     swing trader | daily review
  Watchlist   core — MARA, HOOD, SOFI, BTC, ETH

You can also skip the skill and ask Claude directly: "Set up my workspace — I'm a swing trader, create a core watchlist with MARA, HOOD, BTC, daily reviews."

That's it. You now have 64 tools, 19 skills, and a personalized workspace. Try /workspace-morning-brief for your first tailored market scan.

What You Can Do

"What are the top gaining stocks today?"
"Show me technicals for AAPL on the hourly timeframe"
"Any insider trades for TSLA in the last 30 days?"
"What's the options chain for AAPL expiring next Friday?"
"What's the current fed funds rate and CPI trend?"
"Convert $10,000 USD to EUR"
"Set up a core watchlist with MARA, HOOD, and BTC"
"Give me a personalized morning brief for my saved watchlist"

Highlights

Stock scanning — screen by price, RSI, volume, market cap with custom filters
Technical analysis — RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, moving averages, pivots across multiple timeframes
Options flow — chains with Greeks, unusual activity detection, max pain, implied move
Insider trades — parsed Form 4 transactions with buy/sell/grant details
Earnings & news — calendar, analyst ratings, company news, short interest
Crypto — real-time quotes, technicals, trending coins, market stats
Macro — CPI, GDP, fed funds rate, economic calendar, yield curve data
Forex — 31 currency pairs from ECB, conversion, historical rates
Sentiment — CNN Fear & Greed Index, Crypto Fear & Greed
Market Workspace — save a trading profile, named watchlists, and thesis notes for personalized workflows across sessions

Trading Skills

19 ready-made workflows that chain multiple tools into structured analysis. Each skill orchestrates 5-14 tools in parallel and outputs a verdict with direction, confidence, and key levels.

Category	Skills	What They Do
Daily Routines	`/morning-briefing`, `/market-close-recap`, `/crypto-briefing`	Pre-market scan, EOD recap, crypto overview
Analysis	`/analyze-stock TICKER`, `/compare TICKER1 TICKER2`, `/analyze-crypto COIN`	Deep dives and side-by-side comparisons
Strategies	`/swing-setup`, `/earnings-play TICKER`, `/options-flow TICKER`, `/dividend-screen`	Swing trades, earnings options, smart money, income screen
Macro	`/macro-dashboard`, `/fed-watch`, `/sector-rotation`	Economic indicators, Fed outlook, sector rotation
Risk	`/insider-tracker TICKER`, `/smart-money TICKER`, `/risk-check TICKER`	Insider trades, institutional flow, pre-trade risk scorecard
Workspace	`/setup-market-workspace`, `/workspace-morning-brief`	Guided setup for saved profile/watchlist context and a personalized brief driven by your stored names

Skills degrade gracefully when optional API keys are missing. Workspace skills require --enable-workspace in the server config.

Market Workspace

The Market Workspace is an optional stateful layer that remembers your trading context across sessions — your trading style, named watchlists, and investment thesis notes per symbol. Skills like /workspace-morning-brief use this context to deliver personalized market scans instead of generic ones.

What you can do with it

/workspace-morning-brief — personalized pre-market scan that reads your profile and watchlist, checks earnings, news, and price action for your names, and highlights what matters today
Add more watchlists — ask Claude: "Create a watchlist called 'earnings' with AAPL, MSFT, GOOG"
Track investment theses — save your reasoning per ticker so the system monitors it for you (see below)
Update anytime — "Add NVDA to my core watchlist" or "Change my review cadence to weekly"

Thesis Tracking

Save your investment reasoning per ticker — direction, key levels, catalysts, and timeframe — so the system can monitor it across sessions.

Save a thesis:

"My thesis on NIO: bullish above $6.35, that confirms the uptrend. Below it the setup is invalid."

Claude saves the structured thesis:

Field	Value
Direction	Bullish above $6.35
Bear case	Below $6.35 uptrend is invalidated
Catalyst	Technical breakout at $6.35
Timeframe	Swing

How it works in practice: When you run /workspace-morning-brief, the brief cross-references your saved theses against live price action:

NIO drops to $6.10 → "NIO broke below your $6.35 thesis floor — re-evaluate."
NIO rallies to $7.20 → "NIO holding above your $6.35 level — uptrend thesis intact."

Without a thesis, the brief just reports a price change. With a thesis, it tells you whether the move matters to your plan.

Each thesis supports five fields: summary, bullCase, bearCase, catalyst, and timeframe. You can save up to 200 theses per workspace.

Configuration reference

Option	Default	Description
`--enable-workspace`	off	Activate the 7 workspace tools
`--data-dir <path>`	`~/.stock-scanner-mcp`	Directory for `workspace.json` storage
