Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant fetch Yahoo Finance stock quotes, historical prices and multi-stock comparisons through an Apify endpoint.

What you can do
Get a real-time quote for a single stock ticker, or quotes for several tickers at once. Retrieve historical price data for a stock. Compare financial metrics across multiple stocks. Requests are forwarded from the local process to the nexgendata Apify endpoint and results are returned to the assistant.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up current or historical stock prices and compare companies during research or analysis, without leaving the chat. It suits quick market-data lookups rather than trading or portfolio management.
Requirements
Runs as a local stdio process, typically launched with npx or installed globally via npm, so Node.js is needed. Desktop client configuration (for example Claude Desktop or Cline) is required. The APIFY_TOKEN environment variable is optional; without it the server uses a rate-limited public endpoint. Network access to Apify is required.
Before you install
Tool calls are forwarded to a third-party Apify endpoint, so the tickers and queries you make are sent outside your machine. APIFY_TOKEN is a secret credential; keep it out of shared configuration files. The public endpoint without a token is rate-limited. Data comes from Yahoo Finance via Apify and may be delayed or inaccurate; it is not investment advice.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Yahoo Finance Mcp Server in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
