What is the AkTools MCP server?

AkTools MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on AkTools directly instead of describing what you should do. MCP Server for stock and crypto.

What you get

基于 akshare 的 MCP (Model Context Protocol) 服务器,提供股票、加密货币的数据查询和分析功能。

Setting it up

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at mcp-aktools on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Configuration and credentials

You will need 4 environment variables: OKX_BASE_URL, BINANCE_BASE_URL, NEWSNOW_BASE_URL, NEWSNOW_CHANNELS. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the aktools mcp server does with a few real requests.

Choosing this one

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by aahl; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

It connects AkTools to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with AkTools directly.
