What is the Financial MCP server?

Financial MCP server is a hosted integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. MCP server for Financial Modeling Prep API with 250+ financial data tools.

What you get

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Financial Modeling Prep API, exposing 250+ financial data tools to AI assistants.

  • 250+ Financial Tools — across 24 categories — stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex, commodities, economics, and more
  • Dynamic Tool Management — — built on 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

Configuration and credentials

You will need 2 environment variables: FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN, YOUR_FMP_API_KEY. 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.

Setting it up

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Choosing this one

Among the cloud and infrastructure 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 imbenrabi; 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.

Before you rely on it

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • 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 financial mcp server does with a few real requests.
