A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes FinBrain datasets to AI clients (Claude Desktop, VS Code MCP extensions, etc.) via simple tools. Backed by the official finbrain-python SDK (v2 API). Exposed over MCP by the finbrain mcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
You will need 2 environment variables: FINBRAIN_API_KEY, YOUR_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.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
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 ahmetsbilgin; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Finbrain MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
**Docker:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"finbrain": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "finbrain-mcp:latest"],
"env": { "FINBRAIN_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" }
}
}
}Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.
| Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| FINBRAIN_API_KEY | Credential the server authenticates with. | Yes |
| YOUR_KEY | Credential the server authenticates with. | Yes |
