Finviz MCP Server

Finviz mcp server connects Finviz to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive stock screening and fundamental analysis capabilities using Finviz data.

What Finviz does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive stock screening and fundamental analysis capabilities using Finviz data.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 3 tools directly:

• Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server
• Setup — The Setup tool exposed by this server
• StockData — Comprehensive stock information including: - Basic info (ticker, company, sector, industry) - Price and volume data - Technical indicators (RSI, Beta, moving

Installing the finviz mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Configuration

Before the server will start you need to supply 3 environment variables: FINVIZ_API_KEY, LOG_LEVEL, RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS_PER_MINUTE. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Requirements

• Python 3.11 or higher - Finviz Elite Subscription (required for full functionality) - Finviz API key (optional but recommended for higher rate limits) > Important: This MCP server requires a Finviz Elite subscription to access comprehensive screening and data features.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Finviz sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Prerequisites, Setup, StockData — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

• This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
• It will not start until its required credentials are present, so set those before wondering why the tools never appear.
• Maintained by tradermonty, written in Python.
• MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the finviz mcp server actually does with your data.
• Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
