What is the Stock Ticker MCP MCP server?

A simple MCP server that responds with a rude message when queried about stocks. This is a demo implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Exposed over MCP by the stock ticker mcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

  • Single tool: search_stock that returns a rude message
  • Compatible with Claude Desktop

Adding it to your client

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

When to reach for it

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 LoSinCos; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Stock Ticker MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Caveats

  • 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.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the stock ticker mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
