MCP server for Yahoo Finance data - stock quotes, historical prices, financials, company info, and news
Yfinance MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Yfinance directly instead of describing what you should do. MCP server for Yahoo Finance data - stock quotes, historical prices, financials, company info, and news.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Yahoo Finance data including stock quotes, historical prices, financial statements, company information, symbol search, and news.
Once Yfinance is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
get_quote — Get real-time stock quote data including price, change, volume, and key metricsget_historical — Get historical OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) price dataget_financials — Get company financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, or cash flow)get_company_info — Get company profile including sector, industry, description, and key statisticssearch_symbols — The search_symbols tool exposed by this serverget_news — The get_news tool exposed by this serverBuild — The Build tool exposed by this serverInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at yfinance-mcp 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.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Yfinance's toolset — get_quote, get_historical, get_financials and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; 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.
