        "args": [
            "--directory",
            "/path/to/akshare_mcp_server",
            "run",
            "akshare-mcp"
        ],
        "env": {
            "AKSHARE_API_KEY": "<your_api_key_if_needed>"
        }
    }
}
  1. Restart Claude Desktop
  2. Select the AKShare MCP server from the available tools

  • Stock data queries
  • Fund data queries
  • Bond data queries
  • Futures data queries
  • Forex data queries
  • Macroeconomic data queries
  • And more...

Adding a New Tool

To add a new tool to the MCP server, follow these steps:

  1. Add a new API function in src/mcp_server_akshare/api.py:

    async def fetch_new_data_function(param1: str, param2: str = "default") -> List[Dict[str, Any]]:
        """
        Fetch new data type.
        
        Args:
            param1: Description of param1
            param2: Description of param2
        """
        try:
            df = ak.akshare_function_name(param1=param1, param2=param2)
            return dataframe_to_dict(df)
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Error fetching new data: {e}")
            raise
    
  2. Add the new tool to the enum in src/mcp_server_akshare/server.py:

    class AKShareTools(str, Enum):
        # Existing tools...
        NEW_TOOL_NAME = "new_tool_name"
    
  3. Import the new function in src/mcp_server_akshare/server.py:

    from .api import (
        # Existing imports...
        fetch_new_data_function,
    )
    
  4. Add the tool definition to the handle_list_tools() function:

    types.Tool(
        name=AKShareTools.NEW_TOOL_NAME.value,
        description="Description of the new tool",
        inputSchema={
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "param1": {"type": "string", "description": "Description of param1"},
                "param2": {"type": "string", "description": "Description of param2"},
            },
            "required": ["param1"],  # List required parameters
        },
    ),
    
  5. Add the tool handler in the handle_call_tool() function:

    case AKShareTools.NEW_TOOL_NAME.value:
        param1 = arguments.get("param1")
        if not param1:
            raise ValueError("Missing required argument: param1")
        
        param2 = arguments.get("param2", "default")
        
        result = await fetch_new_data_function(
            param1=param1,
            param2=param2,
        )
    
  6. Test the new tool by running the server and making a request to the new tool.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
