ApexTick MCP Server (@apextick/mcp-server)

apextick/apextick-starter-kit MCP server

Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ApexTick (https://docs.apextick.com/mcp), built on @modelcontextprotocol/sdk.

Provides AI agents (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode) with low-latency access to 66,400+ global equities, ETFs, FX pairs, and cryptocurrencies, valuation multiples, technical indicators (RSI14, MACD, SMA20/50/200, ATR14, volatility30), earnings surprise context, GICS sector movers, and options implied volatility screening.

Tools Implemented (src/index.mjs)

  1. get_quote: Consolidated quote for one ticker (price, change, % change, 52-week range, abbreviated volume, and timestamp).
  2. analyze_ticker: Concurrent quote + fundamentals snapshot (session range position, gap %, distance from 52-week high, and P/E, P/B, P/S, TTM Revenue, EPS, ROE, dividend yield).
  3. explain_price_move: Correlates session price move with technical indicators (RSI14, SMA20/50/200, MACD, ATR14) and recent/upcoming earnings surprises.
  4. get_watchlist_brief: Batched quote table for up to 20 symbols in a single request.
  5. screen_market: Cross-market discovery screener returning top gainers, losers, volume leaders (with optional GICS sector and min_market_cap filters), and liquid high-IV options underlyings.
  6. get_options_chain: Option chain, expiration dates, and Black-Scholes Greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega, rho) lookup for an underlying ticker.
  7. get_price_history: Historical OHLCV bars (1m to 1mo) and optional corporate event calendar (earnings surprises, dividend ex-dates, and stock splits).
  8. search_tickers: Symbol and instrument directory search across 66,400+ global equities, ETFs, FX pairs, indices, and cryptocurrencies.

New to MCP?

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.
