MCP support
FinMCP exposes Yahoo Finance data tools to MCP clients. It can run locally over stdio or as an HTTP service, with optional API-key protection for public deployments.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEYahoo Finance MCP Server (Cloud)
Production-grade (Cloud) financial data infrastructure for AI assistants with enterprise-grade resilience, comprehensive data quality validation, and production-ready monitoring.

Deploy to the Cloud (Docker-based)
FinMCP ships with a Dockerfile and is fully Docker-based, so it runs on any platform that supports containers — Railway, Render, Fly.io, DigitalOcean App Platform, a VPS, or anything else.
Easiest option — Railway (recommended for beginners):
- Sign up at railway.com (referral link — gives you free credits)
- New Project → Deploy from GitHub repo → paste
https://github.com/Steve-sy/finmcp - Railway auto-detects the
Dockerfileand builds + deploys automatically - (Optional) Add
YF_MCP_API_KEYin Railway's Variables tab to protect your endpoint - Go to Settings → Networking → Generate Domain to get your public URL
- Your MCP endpoint is live at:
https://<your-app>.up.railway.app/mcp
Other platforms (Render, Fly.io, VPS, etc.):
Any platform that can run a Docker container works. Point it at this repo, and set the start command to node dist/http.js. The server listens on the PORT environment variable (automatically injected by most platforms) and defaults to 3333.
Optional: protect public deployments with YF_MCP_API_KEY and connect using ...?key=YOUR_SECRET.

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.
