About Mfapi India
Mfapi India is an MCP server for querying Indian mutual-fund data, including scheme searches and NAV history or latest values. It accesses MFAPI without a key and can also run locally over stdio.
Key features
- 01Search scheme codes by fund name
- 02Retrieve NAV history and metadata
- 03Get the latest NAV and date
- 04Keyless access
- 05Run locally over stdio
Use cases
- 01Find a scheme code by fund name
- 02Review recent NAV movements
- 03Get the latest NAV for a scheme
MCP support
It exposes scheme search, NAV history, and latest-NAV tools to MCP clients, through the Pipeworx remote server or as a local stdio server.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

MFAPI.in MCP — Indian mutual-fund NAV (net asset value) data.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1882+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_schemes | Find Indian mutual-fund scheme codes by fund name. Fetches the full MFAPI scheme list (~16,000 schemes) and filters client-side by case-insensitive token match (every word in the query must appear in the scheme name, any order — so "SBI Bluechip" matches "SBI Blue Chip Fund"). This is the way to obtain a scheme_code for get_nav_history and latest_nav. Note: this call downloads the full list (~1-2MB). Keyless. |
get_nav_history | Get a mutual-fund scheme's NAV (net asset value) history from MFAPI — fund house, category, ISIN, latest NAV, and the most-recent NAV points (newest first). Use search_schemes to find a scheme_code first (e.g. 118550). Keyless. |
latest_nav | Fast single-value lookup of a mutual-fund scheme's latest NAV (net asset value) from MFAPI. Returns the most recent NAV, its date, and basic scheme metadata. Use search_schemes to find a scheme_code first (e.g. 118550). Keyless. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mfapi-india": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mfapi-india/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mfapi-india/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1882+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_schemes \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"query":"SBI Bluechip"}'
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_schemes. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mfapi-india": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-mfapi-india"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-mfapi-india
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Mfapi India data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

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.
