About Qlib Mcp
Qlib MCP exposes Microsoft Qlib research capabilities to AI agents for market-data queries, factor analysis, and strategy backtesting. It covers A-share and U.S. market data and includes help for Qlib expressions.
Key features
- 01Initialize the Qlib data environment
- 02Query index constituents and historical data
- 03Get A-share and U.S. data download commands
- 04Run TopK strategy backtests
- 05Analyze factor IC and quantile returns
- 06Look up expression syntax
Use cases
- 01Query security prices and factor data
- 02Evaluate the effectiveness of a quantitative factor
- 03Backtest a TopK momentum strategy
MCP support
The MCP server exposes Qlib tools for data queries, factor analysis, strategy backtesting, and expression help to MCP clients.
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.

安装
前置依赖
# Python 3.10+(推荐 3.12)
pip install pyqlib mcp
下载 Qlib 数据(A 股日线,约 500MB)

使用示例
1. 初始化
调用 qlib_init,data_path = "~/.qlib/qlib_data/cn_data",region = "cn"
2. 查询 CSI300 成分股
调用 qlib_list_instruments,market = "csi300",start_date = "2024-01-01"
3. 获取平安银行近 60 日收盘价
调用 qlib_get_data,symbols = "SZ000001",fields = "$close,$volume",start_date = "2024-10-01"
4. 20 日动量因子 IC 分析
调用 qlib_factor_analysis,factor_expr = "$close / Ref($close, 20) - 1"
5. TopK 策略回测(CSI300,2020-2023)
调用 qlib_backtest_topk,market = "csi300",topk = 50,signal_field = "$close / Ref($close, 20) - 1"
Qlib 表达式语法速查
# 价格动量
$close / Ref($close, 20) - 1 # 20 日动量
# 技术指标
EMA($close, 12) - EMA($close, 26) # MACD
($close - Mean($close, 20)) / Std($close, 20) # 布林带位置
# 成交量因子
$volume / Mean($volume, 20) # 相对成交量
Corr($close, $volume, 10) # 价量相关性(聪明钱)
完整算子列表:调用 qlib_expression_help(topic="operators")

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.
