mcp yfinance

A simple wrapper around the classic yFinance that operates as an MCP tool.

Note - this tool passes back a Pandas Dataframe to the MCP host, so it expects that to be understood by the host. It was written using Goose as the MCP Host and Claude Sonnet 3.5 as the integrated LLM.

I've so far used it to fetch daily stock prices for individual instruments. When I've asked the LLM to perform some more advanced aggregations I've quickly hit token limits from Anthropic.

This tool is meant as a demo, starting point or a proof of concept.

Install

Register it as an extension in your MCP host.

On goose:

☁  mcp-yfinance [main] ⚡  goose configure    

This will update your existing config file
  if you prefer, you can edit it directly at /home/nicholasf/.config/goose/config.yaml

( O)> yf__history AAPL
I'll try getting Apple's stock history now.
─── history | yf ──────────────────────────
symbol: AAPL



Great! The command is now working correctly. The data shows Apple's stock performance over the last month (from February 19, 2025 to March 18, 2025). Here are some key observations:

1. The stock has shown a general downward trend over this period
2. Starting price (Feb 19): Around $244.66
3. Latest price (March 18): Around $214.16
4. Highest point: Around $250.00 (Feb 25)
5. Notable decline: A sharp drop occurred around March 11, falling from ~$235 to ~$223

The data includes Open, High, Low, Close prices, Volume, Dividends, and Stock Splits (though no dividends or splits occurred during this period).

Would you like to:
1. See the data for a different time period?
2. Look at a different stock symbol?
3. Get more detailed analysis of specific aspects of this data?

Just let me know what information would be most helpful!
