Overview

Your AI assistant can use our official MCP server to access real-time financial data — stock prices, financials, SEC filings, crypto, news, and more. There are two ways to connect:
  • Interactive (Claude, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, etc.) — authenticates via OAuth, no API key needed
  • Programmatic (scripts, automated workflows) — authenticates via API key

Getting Started

Choose your client below and follow the steps to connect.
These steps work for both Claude.ai (web) and the Claude Desktop app.
  1. Go to SettingsConnectors
  2. Click Add and enter the server URL: https://mcp.financialdatasets.ai/
  3. Click Add custom connector and complete OAuth authentication
  4. In any new chat, click + and enable Financial Datasets under Connectors
On Team and Enterprise plans, a workspace owner must add the connector in Admin settings first.

Authentication

The MCP server supports two authentication methods:
  • OAuth 2.1 — Used by interactive clients (Claude, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, etc.). When you first connect, you’ll be redirected to sign in with your Financial Datasets account. No API key is needed.
  • API Key — Used for programmatic access via the https://mcp.financialdatasets.ai/api endpoint. Include your key in the X-API-KEY header.
If you don’t have an account, sign up for free to get started. You can generate an API key from your account dashboard.

Example Usage

After connecting, try asking your AI assistant questions like:
  • “What is Apple’s current P/E ratio and market cap?”
  • “Show me Tesla’s income statement for the last 4 quarters”
  • “How has Bitcoin’s price changed over the past year?”
  • “Break down Amazon’s revenue by business segment”
