Do I need a Bloomberg Terminal subscription to use this?

Yes. This server interfaces with Bloomberg Terminal data, which requires an active Bloomberg subscription and the Bloomberg API (BLPAPI) configured on your machine.

What asset classes does it cover?

It provides access to Bloomberg data across stocks, options, futures, and forex — the breadth depends on your Bloomberg subscription and data entitlements.

Is this an official Bloomberg product?

No. This is a community-built MCP server that interfaces with Bloomberg's API. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Bloomberg LP.

Bloomberg MCP | CLI Trader

Bloomberg MCP is an MCP server that provides structured access to Bloomberg Terminal data for MCP-compatible agents. It bridges the Bloomberg API (BLPAPI) with the MCP protocol, enabling agents to query real-time and historical data across stocks, options, futures, and forex. For users who already have Bloomberg Terminal access, this server unlocks that data for agent-driven workflows without manual terminal interaction.

The multi-asset coverage is a key differentiator. Bloomberg provides institutional-grade data spanning equities, fixed income, derivatives, commodities, and foreign exchange. Through this MCP server, agents can access the breadth of Bloomberg’s data offerings — subject to the user’s subscription and data entitlements. This makes it one of the most comprehensive data sources available in the MCP ecosystem, suitable for professional and institutional trading workflows.

Setup requires a Bloomberg Terminal subscription, the Bloomberg API (BLPAPI) installed and configured, and standard MCP server registration. The dependency on Bloomberg infrastructure means this server is not a casual addition — it is best suited for users who already use Bloomberg professionally and want to extend that access to their agent workflows. The server is read-only and focused on data retrieval. Users should be aware of Bloomberg’s data licensing terms when using this integration.
