What data source does this server use?

It uses the Alpha Vantage API for stock market data, which requires a free or premium API key.

How does this differ from the Alpha Vantage MCP server?

While both use Alpha Vantage data, this server may have a different tool interface, feature set, or focus area. Check each repository for specifics on supported endpoints and configuration.

Are there rate limits I should know about?

Yes. Alpha Vantage free-tier keys typically allow 25 API calls per day. Premium keys offer higher throughput for more demanding workflows.

Stock Market Server MCP

Stock Market Server MCP is an MCP server that provides stock market data through the Alpha Vantage API. It allows MCP-compatible agents to retrieve stock quotes, time series data, and market indicators in a structured format. By exposing Alpha Vantage endpoints as MCP tools, it enables agents to access reliable financial data without managing raw API calls.

The server focuses on core stock market data retrieval. Users can query current stock prices, pull intraday and daily price series, and access other market data available through Alpha Vantage. This makes it a practical choice for agents performing stock research, building watchlist summaries, or gathering data for analysis workflows. The structured MCP output ensures clean data handoff to the consuming agent.

Setup requires an Alpha Vantage API key, which can be obtained for free with daily rate limits or through a paid plan for higher volume access. The server is configured in the MCP client environment alongside the API credentials. Users should plan their data requests around the available rate limits, especially on free-tier keys. The server is read-only and does not support trade execution, making it a safe data layer for equity research and analysis agent workflows.
