Stock News MCP | CLI Trader

Stock News MCP is an MCP server that aggregates stock-related news and sentiment data for MCP-compatible agents. It provides structured access to market news, company-specific articles, and sentiment indicators, adding a qualitative information layer that complements the quantitative data available through price and financial data servers.

News and sentiment data play an important role in equity research and trading decisions. This server allows agents to retrieve recent news articles related to specific stocks or the broader market, along with sentiment signals that can inform analysis. By structuring this information through the MCP protocol, it enables agents to incorporate news-based reasoning into their workflows — for example, flagging unusual sentiment shifts or providing context around price movements.

Setup involves configuring the server in the MCP client environment and ensuring any required API credentials for news data sources are provided. The specific news sources and sentiment analysis capabilities depend on the implementation — users should consult the repository documentation for details. The server is read-only and does not execute trades. It works well as part of a multi-server setup where price data, fundamental data, and news data each come from specialized MCP servers feeding into a unified agent workflow.
