LABSCO SUMMARY

Filters at the source, not after the fact.

The domain allowlist and the minimum-score floor both cut noise before it reaches the model, which matters for a query type where the low-quality results outnumber the good ones. Both symbol and company name go into the query, so a ticker that is also a common word does not derail it. One key, one provider, and Tavily bills you for usage.

What it is

An MCP server that turns a stock symbol and company name into a news search against the Tavily API. The query templates are built for the finance case, so you get results about the company rather than everything matching the ticker string.

What you get

News for a ticker, addressed by symbol and companyName, with maxResults controlling how much comes back
Search depth you can raise per query — searchDepth set to advanced for a deeper pass
A relevance floor — minScore filters out weak matches before they reach the conversation
Domain-specific filtering — includeDomains restricts results to sources you trust, such as reuters.com and bloomberg.com
Multiple customizable search query templates, with type-safe operations in TypeScript

Requirements

A Tavily API key, set as TAVILY_API_KEY. Node.js v16 or higher. Run it with npx -y search-stock-news-mcp@latest, or add it from the Cline marketplace. In Cursor the command form is env TAVILY_API_KEY=your-api-key-here npx -y search-stock-news-mcp@latest. Package search-stock-news-mcp 1.0.12, MIT licensed.

Setup effort

One command plus a key — npx -y search-stock-news-mcp@latest, then supply credentials

See installation options

USE CASES

01

Catching up on a company before a call

Search by ticker and company name with the result count set to what you will actually read.

02

Keeping the sources credible

Restrict the search to the wire services and financial press you trust, so blogs and aggregators never appear.

03

Digging into a story that matters

Raise the search depth to advanced for that one query rather than for everything.

04

Cutting weak matches

Set a minimum relevance score so borderline results are dropped before they cost context.
