Summary
A live price in the conversation instead of a remembered one.
It closes the gap that makes assistants useless for markets: the number comes from Yahoo Finance at the moment you ask, and the news for the same ticker arrives beside it to explain the move.
What it is
A two-call server over yfinance: the price of a ticker across a period you choose, and the recent news for it. Stocks and cryptocurrencies go through the same calls - AAPL and BTC-USD are both just tickers.
What you get
- The price of a ticker over a period you name - a day, five days, a month - defaulting to one day
- Recent news articles for a ticker, five by default and as many as you ask for
- Stocks and cryptocurrencies through the same two calls, by ticker or alias
Requirements
Python with uv or uvx, or the Docker image, or the Smithery installer for Claude Desktop. No account and no key - it reads public Yahoo Finance data.
Setup effort
One command — docker run -i --rm finance-server
