get_stock_priceLABSCO SUMMARY
Equities, FX and crypto answer to one client, so a cross-asset comparison stops being a tour of three data sources.
The surface reads and nothing more — no tool places an order, keeps a watchlist or sets an alert. Resolution is a parameter rather than a separate tool: get_daily_time_series takes outputsize and get_technical_indicator takes both indicator and interval, so the same call shape covers a quick check and a longer history.
What it is
An Alpha Vantage client covering 5 tools across equities, foreign exchange, crypto and technical indicators.
What you get
- get_stock_price returns a real-time quote for a symbol, across NYSE, NASDAQ and other listed exchanges.
- get_daily_time_series returns daily price history for a symbol, with outputsize deciding how far back it reaches.
- get_forex_rate returns the live rate for a from_currency and to_currency pair.
- get_crypto_price returns a cryptocurrency's price quoted into a chosen market.
- get_technical_indicator returns an indicator chosen by name and interval — moving averages such as SMA and EMA among them — for one symbol.
Requirements
ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY in the server's env, and the Alpha Vantage account it belongs to. A free key is metered at 25 API calls a day.
Setup effort
Build from source — clone the repository and build it, then point your client at the built build/index.js
USE CASES
01
Pricing a position that is not denominated in your currency
Exchange rates take a from_currency and to_currency pair, and crypto prices take the market to quote into, so a conversion is one call rather than a lookup plus arithmetic.
5 tools
Listed in project docs. Your client may show a different list.
