LABSCO SUMMARY

One key for seven markets, and the hosted server is the same code you can self-deploy.

The reason to reach for this over a per-exchange API is symbol coverage in a single account: US, HK and mainland China equities sit next to forex, metals and crypto pairs. If you would rather not send symbols through someone else's endpoint, the server source is in the repository and runs under Docker.

What it is

A hosted market-data endpoint for AI clients, backed by the Python server in this repository. One connection covers forex, precious metals, indices, US stocks, HK stocks, A-shares and crypto.

What you get

Live ticker prices for symbols across seven market types, from GBPUSD to AAPL.US to 600519.SH
Candlestick history at a chosen interval, for charts and backtests
Order-book depth and recent trades for a symbol
A lookup of which symbols are available in a given market
13 MCP tools over the hosted endpoint, or the same code self-deployed from the repository's mcp/ directory

Requirements

An API key from tickdb.ai, sent as the X-TickDB-Key header to the hosted endpoint at https://mcp.tickdb.ai/ over HTTP. To run it yourself instead, clone the repository: the mcp/ directory runs on Python 3.11+ or as a Docker image, and mcp/DEPLOYMENT.md walks through both.

Setup effort

Paste a URL with a key — add the endpoint to your client

See installation options

USE CASES

01

Checking a price across markets in one question

Ask for AAPL.US, 700.HK and BTCUSDT together instead of opening three data sources.

02

Pulling history for a backtest

Request candlesticks at your interval and length, then hand the series straight to the analysis you were going to run anyway.

03

Looking at the order book before sizing a trade

Read depth for a symbol to see where the liquidity actually sits.

04

Keeping data flow inside your own infrastructure

Deploy the server from the repository's mcp/ directory rather than pointing at the hosted endpoint.
