Unofficial Yahoo Finance MCP Server
<!-- The MCP Registry looks for this line in the README on PyPI to accept the package as the one in server.json. --> <!-- mcp-name: io.github.benethos-hub/benethos-yahoo-finance-mcp -->
An MCP server that exposes Yahoo Finance data to MCP clients (such as Claude Desktop). It runs over stdio (default, for local clients) or an HTTP transport (for standalone / containerized hosting). Market data is sourced through the yfinance library, which uses Yahoo's unofficial endpoints.

What it is for
The server lets an MCP client such as Claude Desktop answer questions about markets from live Yahoo Finance data: the price of a share and how it moved, what a company earns, what analysts expect, who owns it, what an ETF holds, and how a sector or a market is doing. You ask in plain language, the client picks the tools, and the answer rests on what Yahoo returns rather than on what the model remembers.
