Mboum MCP Server | Stock and Options Data for AI Agents

Tools

What the agent can do

Each tool is a read-only call to an endpoint listed in the API documentation. The agent picks the tool and the parameters, and you see the result in the chat.

Quotes and history

Quotes for one or many symbols, price history at intraday or daily intervals, and symbol search.

Company data

Company profile and statistics, financial statements, analyst ratings and price targets, institutional holdings, insider trades, and SEC filings.

News and market lists

Recent news by ticker, market movers, and predefined screener lists.

Calendars

Earnings, dividends, economic events, and IPOs.

Options

Options chains, unusual options activity, and IV rank and percentile for the day's most active options.

Indicators and crypto

RSI, SMA, and MACD for a symbol, and crypto quotes.

Setup

Connect your client

Create a key on the API Tokens page, then add the server to your client. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key, and keep that file out of shared repositories.

Claude Code

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http mboum https://api.mboum.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
    "servers": {
        "mboum": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://api.mboum.com/mcp",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
            }
        }
    }
}

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or to .cursor/mcp.json in one project:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mboum": {
            "url": "https://api.mboum.com/mcp",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
            }
        }
    }
}

Other MCP clients

Use these settings in any client that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP:

URL: https://api.mboum.com/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Some web apps only connect to servers that sign in with OAuth. This server uses your API key in a header instead, so use a client that lets you set request headers.

FAQ

Questions about the MCP server

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants call outside tools. The Mboum MCP server lists market data endpoints as tools, and your client calls them when a question needs data.

How many requests will an agent use?

It depends on the question. An agent may call several tools to answer one question, for example a quote, then news, then price history. Ask for specific tickers, dates, and filters, and check the usage on your dashboard.

Is the data investment advice?

No. The data is for information only, and the Terms explain that Mboum doesn't guarantee it is accurate or complete. An AI agent can also misread data, so check anything important before you act on it.

How is my API key protected?

Your client sends the key to api.mboum.com in the Authorization header over HTTPS. If a key leaks, revoke it on the API Tokens page and create a new one.

Does it cost extra?

There is no separate charge for the MCP server, and it works on every plan. Each tool call counts against your monthly allowance by the endpoint's weight, the same as calling the API yourself. Listing tools and other protocol messages don't count.

Why was a result shortened?

Large results are cut so they fit in the model's context, for example to the most recent 120 price bars or the first 50 items. The result says what was cut. Narrow the request, or call the REST API for the full response.

Can I use the data in my AI tools?

Yes. The Terms allow you to connect your key to AI assistants and agents you use, and to send the returned data to your AI model provider to answer your own requests. Your plan's license still applies: personal use plans stay personal, and you may not publish, resell, or share the data without written approval.
