About Alpha Vantage MCP

Alpha Vantage's official hosted MCP server exposes financial-data functions for stocks, options, fundamentals, currencies, commodities, economic indicators, and technical analysis.

What you can use it for

  • Retrieve stock and options data
  • Inspect fundamentals and earnings
  • Query foreign exchange, cryptocurrency, commodity, and economic indicator data
  • Calculate technical indicators and retrieve market status
Connection and setup
Hosting
Both: hosted remote server or local Python CLI
Transport
Streamable HTTP (remote); stdio (local)
Endpoint
https://mcp.alphavantage.co/mcp
Authentication
Remote OAuth consent uses an Alpha Vantage API key. Local mode accepts the API key as a command-line argument. A legacy API-key-in-URL remote method is documented as deprecated and should not be used.

Requirements

  • Alpha Vantage account and API key
  • For local mode: uv/uvx runtime
  • Market-data availability and request entitlements depend on the Alpha Vantage API key and service limits

Setup steps

  1. Recommended: add https://mcp.alphavantage.co/mcp as a remote MCP endpoint.
  2. Start OAuth and enter the Alpha Vantage API key on Alpha Vantage's authorization page; do not place the key in chat or a committed config.
  3. For local mode, configure command uvx with args ["marketdata-mcp-server", "<ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY>"] and store the key in the client's local secret configuration where supported.
  4. Reload the MCP client and verify with a harmless request such as MARKET_STATUS or a ticker lookup.
Tools 120

120 names are listed in the official reference table of contents. The hosted MCP uses API-key authorization; tools/list behavior can be credential-gated.

Limitations and notes
  • API data access, request limits, and real-time features depend on the account/API key and the upstream Alpha Vantage service.
  • The vendor marks URL-query API-key authentication as legacy/deprecated.
  • Tool names correspond to API operations; returned data may be subject to upstream plan and entitlement constraints.
Original sources
