FinStack MCP
FinStack MCP is an India-first financial data and research engine for MCP clients. It gives Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible tools a structured interface for NSE/BSE market data, global market coverage, fundamentals, analytics, and watchlist-ready research workflows.
The repo is public on purpose. It is the open-source engine, trust layer, and distribution channel for the broader FinStack product line.

Overview
FinStack MCP is designed around a simple product split:
finstack-mcpis the open-source MCP engineFinStack Briefis the paid delivery layer built on top of it
That means this repo focuses on the part that should be public and reusable:
- financial data access for Indian and global markets
- structured tools that work inside MCP clients
- reusable analytics for research workflows
- a base layer for future brief, alert, and dashboard products
Why This Exists
Most finance MCP servers are either too generic, too thin, or too dependent on API-key-heavy setups. FinStack MCP is meant to be more practical:
- India-first coverage instead of treating NSE/BSE as an afterthought
- broad enough to be useful on day one
- simple enough to install with one package
- compatible with local MCP workflows before any hosted product exists

Daily Brief Direction
The first commercial layer on top of FinStack MCP is not "generic pro access." It is a repeatable workflow:
- pull Indian market state
- enrich it with watchlist context
- compose a structured brief
- deliver it through email, Telegram, WhatsApp, or a hosted dashboard
That is the bridge from open-source distribution to paid recurring value.

- PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/finstack-mcp/

The hosted commercial layer is not public checkout yet. Public pricing should currently be treated as interest capture and positioning, not as a fully self-serve SaaS checkout.
