## What it does

The server exposes 13 tools. You get a live quote with day and 52-week range, OHLCV history for a chosen period and interval, a company profile, annual income statement, balance sheet and cash flow, a side-by-side comparison of up to 10 tickers, options chains, holders, dividend and split records, plus symbol lookup by company name. Answers arrive as markdown unless you ask for `response_format: "json"`.

Nothing to build by hand: the `npx` wrapper sets up its own isolated Python environment and pulls dependencies on the first launch, a one-time step of roughly a minute. Your machine needs Python 3.10+ and Node.js 16+. Outgoing calls share one browser-impersonating HTTP session, which lowers the chance of tripping Yahoo Finance rate limits.

Clients that only accept a URL, n8n's MCP Client Tool node among them, can use `--http`. The same 13 tools are then served over Streamable HTTP at `/mcp`, bound to `127.0.0.1:8000` unless you change it. There is no authentication, so binding to a wider interface is a decision about who can reach your machine. DNS-rebinding protection stays active: names other than `localhost`, `127.0.0.1` and `host.docker.internal` must be listed with `--allowed-host`, or the request comes back as `421 Misdirected Request`.
