## What it does

finlab-ai connects Claude Code to a hosted MCP server over streamable HTTP. The service is read-only and exposes `list_strategies`, `get_strategy`, `get_stock_evidence`, `get_data_catalog`, `get_finlab_docs`, and `how_to_start`. The `get_strategy` tool can return Python code for a strategy.

Its documentation covers 900+ data columns across 80+ tables, the `sim()` API, resampling, metrics, and 60+ complete strategy examples. The hosted MCP server needs no local package installation; add its endpoint to the client instead. The catalog lists support for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Cline, and Zed.

Because the server is read-only, it cannot modify data or place trades. Claude Code can connect with one command.

## Requirements
- Remote server: `https://mcp.finlab.finance/mcp`

## When to use it
- find available trading strategies
- retrieve Python code for a strategy
- inspect evidence for a stock
- search the data column catalog
- open quantitative trading documentation

## Example prompts
