FinStack MCP connects developer assistants like Claude Code directly to Indian equity feeds and global market data. It handles real-time quotes from NSE and BSE, historical OHLCV series, and FII/DII institutional flows. The toolset stages simulated debates between distinct trading personas to produce buy, hold, or sell consensus scores.
The server tracks open interest spikes, block deals, and social sentiment across forums like Reddit and StockTwits. It also calculates portfolio risk metrics such as sector concentration and pledged shares. Running locally requires Python 3.10. Without a compatible Python runtime or uvx, the server process will fail to start.
What it helps with
- inspect quiet institutional accumulation via block deals and open interest
- run simulated analyst debates to evaluate buy or sell trade ideas
- check pre-earnings retail sentiment across Reddit and StockTwits
- calculate portfolio risk based on promoter pledges and sector concentration
Example prompts for the agent
- Give me a full stock brief on Reliance with different analyst perspectives
- Check if there is unusual accumulation on HDFC Bank through block deals
- Summarize sentiment on TCS before earnings using Reddit and news feeds
