Overview

The Financial Modeling Prep MCP server is the official remote MCP endpoint maintained by FMP. It wraps the same REST API that powers FMP's developer platform and exposes it as discoverable, schema-defined tools that any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude.ai connectors, Cursor, custom agents) can call directly. Once connected, the model can pull stock quotes, company profiles, full financial statements, analyst estimates, SEC filings, insider trades, ETF holdings, macroeconomic indicators, and more without you writing wrapper code.

The server organizes its 250+ underlying tools into roughly two dozen toolsets covering search and directory, company information, financial statements, ratios and key metrics, technical indicators, quotes and historical prices, market indices, news and press releases, SEC filings, insider and institutional trading, ETFs and funds, government (Senate/House) trades, crypto and forex, earnings transcripts and calendars, commodities, and economic data. Inputs are strictly typed (ticker, date range, period), which makes it well suited for agent reasoning over structured financial data.

Authentication is via your FMP API key, appended as a query parameter to the MCP endpoint. The free tier is intended for light testing, and a paid plan is generally required for production use, real-time quotes, and the full historical archive (30+ years of fundamentals).

Setup Guide

Prerequisites

An FMP account and API key from financialmodelingprep.com. Real-time data and full historical depth require a paid plan.
An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude.ai with connectors, Cursor, or a custom agent).

Server endpoint

The official remote endpoint is:

https://financialmodelingprep.com/mcp?apikey=YOUR_FMP_API_KEY

Claude Desktop / Claude.ai (custom connector)

In Claude Desktop or Claude.ai, open Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector and paste your FMP MCP URL as the Remote MCP Server URL:

https://financialmodelingprep.com/mcp?apikey=YOUR_FMP_API_KEY

For Claude Desktop clients that only support stdio servers, bridge to the remote endpoint with mcp-remote:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fmp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://financialmodelingprep.com/mcp?apikey=YOUR_FMP_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Open Settings, MCP, Add MCP Server and configure:

Name: fmp
Type: HTTP
URL: https://financialmodelingprep.com/mcp?apikey=YOUR_FMP_API_KEY

Notes

Keep your API key out of shared configs; treat the full URL like a secret.
Free tier keys are limited in call rate and historical depth. Upgrade for production agents.

Use Cases

Fundamental analysis on demand: pull 10 years of income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow for a ticker and have the agent compute margin trends or working capital changes.
Earnings prep: fetch the upcoming earnings calendar, prior transcripts, and analyst estimates, then summarize what to watch for an earnings call.
Screening and ranking: rank S&P 500 names by ROE, FCF yield, or revenue growth using key metrics and ratios endpoints.
Event monitoring: track insider trading, Senate/House trades, and recent 8-K filings on a watchlist.
Macro and cross-asset context: combine GDP, CPI, and rates data with equity and crypto quotes for portfolio commentary.

Example Prompts

"Pull Apple's last 5 years of income statements and chart revenue and operating margin trends."
"Which S&P 500 stocks have ROE above 25% and net debt to EBITDA below 1x?"
"Summarize NVIDIA's most recent earnings call transcript and flag any guidance changes."
"Show me all insider sales over $1M for TSLA in the past 90 days."
"Get the latest CPI and unemployment prints and overlay them with the 10Y yield."

Pros

Official, vendor-maintained remote endpoint, no self-hosting or container required.
Very broad coverage: 250+ tools spanning equities, ETFs, crypto, forex, commodities, filings, and macro data.
30+ years of historical fundamentals and intraday/real-time quotes on paid tiers.
Strict input schemas per tool make it reliable for agentic workflows.

Limitations

Real-time data, full historical depth, and useful rate limits require a paid FMP subscription.
API key is passed in the URL query string, which is convenient but requires care in how configs are stored and shared.
The sheer tool count (250+) can overwhelm smaller models; you may need to scope toolsets per task.

Alternatives

Alpha Vantage MCP community servers for equities and FX data.
Polygon.io MCP integrations for real-time market data and tick history.
imbenrabi/Financial-Modeling-Prep-MCP-Server, a self-hosted community implementation of the same FMP API.
