Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Finance MCP Tools (11)
get_stock_quote
Latest price and daily change for one or more stocks, ETFs, or indices, from Yahoo Finance. Use Yahoo-style symbols: AAPL, MSFT, VOO, ^GSPC (S&P 500), ^IXIC (Nasdaq), RELIANCE.NS (India), 7203.T (Japan). Call search_symbols first if you only have a company name. Returns a single point in time — use get_price_history for a series or a period return, and get_crypto_price for cryptocurrencies, which are not on Yahoo symbols. Prices may be delayed up to ~15 minutes and are not exchange-official, so do not treat them as execution prices. Symbols are looked up independently: one bad symbol does not fail the rest.
get_price_history
Historical OHLCV candles for a stock, ETF, index, or FX pair from Yahoo Finance, plus the period return and a high/low/average summary. Use this for 'how has NVDA done this year?' or any question about change over time; use get_stock_quote when you only need the current price. Does not cover cryptocurrencies. Intraday intervals (1m–1h) are only retained by Yahoo for short ranges — pair them with 1d/5d/1mo, and use 1d or coarser for 1y and beyond, or the response comes back empty. Candles with no trade are omitted, so gaps in the series are expected.
search_symbols
Resolve a company or fund name to a ticker symbol using Yahoo Finance search. Call this first whenever you have a name rather than a symbol — "Apple" → AAPL — then pass the symbol to get_stock_quote or get_price_history. Covers equities, ETFs, and indices across global exchanges, so the same company may return several listings; prefer the one whose exchange matches the market you want. For US-listed companies you need SEC data on, get_sec_filings accepts a company name directly and needs no symbol lookup.
