National Stock Exchange of India (NSEI) MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to NSEI trade data through a standardized interface. This server allows AI assistants like Claude to access financial data programmatically.

Features

• Get top Movers: Access the top movers — gainers and losers for any given time period (presently limiting upto any 3 months interval)
• Get latest trades: Retrieve latest trades for further analysis of the day’s movements

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• UV package manager (recommended) or pip
• Financial Modeling Prep API key

Setup

1. Clone this repository

2. Install dependencies using UV (recommended):

   uv venv
   uv pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   Or using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Running the Server

Using UV (Recommended)

UV provides faster dependency resolution and installation. To run the server with UV:

# Activate the virtual environment
uv venv activate

# Run the server
python nsei_mcp_server.py

The server will start and listen for connections on the default MCP port.

Using pip

# Create and activate a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Run the server
python fmp_mcp_server.py

Connecting with Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop can connect to MCP servers to access financial data. Here’s how to set it up:

1. Download Claude Desktop
2. If you’re running the server from previous steps, you may shut it down since Claude Desktop will spawn a local server by itself.
3. Edit claude_desktop_config.json:

    	"fmp_mcp_server": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "REPLACE ME WITH ABSOLUTE DIRECTORY TO REPO",
                "run",
                "fmp_mcp_server.py"]
             }

Now Claude can use the FMP data through the MCP interface. You can ask Claude to:

• Get top movers for the day from NSE
• Retrieve trades for a particular stock — “how did RIL perform today?”
• And more!

Example Queries for Claude

Once connected, you can ask Claude questions like:

• “How did SBI’s stock perform today?”
• “Was RIL among the top movers today?”
• “Find me the biggest losers by percentage points in today’s equity market trading”

Caching

Will be implemented in future versions

Logging

Logs are written to the logs directory with rotation enabled:

• Maximum log file size: 10MB
• Number of backup files: 5
