// setup

Three ways to connect.

Add TickerAPI as a Connector on claude.ai for zero-config setup, or connect via Claude Desktop or Claude Code with an API key.

The fastest way to get started. Add TickerAPI as a Connector in your Claude.ai settings — no API key needed.

Open Customize in your Claude.ai sidebar, then go to Connectors.

Click Add Connector and enter the server URL:

connector url

https://mcp.tickerapi.ai

Uses OAuth 2.1 — no API key to manage. Works on claude.ai web and Claude Desktop.

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json file. Claude Desktop will start the MCP server locally via npx.

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tickerapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tickerapi-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TICKERAPI_KEY": "tapi_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this command to connect Claude Code to TickerAPI's remote MCP server. No local install needed.

terminal

# Add TickerAPI as a remote MCP server
claude mcp add tickerapi https://mcp.tickerapi.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer tapi_your_api_key"

// in practice

How it looks in Claude.

Once connected, Claude calls TickerAPI tools automatically when you ask about markets. No special syntax needed.

You

What's oversold today?

Tool call: scan_oversold

{ "timeframe": "daily" }

Claude

There are several assets in confirmed oversold conditions today. A few notable ones: INTC is in a deep oversold zone with RSI well below historical norms and a Bollinger squeeze. NKE is showing multi-indicator oversold confluence with a bearish trend that may be exhausting. Both have been in oversold territory for several consecutive sessions, which historically precedes a bounce for these assets.

You

How does INTC look overall?

Tool call: get_summary

{ "ticker": "INTC" }

Claude

INTC is in a confirmed downtrend with strong oversold momentum readings. The valuation zone shows it's historically cheap relative to its own P/E and P/B history. Insider activity has been mildly bullish over the past quarter. The technical picture is bearish, but the combination of extreme oversold conditions and historically low valuation makes it worth watching for a mean-reversion setup.

// state changes

Track state changes effortlessly.

Most market data APIs return point-in-time snapshots. TickerAPI tracks state transitions — Claude sees what changed, not just what is.

// what claude sees

What Claude sees.

Every tool returns categorical facts — not raw OHLCV data. Claude can branch on "oversold" without needing to know what RSI > 70 means.
