TickerLayer Market Data MCP Server

About TickerLayer Market Data

Official hosted MCP server from TickerLayer (https://tickerlayer.com/mcp).

Read-only tools: get_quote, get_last_trade, get_snapshot, get_previous_close, get_history, list_symbols, search_symbols, get_market_status, get_market_sessions, get_market_holidays, get_bond_yield and open_markets_board. Every tool is annotated readOnlyHint: true; none places an order or changes the account.

Coverage: stocks from the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia (COUNTRY:TICKER symbols such as US:KO), forex, crypto, indices, ETFs, commodities, perpetual futures and government bond yields.

Auth: send an x-api-key header, or connect with the URL alone and sign in with OAuth 2.1 (discovery, PKCE, dynamic client registration). The free plan includes 3,000 calls every 30 days with no card (https://tickerlayer.com/signup). Setup guide for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Gemini CLI: https://tickerlayer.com/docs/mcp

Live status

The endpoint answered our daily check on Nov 13, 2026 and asks for sign-in (OAuth or an API key) before it lists its tools.

How to connect TickerLayer Market Data to Claude, Cursor or VS Code

TickerLayer Market Data runs as a hosted remote MCP server at https://mcp.tickerlayer.com/mcp. Add that URL to your MCP client's config (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code) and the tools appear immediately, no install required.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tickerlayer-market-data": {
      "url": "https://mcp.tickerlayer.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http tickerlayer-market-data https://mcp.tickerlayer.com/mcp. VS Code's .vscode/mcp.json uses a servers key instead of mcpServers (see how). Servers that require OAuth or an API key will prompt on first use.
