MCP | Tickerbot

Pick your AI tool

One server, one URL: https://api.tickerbot.io/mcp. Every client takes it and signs you in with OAuth in the browser, which creates your free account if you don't have one. No key to copy. A coding agent can do the whole thing itself from the setup prompt.

Any coding agent

Claude Code, Cursor, Codex. Paste one line in the chat; the agent adds the server, waits for you to sign in, and verifies with three reads.

Paste in the agent’s chat. What it will do: /agent-setup/SKILL.md

Claude Code

One command. Signs you in with OAuth in the browser. No key to copy.

Run it, then /mcp → tickerbot → Authenticate.

Claude.ai (web + mobile + desktop)

Paste Tickerbot’s MCP URL as a custom connector. OAuth handles the rest. Install once on web or desktop. Mobile inherits the connector automatically.

Show install steps

claude.ai (web or desktop) → Customize → Connectors.
+ Add custom connector. Name it "Tickerbot." Paste https://api.tickerbot.io/mcp as the URL. Save. Refresh and allow tools.
Open any chat. Ask something like “What’s NVDA’s RSI right now?” — Claude detects the auth requirement and prompts you to connect.
Sign in to tickerbot.io if asked, then click Allow on the consent screen.
Done. Ask Claude anything that needs market data; it routes through Tickerbot automatically. The connector follows your account, so it’s available in the mobile app too.

Paste into claude.ai → Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector.

ChatGPT Plugin

Add Tickerbot as a plugin in ChatGPT. OAuth handles the rest.

Show install steps

chatgpt.com → Settings → Plugins → toggle Developer mode on.
Still in Plugins, click Add plugin.
Name it "Tickerbot." Set Connection to Server URL, paste https://api.tickerbot.io/mcp. Leave Authentication on OAuth.
Check "I understand and want to continue." Click Create. ChatGPT walks you through the OAuth and consent screen.
In any chat: click + in the composer → enable Tickerbot for the conversation. Ask away.

Paste into ChatGPT → Settings → Plugins → Add plugin → Server URL.

Cursor

JSON config. Paste into ~/.cursor/mcp.json, reload, sign in when Cursor prompts.

Paste into ~/.cursor/mcp.json

VS Code (Copilot)

JSON config. Workspace or user file. Sign in when VS Code prompts.

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json (workspace) or ~/.config/Code/User/mcp.json (user)

Windsurf

JSON config. Single MCP file (Windsurf spells the key serverUrl). Sign in when Windsurf prompts.

Paste into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

Zed

JSON config under the context-servers section of settings. Local server with a key; Zed has no remote OAuth.

Paste into ~/.config/zed/settings.json (under "context_servers")

Other MCP CLIs

Codex CLI, Aider, OpenClaw. Each tool exposes an mcp add equivalent.

Without OAuth

For a client that can't sign in through the browser, run the server locally with an API key instead. Same tools. A key is free, no card: tickerbot.io/dashboard/keys.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tickerbot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@tickerbot/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "TICKERBOT_API_KEY": "tb_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code equivalent: claude mcp add tickerbot --env TICKERBOT_API_KEY=tb_live_... -- npx -y @tickerbot/mcp-server. VS Code uses the key servers, Zed context_servers (the Zed card above carries that shape).

Not on MCP?

The live tool catalog is GET https://api.tickerbot.io/mcp/tools — the same array the server serves, with each tool’s JSON Schema and the endpoint it maps to, ready to drop into any function-calling runtime. The REST surface behind every tool is at /openapi.yaml.

32 tools

One for every call an agent should make; each maps to one REST endpoint with the same name, params, and shape.
