Apple Stocks MCP

A macOS-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets an AI assistant read your own data from the Stocks app that ships with macOS - your watchlist, and the quotes, fundamentals and intraday charts the app has already cached on your Mac. Its 12 documented tools cover stock, watchlist, quote. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting finance tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

With this server connected, an agent can list every ticker in your Stocks watchlist (in order), search the watchlist by symbol or company name, open a symbol in the Stocks app so you can add it with one tap (no file is written), and report whether the server can run here (always available.
