alpha_vantage_mcp CLAUDE.md

alpha_vantage_mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from alphavantage/alpha_vantage_mcp. It costs 1,101 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for an Alpha Vantage MCP server, which lets AI tools access financial data from Alpha Vantage. It documents the code layout, technologies, development commands, and recurring patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, running, deploying, or extending the server, command-line tool, analytics pipeline, web viewer, or related examples.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent the project context it needs to work consistently, instead of making it rediscover the structure and setup each time.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

alpha_vantage_mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Alpha Vantage MCP Server

Official MCP server exposing Alpha Vantage financial data APIs (100+ endpoints) to LLMs.

Project Structure

Monorepo using uv workspace:

  • api/ — Shared API client library (alphavantage-core): HTTP client, tool registry, context vars
  • mcp/ — MCP server (stdio + Lambda HTTP): direct tool exposure, OAuth 2.0
  • cli/ — CLI tool (marketdata-cli): terminal access via Click
  • analytics/ — AWS analytics pipeline: log compaction, CloudWatch → S3 → Athena
  • examples/agent/ — OpenAI Agents example with session persistence
  • web/ — Next.js 15 artifacts viewer site (S3 + CloudFront deployment)
  • skills/ — Y-Agent skill definitions
  • scripts/ — Deployment and infrastructure scripts

Tech Stack

  • Python 3.13+, async/await throughout
  • uv package manager, hatchling build backend
  • AWS SAM for Lambda deployment (us-east-1)
  • Next.js 15 + Tailwind 4 for web
  • Key deps: mcp>=1.12.3, httpx, click, loguru, python-dotenv

Development

uv sync                                    # Install all deps
uv run marketdata-mcp-server $API_KEY      # Run stdio server
uv run marketdata-cli global_quote AAPL    # Run CLI
uv run pytest                              # Run tests

Key Patterns

Direct Tool Exposure

All ~100 real Alpha Vantage tools are listed directly as normal MCP tools in both the stdio and Lambda paths, with direct tools/call dispatch. Clients do their own (client-side) discovery over the listed tools. Each tool carries behavior hints (readOnly/destructive/openWorld), a derived human-readable title, and a permissive outputSchema (with matching structuredContent). The legacy TOOL_LIST/TOOL_GET/TOOL_CALL meta-tools (mcp/src/av_mcp/tools/meta_tools.py) are additively registered alongside the flat catalog in both transports, for backward compatibility with historical clients that still have them cached.

Tool Definition

  • Tools defined with @tool decorator in api/src/av_api/tools/ by category
  • Names auto-converted to UPPERCASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES
  • Entitlement parameter added dynamically for delayed vs. realtime data

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
