wshobson/maverick-mcp is a personal-use Model Context Protocol server that provides stock-market data, technical indicators, screening, and portfolio-tracking tools to AI clients. Individual traders and investors run it locally to analyze financial markets and portfolios, with optional support for backtesting and research. The catalogue entries are instructions for using the server’s capabilities.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01422 | $0.01422 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00711 | $0.00711 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00284 | $0.00284 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00142 | $0.00142 |
Grade A, and why
maverick-mcp AGENTS.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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Repository Guidelines
This is the canonical agent entry point for every assistant. CLAUDE.md is a
symlink to this file; there is no separate Claude- or Gemini-specific guidance.
Keep this file a table of contents, not an encyclopedia -- durable detail lives
in docs/, mapped by docs/INDEX.md.
Project Overview
MaverickMCP is a personal-use FastMCP server for local financial analysis in any MCP client. It provides stock data, technical analysis, screening, portfolio tracking, backtesting, research, watchlists, a trade journal, and a risk dashboard.
This project is for educational and informational use only. It is not financial advice, tax advice, or a trading system.
As of v1.0.0, the entire server lives in maverick/. The legacy
maverick_mcp/ package was deleted at the v1.0 cutover. If you are carrying
config or a database forward from a pre-v1.0 install, read
docs/runbooks/migrating-to-v1.md.
Project Structure
maverick/platform/: the shared seam -- database, cache, HTTP resilience, telemetry, and the BYOK LLM factory. The only place that reads env vars.maverick/market_data/,technical/,screening/,portfolio/: core domains, eachtypes.py->config.py->data.py->service.py->tools.py. Import contracts and structural tests enforce that layering.maverick/backtesting/,research/: optional-extra domains ([backtesting],[research]); each degrades to zero registered tools with one warning when its extra is absent.maverick/server/: FastMCP assembly (assembly.py), the CLI entry point (app.py), and prompts (prompts.py). Nothing importsmaverick.server.tests/: primary pytest suite, mirroring the domain tree plustests/structure(layering/naming checks) andtests/server.scripts/: local utility scripts (currently just indicator fixtures).docs/: canonical project documentation and catalog.
Documentation Map
Keep this file concise. Treat it as the table of contents for future agents.
Durable detail belongs in docs/.
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.

maverick-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository wshobson/maverick-mcp (660 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 1,422 tokens to every session, about $0.0071 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
