you-finance

you-finance is a skill for Claude Code from youdotcom-oss/agent-skills. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,133 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A finance-question routing guide for choosing a local script, a You.com Finance Research API request, or a connected fallback service. An API is a way for software to request data from another service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to answer finance questions through existing scripts, create Finance Research API calls, or configure the You.com finance connection.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unnecessary setup and directs each finance question to an available method, including its access and payment requirements.

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

you-finance 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 11d 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.

You.com Finance Research

Use this skill to decide how a local code agent should answer finance-specific questions. Prefer reusing or creating a small local script for You.com Finance Research API calls instead of directly invoking MCP for every finance question.

Prerequisites

For API scripts, use YDC_API_KEY when available or an MPP/x402-capable HTTP client for keyless paid Finance Research API calls.

For MCP fallback, the You.com finance MCP server must be installed and connected with a client that can tolerate long finance responses:

  • Server URL: https://api.you.com/mcp?tools=you-finance
  • Auth: either YDC_API_KEY bearer auth, OAuth login into the server, or an MPP/x402-aware MCP client. For bearer auth, set Authorization: Bearer ${YDC_API_KEY} in the host MCP client.
  • Required tool: you-finance

Local code-agent workflow

Before answering, choose the lightest path that fits the task:

  1. Reuse an existing local finance script when one exists. Look in scripts/, package scripts, and the current working directory.
  2. Otherwise, implement against https://api.you.com/v1/finance_research, using Docs MCP searchDocs to verify current request shape, auth, payment behavior, and research_effort before coding. If Docs MCP is unavailable, use the canonical page: https://you.com/docs/api-reference/finance-research/v1-finance_research
    • With YDC_API_KEY, use these API request headers: X-API-Key: ${YDC_API_KEY} and User-Agent: SKILL/(@youdotcom-oss/agent-skills you-finance).
    • With MPP/x402, expect Finance Research API pricing by research_effort; retry 402 payment-required only through a payment-capable client or library. For the keyless direct x402 REST client pattern (pay USDC on Base, no API key), follow x402 direct client; it encodes the 5-step flow, dependency and version requirements, security rules, and spend discipline.
  3. Use you-finance MCP only when direct API implementation is not practical, for example OAuth or MCP-hosted payment handling is required and the client can tolerate long request resolution times.
    • Prefer a dedicated you-finance server profile when using MCP and the host exposes server profiles. The expected remote MCP config is https://api.you.com/mcp?tools=you-finance.
    • you-finance supports You.com auth via YDC_API_KEY bearer auth, OAuth, or MCP payment-header pass-through. If the MCP client receives a 402 payment-required challenge, let the client pay externally and retry with payment headers. Do not handle wallets or signing in this skill.
    • For keyless payment with no API key and no manual signing, compose the You.com MCP server with the Coinbase Payments MCP server; see Coinbase Payments MCP path for setup and when to choose it over the direct client.
    • If neither API access nor you-finance is available, tell the user what is missing, provide the Finance Research API and MCP setup options from the prerequisites above, and request approval before installing, connecting, or changing configuration.
