What is the Tapetide MCP server?

Tapetide MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants to Indian stock market data. Available as a remote server (URL-based, Google OAuth) and a local npm package (token-based, higher rate limits). It provides 26 tools covering stock search, company profiles, financials, shareholding, price charts, technicals, analyst ratings, forecasts, a stock screener with 100+ filters, FII/DII flows, bulk deals, F&O data, IPOs, MTF, SLBM, market valuations, signals, heatmaps, and more — for all NSE and BSE listed stocks.

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard created by Anthropic that lets AI assistants connect to external data sources and tools. Think of it as a universal plug for AI — one protocol that works across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and other AI tools. Instead of each AI building custom integrations, MCP provides a single standard way to connect. Tapetide implements this protocol to give your AI assistant access to Indian stock market data.

How does authentication work?

Tapetide offers three auth methods. Remote MCP (via URL) uses Google OAuth — just sign in with your Google account when prompted, no keys needed. Remote + Token — use a personal API token as a Bearer header, no browser sign-in needed (great for code editors). Local MCP (via npm) uses API tokens via the TAPETIDE_TOKEN environment variable. Personal tokens work for both remote and local MCP. Get a free token at tapetide.com/settings/tokens. All methods are free.

Is it free?

Yes. Tapetide MCP is completely free. Remote MCP (OAuth) has 100 requests per hour and 1,000 per day. Remote + Token and Local MCP (npm) have 1,000 requests per hour and 4,000 per day. Just sign in with Google or grab a free API token to get started.

What AI tools are supported?

Tapetide MCP works with Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT (Pro/Team/Enterprise/Edu), Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Kiro, Gemini CLI, Cline, Zed, and any MCP-compatible client. Web apps connect directly via URL. Code editors and desktop apps can use either the remote URL (via npx mcp-remote) or the local npm package (npx -y tapetide-mcp with API token).

Can I use Tapetide MCP with Claude.ai?

Yes. Go to Claude.ai → Customize → Connectors → + → Add custom connector. Enter the server URL (https://mcp.tapetide.com/mcp), sign in with Google when prompted, and your Tapetide tools will be available in any chat. Works on Free (1 connector), Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans.

Can I use Tapetide MCP with ChatGPT?

Yes. ChatGPT supports remote MCP servers through Connectors. Go to Settings → Connectors → Create, enter the Tapetide MCP server URL (https://mcp.tapetide.com/mcp), and sign in with Google when prompted. Available on Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise, and Edu plans.

Can I use Tapetide MCP with Cursor?

Yes. Two options: (1) Remote — create a .cursor/mcp.json file with the npx mcp-remote config, browser opens for Google sign-in on first use. (2) Local — create a .cursor/mcp.json file with the npx tapetide-mcp config and your API token. Both require Node.js. See the setup instructions above for exact configs.

Can I use Tapetide MCP with VS Code?

Yes. Two options: (1) Remote — create a .vscode/mcp.json file with the URL config, VS Code natively supports remote MCP URLs. (2) Local — create a .vscode/mcp.json file with the npx tapetide-mcp config and your API token. See the setup instructions above for exact configs.

Can I use Tapetide MCP with Gemini?

Yes, through Gemini CLI. Add the npx mcp-remote config to your ~/.gemini/settings.json file. Run gemini in your terminal and a browser window will open for Google sign-in on first use. The Gemini web app does not yet have a built-in MCP connector UI.

Can I use Tapetide MCP with Grok or DeepSeek?

Grok and DeepSeek do not currently have native MCP client support in their web interfaces. However, you can use DeepSeek or Grok models through MCP-compatible clients like Cursor or VS Code, and connect Tapetide MCP there. As MCP adoption grows, we expect more platforms to add support.

Do I need Node.js installed?

For the local npm package (npx -y tapetide-mcp), yes — Node.js 18+ is required. For the remote MCP, it depends on your client: web apps like Claude.ai and ChatGPT connect directly via URL with no Node.js needed. Desktop apps like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf use npx mcp-remote which requires Node.js. VS Code and Kiro support direct URL connections without Node.js.

What data is available?

Tapetide covers ~8,200 stocks listed on NSE and BSE. You get: real-time quotes, quarterly and annual financials (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, ratios), shareholding patterns (promoter, FII, DII, public), historical OHLCV price data up to 2,000 days, 20+ technical indicators (RSI, SMA, EMA, MACD, Bollinger Bands, ADX, ATR, Stochastic, MFI, CCI, Williams %R, Supertrend, pivot points), analyst consensus ratings and target prices, EPS/revenue/EBITDA forecasts, a stock screener with 100+ filters and 47 preset screens, FII/DII institutional flows with F&O participant positioning, FPI sector-wise data, bulk/block deals, F&O ban list, IPOs with subscription data, MTF, SLBM, market valuations (PE/PB/DY for major indices), technical signals, stock heatmaps for 16 indices, sentiment-tagged news, corporate actions, dividends, and mutual fund holdings.

What are the 26 tools available?

The tools are organized into 7 categories: Search & Discovery (search_stocks, get_trending_stocks), Company Data (get_company_profile, get_stock_events, get_stock_ownership), Quotes & Prices (get_stock_quote, get_batch_quotes, get_price_history), Financials & Analysis (get_financials, get_shareholding, get_forecasts), Stock Screener (screen_stocks, run_preset_screen, get_screener_presets), Market Insights (get_market_pulse, get_fii_dii_detail, get_fpi_sectors, market_valuations, market_signals, market_heatmap), and Market Data (market_deals, market_fno_ban, market_deliveries, market_ipo, market_mtf, market_slbm). Your AI assistant picks the right tool automatically based on your question.

What screener presets are available?

There are 47 preset screens across 5 categories. Intraday: crossover stocks, rise/fall, recovery, supertrend, gainers, open=low, open=high, high volume, losers. Price/Volume: 1-week/4-week/52-week high and low breakouts, upper/lower circuit, potential and unusual high volume. Fundamental: best quarterly results, capex stocks, large/mid/small cap, negative working capital, potential multibagger, undervalued near 52W high. Technical: death/golden crossover, momentum, overbought/oversold RSI, resistance breakout R1/R2/R3, support breakout S1/S2/S3, narrow range. Candlestick: bearish/bullish engulfing, dark cloud cover, hammer, piercing, shooting star, three black crows, three white soldiers.

How is this different from using the Tapetide website directly?

The MCP server gives your AI assistant direct access to the same data that powers tapetide.com, but through natural conversation. Instead of navigating pages and clicking through tabs, you just ask questions in plain English. Your AI can also combine data from multiple tools in a single response — for example, comparing financials of two companies while checking their technical indicators and analyst ratings simultaneously.

Is the data real-time?

Quotes are near real-time (delayed by a few minutes during market hours). Financials, shareholding, and other fundamental data are updated daily after market close. Market data like FII/DII flows, bulk deals, and F&O ban lists are updated as soon as exchanges publish them. Historical OHLCV data goes back up to 2,000 trading days.

What are the rate limits?

Remote MCP: 100 requests per hour and 1,000 per day. Local MCP (npm): 1,000 requests per hour and 4,000 per day. Each tool call counts as one request. Batch operations (like get_batch_quotes for 20 stocks) count as a single request. Rate limit headers (X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Reset) are included in every response.

Is this the best MCP server for stock research?

Tapetide is the most comprehensive stock market MCP server available for Indian markets. With 26 tools covering all NSE and BSE stocks, it offers more depth than any other financial MCP server — including a stock screener with 100+ filters, FII/DII institutional flow tracking, 20+ technical indicators, analyst forecasts, and real-time market data. Available as both remote MCP (Google OAuth) and local npm package (API token). Free to use.

Can I use this for algorithmic trading or automated stock research?

Yes. The MCP server provides all the data you need for automated equity research — real-time quotes, historical OHLCV data up to 2,000 days, technical indicators, screener with 100+ filters, and market signals. You can build AI agents that screen stocks, analyze financials, track institutional flows, and generate research reports. The stock market API integration works through any MCP-compatible AI agent framework.

How does this compare to using a stock market API directly?

Traditional stock market APIs require you to write code, handle authentication, parse responses, and build UIs. With Tapetide MCP, your AI assistant handles all of that — you just ask questions in natural language. The AI automatically picks the right tools, combines data from multiple endpoints, and presents the analysis in a readable format. It is the easiest way to integrate Indian stock market data into any AI workflow.

Can I analyze Nifty 50, Bank Nifty, and other indices?

Yes. The market_valuations tool provides PE, PB, and dividend yield data over time for Nifty 50, Nifty 500, Bank Nifty, Nifty IT, Nifty Midcap 50, and Nifty Next 50. The market_heatmap tool shows all constituent stocks for 16 indices with price changes, market cap, and sector data. You can also screen stocks within specific indices using the stock screener.

Does it work with machine learning and LLM stock prediction workflows?

Yes. The get_price_history tool provides up to 2,000 days of daily OHLCV data with delivery percentage — ideal for training ML models. Combined with technical indicators, fundamentals, and shareholding data, you have a complete feature set for machine learning stock prediction. The MCP protocol makes it easy to integrate this data into any LLM-based analysis pipeline.
