## Where each one fits

### NSE MCP

- A no-login way to pull recent NSE prices and index levels
- Market breadth, top movers and near-live index snapshots
- Learning and education, which is what NSE’s terms allow

**Where it stops**

- NSE only. Companies listed only on BSE are missing.
- Five years of history, unadjusted, three months per call
- No company financials, shareholding, flows or options
- Data is for informational use. NSE’s terms rule out commercial use and AI training.
- Two separate servers to connect for history and live data

### Tapetide MCP

- Researching any listed company, not only the ones you hold
- Screening the market and testing an idea against history
- Following flows, valuations and options across the market

**Where it stops**

- Does not place orders or read your live broker account
- Options data is end of day, not live
- No intraday candles; price history is daily and weekly
- Free plan is capped at 50 tool calls a day and 1,000 a month

## Questions that need both

- "Use NSE MCP for today’s market breadth, then use Tapetide to screen the top advancers for ROCE above 20% and low debt."
  NSE tells you what moved. Tapetide tells you which of those businesses are worth a closer look.
- "Compare Nifty 50’s current PE with its 20-year range, then show which constituents trade below their own five-year average PE."
  Index valuations go back 20 years on Tapetide, with company-level ratios to match.

## Common questions

### Is the NSE MCP free?

NSE does not publish a price for its MCP, and it works without an account or key. Its terms limit the data to informational and educational use, and rule out commercial use and AI model training.

### Does the NSE MCP have company financials?

No. It covers prices, corporate actions, market breadth and index-level PE, PB and dividend yield. There are no company income statements, balance sheets, cash flows, shareholding patterns or earnings calls. Tapetide covers all of these.

### Does the NSE MCP cover BSE stocks?

No. It covers about 5,000 NSE-listed equities. Tapetide covers about 8,100 companies across NSE and BSE, including SME listings and companies listed only on BSE.

### How much price history does the NSE MCP have?

Five years of daily end-of-day data, returned three months per call and not adjusted for splits or bonuses. Tapetide’s daily history goes back to 2000 for older listings, with adjustment factors so long-run returns stay correct.

### Can I use NSE MCP and Tapetide MCP together?

Yes. Both are remote MCP servers, so you can add both to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client and your assistant will pick the right one for each question.
