## What is this?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI assistants call external data tools instead of guessing from training data. Equibles exposes US stock market and financial data as an MCP server: use it hosted at `https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp` (free API key, or OAuth with no key at all), or run it yourself from the open-source stack. Everything is parsed from the primary sources (SEC EDGAR, FINRA, FRED, CFTC, CBOE, USAspending, company IR sites), not from third-party estimates.

## Quickstart (hosted, 30 seconds)

1. Create a free account at [equibles.com](https://equibles.com) — no credit card required.
2. Create an API key at [`https://equibles.com/dashboard/apikeys`](https://equibles.com/dashboard/apikeys). It starts with `eq_` and is shown once, so copy it right away.
3. Connect your client with the URL `https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp` (see below).

ChatGPT and Claude (web and Desktop) can skip the key entirely and sign in over OAuth.

## Connect your AI client

### Claude Desktop / Claude web (claude.ai)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL `https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp` → sign in over OAuth (no key needed).

Key alternative: use the URL `https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp?api_key=eq_your_api_key`.

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http equibles https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp
```

Then run `/mcp` and choose **Authenticate** to sign in over OAuth.

Key alternative:

```bash
claude mcp add-json equibles '{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer eq_your_api_key"}}' --scope user
```

### ChatGPT

Add a developer-mode connector with URL `https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp` and complete the OAuth sign-in (or use the `?api_key=eq_your_api_key` URL).

### Cursor

Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "equibles": { "url": "https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer eq_your_api_key" } } } }
```

### VS Code (Copilot)

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"equibles","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp"}'
```

Or add a `.vscode/mcp.json` with a `"servers"` object using the same URL and `Authorization` header shape:

```json
{ "servers": { "equibles": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer eq_your_api_key" } } } }
```

### Any MCP client

Use the HTTP transport with URL `https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp`, authenticating with an `Authorization: Bearer eq_...` header or a `?api_key=eq_...` query parameter.

After connecting, see the full per-client guides at [https://equibles.com/docs/mcp](https://equibles.com/docs/mcp).
