Top 5 Stocks MCP Server

Exposes the Top 5 Stocks API as MCP tools for Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible agents.

Setup

npm install

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "top5stocks": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TOP5STOCKS_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

TOP5STOCKS_API_KEY is only required for starter/pro/ultra-tier tools. Free tools (get_daily_watchlist_free, get_crypto_watchlist_free, cumulative-performance endpoints, get_api_metadata) work with no key.

Or once published, run directly via npx (no local clone needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "top5stocks": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "top5stocks-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TOP5STOCKS_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

Each tool maps 1:1 to an API endpoint (see index.js ENDPOINTS for the full list and plan requirements). All responses are raw JSON text from the live API.
