🌐 Usage


Nasdaq Data Link MCP - Retail Trading Activity	Nasdaq Data Link MCP - World Bank Data

Nasdaq Data Link MCP - Groq + DeepSeek R1 RTAT 10

Once installed and connected to an MCP-compatible client (e.g., Claude Desktop, or Groq Desktop (beta), this server provides 5 essential tools that work with any Nasdaq Data Link database.

Featured databases:

World Bank - Global development indicators
Equities 360 - Company fundamentals and financials
Nasdaq RTAT - Retail trading activity
Nasdaq Fund Network (NFN) - Mutual funds and ETFs
...and 100+ more databases via dataset codes

You: What was the GDP of Italy in 2022? Claude: searches datasets, gets WORLDBANK/GDP data

You: Show me Apple stock data for Q1 2024 Claude: gets WIKI/AAPL dataset with date filters

You: What datasets are available for CO₂ emissions? Claude: searches datasets for "CO2 emissions"

You: Export Tesla data as JSON Claude: exports dataset in JSON format

📦 Installation

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/stefanoamorelli/nasdaq-data-link-mcp.git
cd nasdaq-data-link-mcp

2. Install Requirements

You'll need Python 3.13+ and the mcp CLI.

uv init mcp
uv add "mcp[cli]"

MCP SDK: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk Nasdaq Data Link SDK: https://github.com/Nasdaq/data-link-python

3. Get Your API Key

4. Configure the Environment

cp .env.example .env

Then edit .env and add your API key:

NASDAQ_DATA_LINK_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

And the PYTHONPATH:

PYTHONPATH=/path/to/your/local/cloned/repo/nasdaq-data-link-mcp

5. Install the MCP Server

uv run mcp install nasdaq_data_link_mcp_os/server.py --env-file .env --name "Nasdaq Data Link MCP Server" --with nasdaq-data-link --with pycountry

This registers the server with your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop).

🧪 Testing

Run the test suite:

python -m pytest tests/ -v

The test suite includes:

Basic functionality tests
Module import verification
Parameter validation
Error handling
Integration tests

Tests are designed to work without requiring an API key for basic functionality verification.

🛠️ Tools

The server exposes 5 essential tools that work with any Nasdaq Data Link database:

`search_datasets`

Search for datasets by keyword.

Examples:

# Find GDP datasets
search_datasets(query="GDP")

# Search for oil prices
search_datasets(query="oil prices")

# Find retail trading data
search_datasets(query="retail trading")

# Search for fund data
search_datasets(query="mutual funds")

`get_dataset`

Get data from a specific dataset with optional date filters.

Examples:

# Get Apple stock data for Q1 2024
get_dataset(dataset_code="WIKI/AAPL", start_date="2024-01-01", end_date="2024-03-31")

# Get World Bank GDP data
get_dataset(dataset_code="WORLDBANK/GDP_MKTP_CD")

# Get retail trading activity
get_dataset(dataset_code="NDAQ/RTAT", start_date="2024-03-01")

# Get company fundamentals
get_dataset(dataset_code="QOR/STATS_MSFT")

# Get fund price history
get_dataset(dataset_code="NFN/MFRPH_ABCDX", start_date="2024-01-01", end_date="2024-12-31")

`get_dataset_metadata`

Get metadata about a dataset without downloading data.

Examples:

# Check GDP dataset structure
get_dataset_metadata(dataset_code="WORLDBANK/GDP_MKTP_CD")

# View available columns for Apple stock
get_dataset_metadata(dataset_code="WIKI/AAPL")

# Inspect fund data structure
get_dataset_metadata(dataset_code="NFN/MFRFM")

`list_databases`

List available databases on Nasdaq Data Link.

Example:

list_databases()

`export_dataset`

Export dataset in different formats (CSV, JSON, XML).

Examples:

# Export Apple data as JSON
export_dataset(dataset_code="WIKI/AAPL", output_format="json", start_date="2024-01-01")

# Export to CSV with date range
export_dataset(dataset_code="WORLDBANK/GDP_MKTP_CD", output_format="csv", start_date="2020-01-01", end_date="2023-12-31")

# Export as XML
export_dataset(dataset_code="NDAQ/RTAT", output_format="xml")

🧪 MCP Dev & Debugging

To test the server locally with a UI:

mcp dev nasdaq_data_link_mcp_os/server.py --env-file .env

This opens the MCP Dev interface where you can call tools manually, inspect results, and troubleshoot.
