# Massive.com MCP Server
[](https://github.com/massive-com/mcp_massive/releases)
A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that provides access to the full [Massive.com](https://massive.com?utm_campaign=mcp&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=github) financial data API through an LLM-friendly interface.
Rather than exposing one tool per endpoint, this server gives the LLM three composable tools — **search**, **call**, and **query** — that cover the entire Massive.com API surface. Data can be stored in an in-memory SQLite database, and enriched with built-in financial functions.
## Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| `search_endpoints` | Search for API endpoints and built-in functions by natural language query. Returns titles, path patterns, and descriptions. Set `detail` to `"more"` for query parameter docs, or `"verbose"` for full documentation. Use `max_results` to limit results. |
| `call_api` | Call any Massive.com REST API endpoint. Supports storing results as an in-memory database table (`store_as`) and applying post-processing functions (`apply`). Paginated responses include a next-page hint. |
| `query_data` | Run SQL against stored SQLite DB. Supports `SHOW TABLES`, `DESCRIBE <table>`, `DROP TABLE <table>`, CTEs, window functions, and more. Results can also be post-processed with `apply`. |
### Built-in Functions
Functions can be applied to API results or query output via the `apply` parameter on `call_api` and `query_data`. Use `search_endpoints` with `scope="functions"` to discover them.
| Category | Functions |
|---|---|
| **Greeks** | `bs_price`, `bs_delta`, `bs_gamma`, `bs_theta`, `bs_vega`, `bs_rho` — Black-Scholes option pricing and greeks |
| **Returns** | `simple_return`, `log_return`, `cumulative_return`, `sharpe_ratio`, `sortino_ratio` |
| **Technical** | `sma` (simple moving average), `ema` (exponential moving average) |
### Data Coverage
The server dynamically indexes all Massive.com API endpoints at startup from [`llms.txt`](https://massive.com/docs/rest/llms.txt), so it automatically stays in sync with the API. Coverage includes:
- Stock, options, forex, crypto, and futures aggregates
- Real-time and historical trades and quotes
- Market snapshots, gainers/losers
- Ticker details and reference data
- Dividends, splits, IPOs
- Financial fundamentals
- Analyst ratings and news (Benzinga)
- Treasury yields, inflation data
- Market status and holidays
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.12+
- A Massive.com API key <br> [![Button]][Link]
- [Astral UV](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) (v0.4.0+)
### Claude Code
First, install [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/claude-code/overview)
```bash
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
```
Install the MCP server, then register it with Claude Code:
```bash
# Install the server (one-time — downloads dependencies ahead of time)
uv tool install "mcp_massive @ git+https://github.com/massive-com/mcp_massive@v0.10.0"
# Register with Claude Code
claude mcp add massive -e MASSIVE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here -- mcp_massive
```
To upgrade to a new version later:
```bash
uv tool upgrade mcp_massive
```
> [!NOTE]
> **Upgrading from `uvx` or `uv run --with`?** Previous versions recommended `uvx --from ... mcp_massive` or `uv run --with`. These commands download dependencies on every cold start, which can cause the server to exceed Claude's 30-second connection timeout. Switch to `uv tool install` as shown above — it downloads dependencies once and starts instantly after that.
This command will install the MCP server in your current project.
If you want to install it globally, you can run the command with `-s <scope>` flag.
See `claude mcp add --help` for more options.
To start Claude Code, run `claude` in your terminal.
- If this is your first time using, follow the setup prompts to authenticate
You can also run `claude mcp add-from-claude-desktop` if the MCP server is installed already for Claude Desktop.
### Claude Desktop
1. Follow the [Claude Desktop MCP installation instructions](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user) to complete the initial installation and find your configuration file.
1. Install the server:
```bash
uv tool install "mcp_massive @ git+https://github.com/massive-com/mcp_massive@v0.10.0"
```
3. Find the installed binary path:
```bash
# Mac/Linux
which mcp_massive
# Windows
where mcp_massive
```
4. Add the server to your Claude Desktop config. Replace `<path_to_mcp_massive>` with the output from the previous step, and fill in the remaining fields.
<details>
<summary>claude_desktop_config.json</summary>
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"massive": {
"command": "<path_to_mcp_massive>",
"env": {
"MASSIVE_API_KEY": "<your_api_key_here>",
"HOME": "<your_home_directory>"
}
}
}
}
```
</details>
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `MASSIVE_API_KEY` | Yes | — | Your Massive.com API key |
| `POLYGON_API_KEY` | No | — | Deprecated alias for `MASSIVE_API_KEY` |
| `MCP_TRANSPORT` | No | `stdio` | Transport protocol: `stdio`, `sse`, or `streamable-http` |
| `MASSIVE_API_BASE_URL` | No | `https://api.massive.com` | Base URL for API requests |
| `MASSIVE_LLMS_TXT_URL` | No | `https://massive.com/docs/rest/llms.txt` | URL for the endpoint index |
| `MASSIVE_MAX_TABLES` | No | `50` | Maximum number of in-memory tables |
| `MASSIVE_MAX_ROWS` | No | `50000` | Maximum rows per stored tables |
### Transport
By default, STDIO transport is used. The transport can be set via the `--transport` CLI argument or the `MCP_TRANSPORT` environment variable (CLI argument takes precedence).
```bash
# CLI argument
MASSIVE_API_KEY=<your_api_key_here> uv run mcp_massive --transport streamable-http
# Environment variable
MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http MASSIVE_API_KEY=<your_api_key_here> uv run mcp_massive
```
## Usage Examples
Once integrated, you can prompt Claude to access Massive.com data:
```
Get the latest price for AAPL stock
Show me yesterday's trading volume for MSFT
What were the biggest stock market gainers today?
Get me the latest crypto market data for BTC-USD
Calculate the 20-day SMA for AAPL closing prices over the last 3 months
Compute Black-Scholes delta for these option contracts
```
## Development
### Running Locally
Check to ensure you have the [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) installed.
```bash
# Sync dependencies
uv sync
# Run the server
MASSIVE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here uv run mcp_massive
```
<details>
<summary>Local Dev Config for claude_desktop_config.json</summary>
Install from your local checkout, then reference the binary directly:
```bash
uv tool install --force /path/to/mcp_massive
```
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"massive": {
"command": "mcp_massive",
"env": {
"MASSIVE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
```
</details>
### Debugging
For debugging and testing, we recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector):
```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /path/to/mcp_massive run mcp_massive
```
This will launch a browser interface where you can interact with your MCP server directly and see input/output for each tool.
Select the `STDIO` transport type in the browser UI with the command `uv` and `run mcp_massive` as the arguments.
### Code Linting
This project uses [just](https://github.com/casey/just) for common development tasks. To lint your code before submitting a PR:
```bash
just lint
```
This will run `ruff format` and `ruff check --fix` to automatically format your code and fix linting issues.
