Market data for Claude: add TradingData as a custom connector
Claude's custom connectors speak MCP over HTTP with OAuth, which is exactly what TradingData serves. Add the URL once; Claude registers itself, sends you here to approve, and from then on sees all 30 tools.
Steps
- 1Open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector.
- 2Name it TradingData and paste the MCP server URL below. Leave the OAuth client fields empty; Claude registers itself automatically.
- 3Click Connect. You land on tradingdata.io to sign in and approve access, then you are sent back.
- 4In a chat, open the tools menu and enable TradingData. Ask about any market, company or filing.
- Custom connectors are available on Claude's paid plans and for Team and Enterprise workspaces where an admin allows them.
- Claude caches the tool list when it connects; if tools are added later, remove and re-add the connector to see them.
