Market data in Claude Code: one command to add the MCP server
Claude Code supports remote MCP servers over HTTP. One command adds TradingData; the OAuth flow opens in your browser the first time a tool is used.
Steps
- 1Run the command below once in your project or with --scope user for every project.
- 2The first call opens your browser to sign in and approve access.
- 3Type /mcp inside Claude Code to check the connection or sign in again.
- Create API keys in the dashboard; each key is tracked separately and can be revoked on its own.
