# Finance Toolkit (MCP server)

> Finance Toolkit is an MCP server that adds finance tools to AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor. 200+ transparent financial metrics calculated from raw statements, not third-party endpoints. It has 5,402 GitHub stars, is released under the MIT license and runs locally with uvx financetoolkit.

While browsing a variety of websites, I repeatedly observed significant fluctuations in the same financial metric among different sources. Similarly, the reported financial statements often didn't line up, and there was limited information on the methodology used to calculate each metric.

## Install

### Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "finance-toolkit": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "financetoolkit"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FINANCIAL_MODELING_PREP_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Settings > Developer > Edit Config. macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\. Restart Claude Desktop afterwards.

### Claude Code

```sh
claude mcp add --env FINANCIAL_MODELING_PREP_API_KEY=your-value --transport stdio finance-toolkit -- uvx financetoolkit
```

### Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "finance-toolkit": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "financetoolkit"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FINANCIAL_MODELING_PREP_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Project file; use ~/.cursor/mcp.json to enable it in every project.

### VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json)

```json
{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "financial_modeling_prep_api_key",
      "description": "FINANCIAL_MODELING_PREP_API_KEY",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "finance-toolkit": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "financetoolkit"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FINANCIAL_MODELING_PREP_API_KEY": "${input:financial_modeling_prep_api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Code (remote)

```sh
claude mcp add --transport http finance-toolkit "https://financetoolkit.jeroenbouma.com/mcp"
```

The same server is also hosted as a remote MCP endpoint, so nothing runs on your machine.
