What we checked

Security

  • Passed: Connections are encrypted (HTTPS).

  • Passed: No hidden instructions found in tool text.

Safety labels

  • Warning: 16 of 16 tools do not say whether they can change things.

    MCP lets a server label each tool as read-only or destructive, so clients can ask the user before risky calls. Unlabelled tools are treated as able to change things.

    • get_price_history
    • get_quote
    • get_fundamentals
    • compute_indicator
    • detect_signals
    • compute_stats
    • compare_tickers
    • screen
    • and 8 more

Tools

  • Passed: 16 tools listed.

  • Passed: Every tool describes its inputs with a valid schema.

Protocol

  • Passed: The MCP handshake works (Streamable HTTP).

  • Passed: Protocol version 2025-11-25 (latest).

  • Passed: Unknown requests are refused.

Connection

  • Passed: The server responds.

  • compare_tickersRank two or more tickers against each other by a single metric (total_return, volatility, sharpe, max_drawdown, last_price). Symbols that cannot be resolved (or lack enough history) are skipped and n…Doesn't say
