Yes. A free Alpha Vantage API key works with the server; the key governs your rate limits, and premium endpoints and higher limits require a paid plan.

Does it support remote/OAuth?

It offers a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.alphavantage.co/mcp where you append your API key as an apikey query parameter; there is no OAuth. It can also run locally over stdio with the key passed as an argument.

Alpha Vantage MCP server

OfficialAlpha VantageConfig last verified Jun 1, 2026

Alpha Vantage's official MCP server gives agents real-time and historical stock, forex, crypto, and economic data.

Alpha Vantage MCP is the official server for the Alpha Vantage market-data API, giving an AI agent a wide financial dataset as tools. It covers equities (intraday through monthly time series, adjusted prices, global quotes, bulk quotes, symbol search, and market status), options chains, forex and digital-currency rates, fundamentals (company overview, income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, earnings, and calendars), commodities, macroeconomic indicators like GDP, CPI, and Treasury yields, and a very large library of technical indicators (SMA, EMA, MACD, RSI, BBANDS, and dozens more). Each tool maps directly to an Alpha Vantage API endpoint.

The canonical setup is the remote endpoint at https://mcp.alphavantage.co/mcp, where you pass your free Alpha Vantage API key as an apikey query parameter on the URL. It also runs locally over stdio via uvx using the marketdata-mcp-server package, taking the API key as an argument. A free key is enough to get started; the same key governs your rate limits and premium-endpoint access.

What you can do with it

Analyze a stock on demand

An agent pulls a daily time series, the company overview, and a few technical indicators to produce a grounded snapshot of how a stock is trading and what its fundamentals look like.

Track macro and commodities

The agent reads CPI, Treasury yields, and commodity prices to summarize the macro backdrop without a human assembling the figures by hand.
