Config last verified Jun 1, 2026

The exact config to run Financial Modeling Prep in Claude Code — paste it in, restart, and the tools load.

Prerequisites

Claude Code installed.
FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN — Financial Modeling Prep API key. Can also be passed as the --fmp-token flag.

Setup

1. Open `~/.claude.json`

2. Add this configuration

Add to ~/.claude.json

~/.claude.json

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "financial-modeling-prep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "financial-modeling-prep-mcp-server",
        "--fmp-token=YOUR_FMP_API_KEY"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN>",
        "DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY": "<DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or via CLI

bash

claude mcp add financial-modeling-prep -- npx financial-modeling-prep-mcp-server --fmp-token=YOUR_FMP_API_KEY

3. Restart Claude Code and confirm the Financial Modeling Prep tools load.

Gotchas

Claude Code stores MCP servers under an "mcpServers" object in ~/.claude.json. It also reads a project-scoped .mcp.json and supports adding servers from the command line with "claude mcp add". Each entry must declare either a "type" or a "command"; Claude Code refuses an entry that has neither. Remote servers connect natively over Streamable HTTP with OAuth.
