⚙️ Configuration

Cache TTL Settings

Adjust in .env:

STOCK_MCP_CACHE_TTL_QUOTE=5          # Quote cache (seconds)
STOCK_MCP_CACHE_TTL_FUNDAMENTALS=3600 # Fundamentals (1 hour)
STOCK_MCP_CACHE_TTL_STATEMENTS=86400  # Statements (24 hours)

Rate Limits

Finnhub Free Tier:

• 60 API calls/minute
• 30 calls/second

Best Practices:

• Enable caching (default)
• Batch similar requests
• Use Yahoo for high-frequency quote checks

🐛 Troubleshooting

"MISSING_API_KEY" error

# Check if env var is set
echo $FINNHUB_API_KEY

# If using .env file, verify it's loaded
cat .env | grep FINNHUB

# Restart server after setting

Server not appearing in Claude Desktop

1. Check JSON syntax in config file
2. Use absolute paths (not ~ or relative paths)
3. Verify Python path with which python in your venv
4. Check logs:

   # macOS
   tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log
   
   # Windows
   Get-Content $env:APPDATA\Claude\logs\mcp*.log -Wait
   

Symbol not found

• Verify symbol format (e.g., 0700.HK not 700.HK)
• Try searching first: search_symbol("tencent")
• Check if market is supported

Rate limit exceeded

• Increase cache TTL
• Reduce request frequency
• Consider Finnhub paid tier for higher limits

📊 Performance

Typical Response Times:

• Quote (cached): <10ms
• Quote (fresh): 200-500ms
• History (1 year): 500-1000ms
• Fundamentals (cached): <10ms
• Fundamentals (fresh): 1-2s
• Statements: 1-3s

Cache Hit Rates:

• Quotes: ~80% (5s TTL)
• Fundamentals: ~95% (1h TTL)
• Statements: ~99% (24h TTL)
