Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Executes code built at runtime web/components/ArtifactsView.tsx:302, web/components/Markdown.tsx:94

      const func = new Function(...params, functionBody);

Runs an external command mcp/src/av_mcp/cowork_connector/verify_oauth.py:677

        process = subprocess.Popen(

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Alpha Vantage MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Alpha Vantage MCP?

The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 92.3% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.

Is Alpha Vantage MCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 84 of 91 checks got a reply (92.3%), average response time 459 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Alpha Vantage MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.

How do you sign in to Alpha Vantage MCP?

No API key is involved. Alpha Vantage MCP answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.

How fast is Alpha Vantage MCP?

It answers our handshake in 459 ms on average, which is faster than 34% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Alpha Vantage MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 211 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
