Yahoo Finance MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Yahoo Finance MCP Server?

Yahoo Finance MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @thenextgennexus/yahoo-finance-mcp-server was installed 39 times last week.

How do I connect Yahoo Finance MCP Server?

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 runs locally, so the command pulls @thenextgennexus/yahoo-finance-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Yahoo Finance MCP Server?

The npm package @thenextgennexus/yahoo-finance-mcp-server was installed 39 times in the last week. Week over week that is +86%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Yahoo Finance MCP Server open source?

Yes — written in JavaScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
