Real-time financial data server with MCP C# SDK

Real-time Financial Data Server with MCP C# SDK

This project provides a robust, real-time financial data streaming server built with the official Model Context Protocol (MCP) C# SDK. Designed for developers, it leverages the power of MCP to efficiently deliver live financial market data. The server connects to Finnhub's API to ingest and then re-broadcast this data over the MCP protocol, making it readily accessible for integration into various applications and trading systems.

What it Does

The core functionality of this tool is to act as a bridge between a financial data provider (Finnhub) and applications requiring real-time data streams. It fetches financial market information, such as stock prices, forex rates, and cryptocurrency data, and then publishes this information using the MCP protocol. This allows for low-latency, efficient data distribution to multiple clients simultaneously. The use of the MCP C# SDK ensures seamless integration with other MCP-compatible systems.

Key Features

• Real-time Data Streaming: Provides live updates for financial instruments.
• MCP Protocol Integration: Utilizes the official MCP C# SDK for efficient data transport.
• Finnhub API Connectivity: Connects to Finnhub for comprehensive financial data.
• Developer-Focused: Designed for easy integration and customization by AI builders.
• Open Source: Hosted on GitHub for transparency and community contribution.

Who it's For

This tool is specifically targeted at AI builders , quantitative analysts , and software developers who are building applications that require real-time financial data. This includes, but is not limited to, algorithmic trading platforms, financial dashboards, risk management systems, and any application that needs to react to market movements instantaneously. Developers familiar with C# and the MCP protocol will find this tool particularly valuable for accelerating their development cycles.
