Installieren

Wählen Sie Ihren Client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yahoo-finance": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "yahoo-finance-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Öffne Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Nach dem Speichern neu starten.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yahoo-finance": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "yahoo-finance-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yahoo-finance": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "yahoo-finance-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yahoo-finance": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "yahoo-finance-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "yahoo-finance",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "yahoo-finance-mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "yahoo-finance": {
      "command": {
        "path": "uvx",
        "args": [
          "yahoo-finance-mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

Kosten & Limits

Was der Betrieb kostet

API-Kontingent: Yahoo's public endpoints are best-effort; no official published limit — don't hammer
Tokens pro Aufruf: 200-2000 per response depending on depth
Kosten in €: Free
Tipp: Cache statement queries — they update quarterly, not hourly. Avoid polling.

Sicherheit

Rechte, Secrets, Reichweite

Credential-Speicherung: None

Datenabfluss: Queries to finance.yahoo.com (via yfinance library)

Yahoo can and does change endpoints; when the MCP breaks, update yfinance upstream.
Not for real-time trading — 15-20 min delay on most feeds.

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

Empty data for ticker

Ticker symbol wrong or delisted; try the exchange-suffixed form (e.g. TSLA vs 'TSLA.BA' for BA listing).

Prüfen: Search yahoo finance web for the ticker

429 Too Many Requests

yfinance hit Yahoo's informal limits. Back off 5 min; avoid tight loops.

ImportError on yfinance

Reinstall with uvx --upgrade — yfinance version lag is common.

Prüfen: uvx --from ... yahoo-finance-mcp --help

Alternativen

yahoo-finance-mcp vs. andere

Alternative	Wann stattdessen	Kompromiss
maverick-mcp	You want technical analysis, screens, backtesting on top of data	Larger surface; requires Tiingo key
Alpaca / IEX Cloud MCPs	You need real-time and a paid SLA	Not free; different data shape
