This is a feature-rich unofficial NSE data MCP server with many tools. Setup is simple via npx. Suitable for quick integration into AI assistants, but be aware of unofficial status and data reliability risks.
stock-nse-india is an MCP server for the unofficial NSE India API, allowing AI assistants to access real-time and historical data of the National Stock Exchange of India through a standardized tool interface. It offers a wide range of tools covering equity details, historical data, intraday data, technical indicators, index information, option chains, market status, reports, and commodity data. The server communicates via stdio and can be quickly launched via npx. The project also provides REST and GraphQL APIs, but the MCP server focuses on core data access.
