Works with Claude Desktop and Claude.ai

The OpenCapital MCP server works with Claude Desktop (macOS and Windows) and Claude.ai with MCP support enabled. Data is read live from the OpenCapital index — Claude always sees the latest fundamentals and price data.

Read-only by design

The OpenCapital MCP server only exposes read-only stock research data — fundamentals, price performance, and earnings dates derived from public SEC filings. Claude cannot place trades or modify any account state.

What changes once you connect

Three real prompts — and the kind of answer Claude couldn’t give you yesterday.

"How has Apple's revenue mix shifted since 2019?"

Apple’s revenue breakdown — five years apart:

Apple Inc.
AAPL · FY2019 · $260B
iPhone
$142B55%
Services
$46B18%
Mac
$26B10%
iPad
$24B9%
Wearables, Home & Acc.
$22B8%
Apple Inc.
AAPL · FY2024 · $391B
iPhone
$201B51%
Services
$96B25%
Wearables, Home & Acc.
$37B9%
Mac
$30B8%
iPad
$27B7%

Once the segments are in context, ask Claude to model where Services share lands in five years, pull the operating margin behind each segment to see where Apple’s profit actually comes from, or run the same breakdown for any other ticker in the index — same chat, no spreadsheet.

"Compare hyperscaler free cash flow over the last 4 quarters"

Trailing-twelve-months free cash flow, latest four quarters:

Hyperscaler FCF · TTM

Latest quarter and year-over-year change.

GOOGAlphabet$86B+28%
MSFTMicrosoft$85B+21%
METAMeta Platforms$65B+38%
AMZNAmazon$32B-35%

With these in context, ask Claude to decompose each FCF line into operating cash flow vs. capex, stress-test Amazon’s recovery under different AWS spending assumptions, or pivot the same four to buyback yield and shareholder returns — all without leaving the chat.

"Compare cloud revenue across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI"

Trailing-twelve-months cloud revenue, from segment disclosures:

Cloud revenue · TTM

Reported segment revenue and YoY growth, latest quarter.

AMZNAWS$108B+19%
MSFTAzure$75B+30%
GOOGGoogle Cloud$43B+35%
ORCLOracle Cloud Infrastructure$7B+50%

From here, ask Claude to project when growth rates cross, layer in segment operating margins to see who’s actually profitable on cloud, or pull capex to compare cost per dollar of cloud revenue across the four — all in the same chat, no spreadsheet required.
