tickstream-mcp

Live market-data tools for Claude Code and any MCP agent — backed by tickstream.

Add it (one command)

claude mcp add tickstream -- npx -y tickstream-mcp

Set your key in the environment so the server can authenticate:

export TICKSTREAM_API_KEY=sk_live_…

Cursor / Windsurf (mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tickstream": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tickstream-mcp"],
      "env": { "TICKSTREAM_API_KEY": "sk_live_…" }
    }
  }
}

Tools your agent gets

| Tool | What it does | |------|--------------| | get_quote | Latest trade price for a symbol (ES, NQ, SPX…) | | stream_ticks | Sample live ticks over a few seconds | | get_book | Latest Level 2 order-book snapshot (L2/Pro) | | get_options | Live option chain with greeks (Pro) | | list_symbols | Markets covered + how to request more |

Then just ask: "What's ES trading at, and pull a few seconds of NQ ticks."
