Unofficial MCP server and CLI for TradingView's market screener API — stocks, forex, crypto & ETFs.

AI-powered investment research for patient, systematic investors.

Two modes, one package: Use as an MCP server with Claude, or as a standalone CLI tool that pipes to jq, csvtool, or any Unix workflow.

• 100+ screener fields including Piotroski F-Score, Altman Z-Score, Graham Number, analyst consensus, and dividend growth streaks
• 18 filter operators including crosses_above / crosses_below for golden cross detection
• 14 pre-built strategies covering value, growth, quality, GARP, deep value, breakouts, compounders, and macro monitoring
• 9 investor workflow commands — from /due-diligence to /macro-dashboard — built on top of the MCP tools
• Multi-asset coverage — stocks, ETFs, forex, and crypto with asset-specific field discovery via list_fields
• Smart caching and rate limiting — configurable TTL and requests-per-minute to keep usage responsible

Installation

Option 1: NPM (Recommended)

npm install -g tradingview-mcp-server

Option 2: Clone Repository (includes demo commands)

git clone https://github.com/fiale-plus/tradingview-mcp-server.git

CLI Usage

After installing the package, the tradingview-cli command is available globally:

# List all pre-built screening strategies

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on Mac:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tradingview": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tradingview-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Create .mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tradingview": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tradingview-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Enable in .claude/settings.local.json:

{
  "enableAllProjectMcpServers": true
}

Environment Variables

| Variable | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | CACHE_TTL_SECONDS | 300 | How long to cache API responses (seconds) | | RATE_LIMIT_RPM | 10 | Maximum API requests per minute |

MCP Tools

Eight tools are exposed to Claude:

| Tool | Description | Key Parameters | |---|---|---| | screen_stocks | Screen stocks by fundamental and technical criteria | filters, markets, sort_by, limit, columns | | screen_forex | Screen forex pairs by technical criteria | filters, sort_by, limit | | screen_crypto | Screen cryptocurrencies by market and technical criteria | filters, sort_by, limit | | screen_etf | Screen ETFs by performance and technical criteria | filters, markets, sort_by, limit | | lookup_symbols | Direct lookup by ticker — required for indexes like TVC:SPX | symbols (up to 100), columns | | list_fields | Discover available fields for any asset type | asset_type (stock, forex, crypto, etf), category | | get_preset | Retrieve a pre-configured screening strategy by key | preset_name | | list_presets | List all available preset strategies with descriptions | — |

Filter Structure

All screening tools accept filters in this shape:

{ "field": "return_on_equity", "operator": "greater", "value": 15 }
{ "field": "RSI", "operator": "in_range", "value": [40, 65] }
{ "field": "SMA50", "operator": "crosses_above", "value": "SMA200" }
{ "field": "exchange", "operator": "in_range", "value": ["NASDAQ", "NYSE"] }

Cross-field comparison (second example above) enables golden cross / death cross detection without needing a value on the right-hand side.

Screening Fields

Use list_fields to browse fields. Pass asset_type to get tailored lists for each asset class.

Development

npm install          # Install dependencies
npm run build        # Compile TypeScript to dist/
npm test             # Run all tests
npm run test:watch   # Run tests in watch mode
npm run dev          # Run directly with tsx (no build step)

Run a single test file:

npm test -- fields.test.ts

After making changes, restart Claude to reload the MCP server (no hot-reload).

Adding a New Field

2. Optionally add to EXTENDED_COLUMNS in src/tools/screen.ts

Adding a New Preset
