What is the Nasdaq MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Nasdaq MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Nasdaq Data Link account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time financial data, analyst ratings, dividend histories, and more, so your agent can fetch live quotes, analyze trends, retrieve historical performance, and power your financial insights automatically.

  • Real-time stock quote retrieval: Instantly get up-to-the-second price quotes and market data for any supported symbol, enabling timely investment decisions and market monitoring.
  • Analyst ratings and target price lookup: Access the latest analyst recommendations and price targets for specific symbols to inform your trading strategies and research.
  • Historical dividend tracking: Retrieve detailed dividend history for any stock, supporting portfolio income analysis and historical return calculations.
  • Table metadata and structure exploration: Let your agent fetch and understand datatable schemas, making it easy to build data-driven applications with accurate column definitions and sample data.
  • Targeted data row and table queries: Pull specific rows or tables updated on certain dates, supporting custom research, analysis, and reporting workflows.

Use Nasdaq from Atomic Agent

With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Nasdaq in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

Troubleshooting

Why is my API key rejected?

Copy the key directly from the Composio dashboard. Atomic Agent requires ASCII characters because it sends the key in an HTTP header. Remove any extra characters introduced when copying.

Why are Composio tools unavailable after saving a key?

Check that you use Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later and that Composio is enabled in your configuration. A "composio": { "enabled": false } setting disables the integration while keeping the saved key on disk.

Does Composio have a free plan?

The Hobby plan includes 100,000 tool calls per month. Composio-managed OAuth apps have a lower included allowance. See Composio pricing for the current limits that apply to your connection.
