## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get a Nasdaq account set up and connected to Composio
- Install the Google ADK and Composio packages
- Create a Composio Tool Router session for Nasdaq
- Build an agent that connects to Nasdaq through MCP
- Interact with Nasdaq using natural language

## What is Google ADK?

Google ADK (Agents Development Kit) is Google's framework for building AI agents powered by Gemini models. It provides tools for creating agents that can use external services through the Model Context Protocol.
Key features include:
- Gemini Integration: Native support for Google's Gemini models
- MCP Toolset: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol tools
- Streamable HTTP: Connect to external services through streamable HTTP
- CLI and Web UI: Run agents via command line or web interface

## 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.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `NASDAQ_GET_ANALYST_RATINGS` | Get Analyst Ratings and Target Prices | Retrieves comprehensive analyst ratings and target price data for a stock symbol from Zacks Investment Research. Returns current and historical (1-3 months ago) rating counts across all rating categories (Strong Buy, Buy, Hold, Sell, Strong Sell), mean rating scores, and consensus target price estimates including mean, median, high, low, standard deviation, and revision counts. Also provides historical target price data with observation dates showing how analyst estimates have changed over time. Data sources: ZACKS/AR (analyst ratings) and ZACKS/TP (target prices historical data). |
| `NASDAQ_GET_DATATABLE` | Get Datatable Bulk Export | Tool to request a bulk export of a NASDAQ Data Link datatable. Returns a download link for a zipped CSV file containing the entire table data, bypassing the standard 10,000 row limit. Use this when you need to download large datasets in full. Check the response status: if 'fresh', the file is ready for download; if 'creating' or 'regenerating', wait and retry the request. The download link is valid for 30 minutes only. |
| `NASDAQ_GET_DATATABLE_METADATA` | Get Datatable Metadata | Tool to retrieve metadata for a NASDAQ Data Link datatable. Returns complete schema information including column definitions, data types, filterable columns, primary keys, premium status, and refresh schedule. Use when you need to understand the structure and availability of a datatable before querying its data. |
| `NASDAQ_GET_DIVIDEND_HISTORY` | Get Dividend Fundamentals | Retrieves quarterly dividend-related fundamentals for a specific stock ticker from SHARADAR SF1 database. Returns dividend metrics including DPS (dividend per share), dividend yield, payout ratio, and cash flow from dividends. Data is quarterly (dimension=ARQ) and sourced from company financial statements. Note: This endpoint accesses the premium SHARADAR SF1 database which may require subscription access. |
| `NASDAQ_GET_REAL_TIME_QUOTE` | Get Stock Price Data | Retrieves end-of-day historical stock price data for a specific ticker symbol from the QUOTEMEDIA database. Returns OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) prices, volume, and dividend/split information. Note: This provides historical end-of-day data, not live real-time quotes. |
| `NASDAQ_GET_TABLE_ROW` | Get Table Row By Filter | Retrieves rows from a NASDAQ Data Link datatable by filtering on a specified column and value. This action queries NASDAQ Data Link datatables (e.g., SHARADAR/SF1 for fundamental data, SHARADAR/TICKERS for ticker metadata) and returns rows matching the filter criteria. The API may return multiple rows if the filter isn't unique (e.g., filtering ticker='AAPL' in SF1 returns multiple fiscal periods). Use the 'columns' parameter to limit returned fields. Common use cases: - Get fundamental data for a stock: datacode='SHARADAR', datatable_code='SF1', filter_column_name='ticker' - Get ticker metadata: datacode='SHARADAR', datatable_code='TICKERS', filter_column_name='ticker' - Get price data: datacode='SHARADAR', datatable_code='SEP', filter_column_name='ticker' |
| `NASDAQ_GET_TABLES_BY_DATE` | Get Datatables Updated on Specific Date | Retrieves Nasdaq Data Link datatables (databases) that were last updated on a specific date. This action fetches all available datatables from Nasdaq Data Link's catalog and filters them by their last update timestamp to return only those updated on the target date. Useful for discovering recently updated data sources. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Nasdaq MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Nasdaq. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Nasdaq operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface.
With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster.

## Step-by-step Guide

### 1. Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
- A Google API key for Gemini models
- A Composio account and API key
- Python 3.9 or later installed
- Basic familiarity with Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Google and Composio

Google API Key
- Go to [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey) and create an API key.
- Copy the key and keep it safe. You will put this in GOOGLE_API_KEY.
Composio API Key and User ID
- Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Go to Settings → API Keys and copy your Composio API key. Use this for COMPOSIO_API_KEY.
- Decide on a stable user identifier to scope sessions, often your email or a user ID. Use this for COMPOSIO_USER_ID.

### 2. Install dependencies

Inside your virtual environment, install the required packages.
What's happening:
- google-adk is Google's Agents Development Kit
- composio connects your agent to Nasdaq via MCP
- python-dotenv loads environment variables
```bash
pip install google-adk composio python-dotenv
```

### 3. Set up ADK project

Set up a new Google ADK project.
What's happening:
- This creates an agent folder with a root agent file and .env file
```bash
adk create my_agent
```

### 4. Set environment variables

Save all your credentials in the .env file.
What's happening:
- GOOGLE_API_KEY authenticates with Google's Gemini models
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
- COMPOSIO_USER_ID identifies the user for session management
```bash
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-google-api-key
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key
COMPOSIO_USER_ID=your-user-id-or-email
```

### 5. Import modules and validate environment

What's happening:
- os reads environment variables
- Composio is the main Composio SDK client
- GoogleProvider declares that you are using Google ADK as the agent runtime
- Agent is the Google ADK LLM agent class
- McpToolset lets the ADK agent call MCP tools over HTTP
```python
import os
import warnings

from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from google.adk.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import StreamableHTTPConnectionParams
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_toolset import McpToolset

load_dotenv()

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", message=".*BaseAuthenticatedTool.*")

GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID")

if not GOOGLE_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.")
```

### 6. Create Composio client and Tool Router session

What's happening:
- Authenticates to Composio with your API key
- Declares Google ADK as the provider
- Spins up a short-lived MCP endpoint for your user and selected toolkit
- Stores the MCP HTTP URL for the ADK MCP integration
```python
composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID,
    toolkits=["nasdaq"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url,
print(f"Composio MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
```

### 7. Set up the McpToolset and create the Agent

What's happening:
- Connects the ADK agent to the Composio MCP endpoint through McpToolset
- Uses Gemini as the model powering the agent
- Lists exact tool names in instruction to reduce misnamed tool calls
```python
composio_toolset = McpToolset(
    connection_params=StreamableHTTPConnectionParams(
        url=COMPOSIO_MCP_URL,
        headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}
    )
)

root_agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    name="composio_agent",
    description="An agent that uses Composio tools to perform actions.",
    instruction=(
        "You are a helpful assistant connected to Composio. "
        "You have the following tools available: "
        "COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS, COMPOSIO_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, "
        "COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_BASH_TOOL, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_WORKBENCH. "
        "Use these tools to help users with Nasdaq operations."
    ),
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

print("\nAgent setup complete. You can now run this agent directly ;)")
```

### 8. Run the agent

Execute the agent from the project root. The web command opens a web portal where you can chat with the agent.
What's happening:
- adk run runs the agent in CLI mode
- adk web . opens a web UI for interactive testing
```bash
# Run in CLI mode
adk run my_agent

# Or run in web UI mode
adk web
```

## Complete Code

```python
import os
import warnings

from composio import Composio
from composio_google import GoogleProvider
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from google.adk.agents.llm_agent import Agent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import StreamableHTTPConnectionParams
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_toolset import McpToolset

load_dotenv()
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", message=".*BaseAuthenticatedTool.*")

GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID")

if not GOOGLE_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY, provider=GoogleProvider())

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID,
    toolkits=["nasdaq"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url


composio_toolset = McpToolset(
    connection_params=StreamableHTTPConnectionParams(
        url=COMPOSIO_MCP_URL,
        headers={"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY}
    )
)

root_agent = Agent(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    name="composio_agent",
    description="An agent that uses Composio tools to perform actions.",
    instruction=(
        "You are a helpful assistant connected to Composio. "
        "You have the following tools available: "
        "COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS, COMPOSIO_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL, "
        "COMPOSIO_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_BASH_TOOL, COMPOSIO_REMOTE_WORKBENCH. "
        "Use these tools to help users with Nasdaq operations."
    ),  
    tools=[composio_toolset],
)

print("\nAgent setup complete. You can now run this agent directly ;)")
```

## Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Nasdaq with the Google ADK through Composio's MCP Tool Router. Your agent can now interact with Nasdaq using natural language commands.
Key takeaways:
- The Tool Router approach dynamically routes requests to the appropriate Nasdaq tools
- Environment variables keep your credentials secure and separate from code
- Clear agent instructions reduce tool calling errors
- The ADK web UI provides an interactive interface for testing and development
You can extend this setup by adding more toolkits to the toolkits array in your session configuration.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Nasdaq MCP?

With a standalone Nasdaq MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Nasdaq tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Nasdaq and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Google ADK?

Yes, you can. Google ADK fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Nasdaq tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Nasdaq while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Nasdaq scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Nasdaq data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
