# Extract financial data context for agents with OpenBB

Extract source-backed financial market, filings, economics, and research data with OpenBB, then route the outputs into agent workflows through Python, REST, OpenBB Workspace, or MCP-facing integrations.

## Prerequisites

OpenBB Python package or CLI, Python 3.9-3.12 environment, optional OpenBB API server, optional OpenBB Workspace backend connection, financial data provider credentials where required

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- ODP operates as the "connect once, consume everywhere" infrastructure layer that consolidates and exposes data to multiple surfaces at once: Python environments for quants, OpenBB Workspace and Excel for analysts, MCP...
- Data integrations available can be found here: <https://docs.openbb.co/python/reference>
- The ODP Python Package can be installed from [PyPI package](https://pypi.org/project/openbb/) by running pip install openbb

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- This is a proxy of our growth and that we are just getting started.
