MCP Tool Usage

Financial Datasets MCP Tools:

• Real-time and historical stock prices
• Company fundamentals (revenue, margins, P/E, etc.)
• Insider trading data
• Analyst estimates and revisions
• Cash flow statements for DCF

Exa MCP Tools:

• Neural web search for news and sentiment
• Domain-filtered searches (bloomberg.com, reuters.com, etc.)

Error Handling

Caveats

• Financial Datasets provides real-time data during market hours
• Exa search results include timestamps for recency
• DCF valuations are sensitive to input assumptions
• Always cross-validate critical claims across sources
• This skill provides research analysis, not investment advice
• Market data may have brief delays depending on exchange

Technical Notes

• Both MCP servers are auto-discovered by Qwen Code
• Financial Datasets uses OAuth authentication
• Exa uses API key authentication (configured in MCP settings)
• DCF subskill is triggered by valuation-related keywords
• Tool responses include metadata for source attribution
