Server Architecture

This MCP server uses a stateful session-based architecture powered by the Smithery SDK for request/session lifecycle. Resource reuse is handled via a client-level cache keyed by clientId (derived from the access token).

Key Features:

• Client-level Caching: Exactly one McpServer/DynamicToolsetManager is maintained per clientId. Tokenless requests use a per-request anonymous id (no reuse).
• Session Isolation: Sessions are managed by the SDK, but caching does not use sessionId.
• Stateful Management: Sessions maintain their state across multiple requests
• Mode Enforcement: Server-level configurations can override session-level settings
• HTTP-based Protocol: Communicates via HTTP with JSON-RPC formatted messages
• Dynamic Tool Management: Tools can be loaded/unloaded at runtime per session

Request Flow:

1. Client Request → HTTP POST to /mcp endpoint
2. Session Management → Server creates or retrieves session based on config (caching and reuse are keyed by clientId)
3. Mode Resolution → Server determines operational mode (Dynamic/Static/Legacy)
4. Tool Registration → Session-specific tools are loaded based on resolved mode
5. Request Processing → MCP request is processed with available tools
6. Response → JSON-RPC response sent back to client

Configuration & Mode Enforcement

The server supports multiple configuration methods with a clear precedence hierarchy to ensure predictable behavior.

Server Modes

The server operates in one of three modes:

1. 🔀 Dynamic Mode (DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY=true)

   • Starts with only 3 meta-tools: enable_toolset, disable_toolset, get_toolset_status
   • Tools loaded on-demand via meta-tool calls
   • Best for: Flexible, task-specific workflows where tool requirements change

2. 🔧 Static Mode (FMP_TOOL_SETS=search,company,quotes)

   • Pre-loads specific toolsets at session creation
   • All specified tools available immediately
   • Best for: Known, consistent tool requirements with predictable usage patterns

3. 📚 Legacy Mode (default, no specific configuration)

   • Loads all 253+ tools at session creation
   • Maximum compatibility with all features available
   • Best for: Full feature access without configuration complexity

Configuration Precedence

The server follows a strict precedence hierarchy when determining the operational mode:

🥇 CLI Arguments (highest priority)
   ↓
🥈 Environment Variables
   ↓
🥉 Session Configuration (lowest priority)

⚠️ Important Mode Enforcement Behavior

When server-level configurations are set (CLI arguments or environment variables), they override all session-level configurations for ALL sessions. This ensures consistent behavior across the entire server instance.

Example Override Scenario:

# Server started with CLI argument
npm run dev -- --dynamic-tool-discovery

# ALL session requests will use Dynamic Mode, regardless of session config
# Session config like {"FMP_TOOL_SETS": "search,company"} will be IGNORED

Configuration Methods:

1. CLI Arguments (Server-level - overrides everything)

   npm run dev -- --fmp-token=TOKEN --dynamic-tool-discovery
   npm run dev -- --fmp-token=TOKEN --fmp-tool-sets=search,company,quotes
   npm run dev -- --port=4000 --fmp-token=TOKEN
   

2. Environment Variables (Server-level - overrides session configs)

   DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY=true npm run dev
   FMP_TOOL_SETS=search,company,quotes npm run dev
   

3. Session Configuration (Session-level - via HTTP query parameter)

   # Base64 encoded JSON config in query parameter
   curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/mcp?config=eyJEWU5BTUlDX1RPT0xfRElTQ09WRVJZIjoidHJ1ZSJ9"
   

⚠️ Configuration Warnings

• Server-level modes are GLOBAL: They affect all sessions on the server instance
• Session configs are IGNORED when server-level modes are active
• No mixing: You cannot have different modes for different sessions when server-level enforcement is active
• Restart required: Changing server-level configurations requires server restart

Selective Tool Loading

While MCP clients can filter tools automatically, large tool sets may impact performance. To optimize your experience, you can specify which tool categories to load instead of loading all 253 tools at once:

Available Tool Sets

Tool Set	Description	Example Tools
search	Search & Directory	Search stocks, company lookup, symbol directories
company	Company Profile & Info	Company profiles, executives, employee count
quotes	Real-time Quotes	Live stock prices, market data, price changes
statements	Financial Statements	Income statements, balance sheets, cash flow, ratios
calendar	Financial Calendar	Earnings calendar, dividends, IPOs, stock splits
charts	Price Charts & History	Historical prices, technical charts, market movements
news	Financial News	Market news, press releases, financial articles
analyst	Analyst Coverage	Price targets, ratings, analyst estimates
market-performance	Market Performance	Sector performance, gainers, losers, most active
insider-trades	Insider Trading	Corporate insider activity, ownership changes
institutional	Institutional Holdings	13F filings, fund holdings, institutional ownership
indexes	Market Indexes	S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow Jones, index constituents
economics	Economic Data	Treasury rates, GDP, inflation, economic indicators
crypto	Cryptocurrency	Crypto prices, market data, digital assets
forex	Foreign Exchange	Currency pairs, exchange rates, forex data
commodities	Commodities	Gold, oil, agricultural products, futures
etf-funds	ETFs & Mutual Funds	Fund holdings, performance, fund information
esg	ESG & Sustainability	Environmental, social, governance ratings
technical-indicators	Technical Indicators	RSI, SMA, EMA, MACD, Bollinger Bands
senate	Government Trading	Congressional and Senate trading disclosures
sec-filings	SEC Filings	10-K, 10-Q, 8-K filings, regulatory documents
earnings	Earnings & Transcripts	Earnings reports, call transcripts
dcf	DCF Valuation	Discounted cash flow models, valuations
bulk	Bulk Data	Large-scale data downloads for analysis

Dynamic Toolset Management (BETA)

🚧 This feature is currently in BETA. API and behavior may change in future versions.

The Dynamic Toolset Management feature allows you to enable and disable tool categories at runtime instead of pre-configuring them at startup. This provides more flexibility and can help optimize performance by loading only the tools you need when you need them.

How It Works

When dynamic toolset management is enabled, each session starts with only 3 meta-tools:

• enable_toolset - Enable a specific toolset during runtime
• disable_toolset - Disable a previously enabled toolset
• get_toolset_status - Check which toolsets are currently active

AI assistants can then use these meta-tools to dynamically load and unload specific tool categories as needed for different tasks within their session.

Configuration Options

Server-Level Configuration (Affects All Sessions)

Command Line Arguments:

# Enable dynamic toolset management for all sessions
npm run dev -- --fmp-token=YOUR_TOKEN --dynamic-tool-discovery

# Production deployment
node dist/index.js --fmp-token=YOUR_TOKEN --dynamic-tool-discovery

Environment Variables:

# Set environment variable
export DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY=true
export FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN
npm run dev

# Or inline
DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY=true FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN npm start

Docker:

# docker-compose.yml
version: "3.8"
services:
  fmp-mcp:
    image: your-image-name
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN
      - DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY=true # Enable for all sessions

Session-Level Configuration (When No Server Override)

When no server-level dynamic mode is set, individual sessions can request dynamic mode:

# Base64 encode: {"DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY":"true"}
CONFIG_BASE64=$(echo -n '{"DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY":"true"}' | base64)
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/mcp?config=${CONFIG_BASE64}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize",...}'

Example Workflow

1. Start server with dynamic mode:

   DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY=true npm start
   

2. AI assistant initializes session and gets meta-tools:

   // Response includes only 3 meta-tools:
   {
     "tools": [
       { "name": "enable_toolset", "description": "Enable a specific toolset" },
       { "name": "disable_toolset", "description": "Disable a toolset" },
       { "name": "get_toolset_status", "description": "Check active toolsets" }
     ]
   }
   

3. AI assistant enables needed toolsets:

   // Enable search toolset
   {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"enable_toolset","arguments":{"toolset":"search"}}}
   
   // Enable quotes toolset
   {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"enable_toolset","arguments":{"toolset":"quotes"}}}
   

4. AI assistant uses the enabled tools:

   // Now can use search and quotes tools
   {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":4,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"searchSymbol","arguments":{"query":"AAPL"}}}
   {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":5,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"getQuote","arguments":{"symbol":"AAPL"}}}
   

5. AI assistant can disable unused toolsets:

   {
     "jsonrpc": "2.0",
     "id": 6,
     "method": "tools/call",
     "params": {
       "name": "disable_toolset",
       "arguments": { "toolset": "search" }
     }
   }
   

Benefits

• Performance: Start faster with fewer tools loaded initially per session
• Flexibility: Load only the tools needed for current tasks
• Resource Efficiency: Reduce memory usage by disabling unused toolsets per session
• Task-Oriented: Perfect for AI assistants that work on specific financial analysis tasks
• Session Isolation: Each session can have different active toolsets

Example System Prompts

The following system prompts are designed to help AI assistants effectively use this MCP server for financial analysis tasks. Choose the appropriate prompt based on your server configuration mode.

For Dynamic Toolset Mode

You are an expert financial analyst AI with access to comprehensive market data tools.

CORE RULES:
- Always use tools for current market data; never rely on outdated information or estimates
- Check conversation history to avoid redundant tool calls
- Provide concise, data-driven responses
- Always include: "This is not financial advice"

DYNAMIC TOOLSET MANAGEMENT:
Your tools are organized into categories ("toolsets") that must be enabled before use. You have a 4-toolset maximum at any time.

Available toolsets: search, company, quotes, statements, calendar, charts, news, analyst, market-performance, insider-trades, institutional, indexes, economics, crypto, forex, commodities, etf-funds, esg, technical-indicators, senate, sec-filings, earnings, dcf, bulk

EXECUTION WORKFLOW:
1. ENABLE: Use enable_toolset for required categories based on the user's query
2. VERIFY: Call get_toolset_status to confirm active toolsets. If >4 active, use disable_toolset to remove the least relevant
3. EXECUTE: Call specific tools from enabled toolsets
4. CLEAN UP: Consider disabling unused toolsets when switching to different analysis types

FAILURE PROTOCOL:
If tools fail repeatedly or data is unavailable, state: "I cannot find the requested information with the available tools" and stop attempting.

Begin each analysis by enabling the appropriate toolsets for the user's request.

For Static Toolset Mode

You are an expert financial analyst AI with access to comprehensive market data tools.

CORE RULES:
- Always use tools for current market data; never rely on outdated information or estimates
- Check conversation history to avoid redundant tool calls
- Provide concise, data-driven responses
- Always include: "This is not financial advice"

STATIC TOOLSET CONFIGURATION:
Your tools are pre-loaded and immediately available. All configured toolsets remain active throughout the session.

EXECUTION WORKFLOW:
1. IDENTIFY: Determine which tools from your available toolsets best address the user's query
2. EXECUTE: Call the appropriate tools directly - no toolset management needed
3. ANALYZE: Process the data and provide insights based on the results

TOOL CATEGORIES:
Your available tools span multiple categories including company profiles, financial statements, market quotes, technical analysis, news sentiment, and economic indicators. Use the most relevant tools for each analysis.

FAILURE PROTOCOL:
If tools fail repeatedly or data is unavailable, state: "I cannot find the requested information with the available tools" and stop attempting.

Proceed directly to analysis using your available tools based on the user's request.

Usage Tips

• Dynamic Mode: Best for exploratory analysis where tool requirements change frequently. The AI assistant will manage toolsets based on the current task.
• Static Mode: Best for consistent, predictable workflows where the same types of analysis are performed repeatedly.
• Legacy Mode: Use the Static Mode prompt when all tools are pre-loaded (default configuration).

Human-Friendly Capabilities Prompt

This server provides a human-friendly prompt to list capabilities in one shot.

• Name: list_mcp_assets
• Output sections: Server Capabilities, Prompts, Tools (mode-aware), Resources (health snapshot), Quick Start
• Exposed only as an MCP prompt (no tool alias)

List assets via prompts

# 1) Initialize (example: dynamic mode session)
CONFIG_BASE64=$(echo -n '{"DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY":"true"}' | base64)
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/mcp?config=${CONFIG_BASE64}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "initialize",
    "params": { "protocolVersion": "2024-11-05", "clientInfo": {"name": "client", "version": "1.0.0"}, "capabilities": {} }
  }'

# 2) List prompts
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/mcp?config=${CONFIG_BASE64}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"prompts/list","params":{}}'

# 3) Get the capabilities prompt
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/mcp?config=${CONFIG_BASE64}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"prompts/get","params":{"name":"list_mcp_assets","arguments":{}}}'

Notes:

• The Tools section adapts to the effective mode (Dynamic/Static/Legacy). In legacy mode, it summarizes categories instead of listing all 250+ tools.
• In Static mode, toolsets shown are the authoritative list from the server’s mode enforcer (single source of truth). Session FMP_TOOL_SETS may request Static mode, but server-level configuration controls the final toolsets.
• The Resources section includes a lightweight health snapshot (uptime, memory summary, version, mode).

Making HTTP Requests

The server exposes a Model Context Protocol endpoint at /mcp that accepts JSON-RPC formatted requests. Each request can include optional session configuration via query parameters.

Endpoint Format

POST http://localhost:8080/mcp[?config=BASE64_ENCODED_CONFIG]

Required Headers

Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json, text/event-stream

Session Configuration

Session configurations are passed as Base64-encoded JSON in the config query parameter. This allows each session to have different tool configurations when no server-level mode enforcement is active.

Configuration Examples:

1. Dynamic Mode Session:

# Configuration: {"DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY":"true"}
CONFIG_BASE64=$(echo -n '{"DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY":"true"}' | base64)
# Result: eyJEWU5BTUlDX1RPT0xfRElTQ09WRVJZIjoidHJ1ZSJ9

2. Static Mode Session:

# Configuration: {"FMP_TOOL_SETS":"search,company,quotes"}
CONFIG_BASE64=$(echo -n '{"FMP_TOOL_SETS":"search,company,quotes"}' | base64)
# Result: eyJGTVBfVE9PTF9TRVRTIjoic2VhcmNoLGNvbXBhbnkscXVvdGVzIn0=

3. Legacy Mode Session:

# Configuration: {} (empty object)
CONFIG_BASE64=$(echo -n '{}' | base64)
# Result: e30=

      "arguments": {
        "symbol": "AAPL"
      }
    }
  }'

Session and Client Behavior

• Session Persistence: Each unique config parameter creates a separate session (SDK-managed)
• Tool State: In dynamic mode, enabled/disabled toolsets may be reused for the same clientId across requests
• Isolation: Sessions don't interfere with each other's tool configurations; caching is keyed by clientId
• Caching: Client storage (LRU + TTL) maintains one McpServer/DynamicToolsetManager per clientId

Cache Reuse Policy (Session-Config Aware)

• For the same clientId (derived from token), the server compares each request’s desired mode and static tool sets against the cached instance.
• If there is a difference and there is NO server-level mode enforcement, a new McpServer instance is created and the cache entry is replaced.
• If a server-level mode is enforced (via CLI/env), session-level changes are ignored and the cached instance is reused.
• Static tool set comparison is order-insensitive (e.g., search,company equals company,search).

⚠️ Important: Mode Enforcement Behavior

Server-Level Configurations Override Session Configurations:

• When CLI arguments (--dynamic-tool-discovery, --fmp-tool-sets) are used, they apply to ALL sessions
• When environment variables (DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY, FMP_TOOL_SETS) are set, they apply to ALL sessions
• Session-level configurations via query parameters are IGNORED when server-level modes are active
• This ensures consistent behavior across all sessions on a server instance

Configuration Precedence: CLI Arguments > Environment Variables > Session Configuration

Example: If server started with --dynamic-tool-discovery, ALL sessions will use dynamic mode even if they request {"FMP_TOOL_SETS":"search,company"} in their session config.

Development Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/imbenrabi/Financial-Modeling-Prep-MCP-Server
cd Financial-Modeling-Prep-MCP-Server

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

# Run in development mode with your API key
FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_api_key npm run dev

# Or specify the API key directly via CLI argument
npm run dev -- --fmp-token=your_api_key

The development server will start on port 8080 by default. You can configure the port using the PORT environment variable:

PORT=4000 FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_api_key npm run dev

Development with Server-Level Mode Enforcement

Server-Level Static Mode (All Sessions Use Specific Toolsets):

# Environment variable approach
FMP_TOOL_SETS=search,company,quotes FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_api_key npm run dev

# CLI argument approach (higher precedence)
npm run dev -- --fmp-token=your_api_key --fmp-tool-sets=search,company,quotes

Server-Level Dynamic Mode (All Sessions Start with Meta-Tools):

# Environment variable approach
DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY=true FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_api_key npm run dev

# CLI argument approach (higher precedence)
npm run dev -- --fmp-token=your_api_key --dynamic-tool-discovery

Session-Level Configuration (Default - No Server Enforcement):

# Start server without mode enforcement
npm run dev -- --fmp-token=your_api_key

# Individual sessions can then specify their own configurations via HTTP requests

Testing Different Configurations

When developing, you can test different configuration scenarios:

1. Test Session-Level Configurations:

# Start server without enforcement
npm run dev -- --fmp-token=your_api_key

# Test dynamic mode session
CONFIG_BASE64=$(echo -n '{"DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY":"true"}' | base64)
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/mcp?config=${CONFIG_BASE64}" -d '...'

# Test static mode session
CONFIG_BASE64=$(echo -n '{"FMP_TOOL_SETS":"search,quotes"}' | base64)
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/mcp?config=${CONFIG_BASE64}" -d '...'

2. Test Server-Level Enforcement:

# Start with server-level dynamic mode
npm run dev -- --fmp-token=your_api_key --dynamic-tool-discovery

# ALL sessions will use dynamic mode regardless of session config
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/mcp?config=${CONFIG_BASE64}" -d '...'

Running Tests

The project uses Vitest for testing. You can run tests in several ways:

# Run tests in watch mode (for development)
npm test

# Run tests once
npm run test:run

# Run tests with coverage report
npm run test:coverage

The coverage report will be generated in the coverage/ directory and displayed in the terminal. You can open coverage/index.html in your browser to view a detailed HTML coverage report.
