How the connection is arranged: your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Codex or another client that supports MCP) connects to TaskFuel, which holds one prepaid balance; your agent sees the price before it pays. Data comes from Yahoo Finance via AnyAPI, and each request is priced and paid separately. ### Read a ticker quote Return the ticker, name, price, change, day range, volume and market cap. The tested response included its own as-of timestamp. Price: $0.00105 / ticker request. ## A real example Tested on 2026-11-05 through AnyAPI. The response identified Apple Inc. and returned a price, day range, volume and market cap. Its timestamp belongs to that snapshot. Your agent asked: Get a Yahoo Finance quote for Apple (AAPL) Returned in this test: - Ticker: AAPL, Apple Inc. - Price: 346.6899; change −2.8201 - Day range: 345.53 to 355.38 - Volume: 27,257,454 - As of: 2026-11-05 16:17:41 UTC Charged in this test: $0.00105. One dated quote returned through the TaskFuel API. The MCP connection uses the same operation. Currency and exchange were not explicit fields. ## When to use it ### Read a ticker beside your research.

Your agent sees the company name, sector and industry along with the quote. ## Start with TaskFuel [Start for Free](https://app.taskfuel.ai/). Sign up, connect your agent and ask for the task you need. ## Questions ### Is this Yahoo’s official MCP server? TaskFuel provides access to a Yahoo Finance quote through AnyAPI. The community option listed here uses yfinance and is also independent of Yahoo. ### Why use TaskFuel when a community server is free? Free local and community-hosted servers can be a better fit for a dedicated Yahoo workflow. TaskFuel offers a hosted quote request alongside your other paid tools, from the same balance. ### Does this include history, options or financial statements? The tested Yahoo operation returns a ticker quote and key statistics. The listed community server documents separate history, options and statement tools. ### What does a quote request cost? Our AAPL request cost $0.00105 on 5 November 2026. Your agent shows the price for your own request before it pays. ### Is the displayed price current? It is a dated test snapshot. Each response carries its own as-of timestamp; the page does not stream prices. ### Do I need a Yahoo or AnyAPI account? No. Your agent pays from your TaskFuel balance, so there is nothing else to sign up for. ## Related tool guides - [Request options data for a separate market-data task](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/options-data-api/) - [Read company financial statements](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/financial-statements-api/) - [Compare Finnhub alternatives](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/finnhub-alternative/) - [Research prediction markets through MCP](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/polymarket-mcp/) ## Reference - [Read this guide on the website](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/yahoo-finance-mcp/). - [Browse providers and capabilities](https://taskfuel.ai/catalog/). - [Pricing](https://taskfuel.ai/pricing/). - [Agent instructions](https://taskfuel.ai/llms.txt).
