Financial Modeling Prep

Financial Modeling Prep on xpay — Comprehensive financial data without the signup friction

Financial Modeling Prep is a comprehensive financial data platform covering stocks, forex, crypto, fundamentals, and SEC filings. Developers use it to power investment research tools, portfolio dashboards, compliance workflows, and market analysis applications. The platform exposes 253 tools across symbol search, screening, fundamentals retrieval, and regulatory lookups—all callable as MCP tools through xpay.

Instead of signing up with Financial Modeling Prep directly and managing separate credentials, you connect via xpay using a single API key. Each call is billed individually at $0.01 per call, with no subscription required.

What's available

• Symbol and company lookup: searchSymbol, searchName, searchCIK, searchCUSIP, searchISIN — find ticker symbols, CIK numbers, and identifiers across global markets and regulatory databases.
• Stock screening and discovery: stockScreener — filter equities by market cap, price, volume, beta, sector, country, and custom criteria to identify investment opportunities.
• Exchange and listing data: searchExchangeVariants, getCompanySymbols, getFinancialStatementSymbols, getETFList — discover where securities trade and which companies have available financial statements.
• Regulatory and corporate actions: getCIKList, getSymbolChanges — track SEC registrations, mergers, acquisitions, stock splits, and name changes.
• 253 total tools covering fundamentals, valuations, technical analysis, forex, crypto, and more.

When Financial Modeling Prep is the right tool

• You're building a stock screener, portfolio tracker, or investment research dashboard.
• You need to resolve ticker symbols, CIK numbers, or CUSIP/ISIN identifiers programmatically.
• You're aggregating SEC filings, fundamentals, or corporate action data for compliance or analysis.
• You want real-time or historical market data (stocks, forex, crypto) without maintaining your own data pipeline.
• You're prototyping a financial agent that needs to look up companies and securities on demand.

When to choose something else

• If you need ultra-low-latency tick-by-tick trading data, a dedicated market data feed (Bloomberg, Reuters) may be more appropriate.
• If you only need basic stock price quotes and don't need fundamentals or SEC data, a lighter-weight API like Alpha Vantage or IEX Cloud may be cheaper for that narrow use case.
• If you're building a consumer app with millions of end users, per-call pricing can add up; consider negotiating a direct contract with Financial Modeling Prep for volume discounts.
• If you need real-time options or derivatives data, Financial Modeling Prep's focus on equities and fundamentals may not be sufficient.

Pricing snapshot

Quickstart

Step 1: Get your xpay API key

Sign up at https://xpay.tools with email or Google. Copy your API key from the dashboard.

Step 2: Add the Financial Modeling Prep MCP to Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http financial-modeling-prep "https://financial-modeling-prep.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_XPAY_KEY"

Replace YOUR_XPAY_KEY with your actual key.

Step 3: Use it

Once connected, Claude Code will have access to all Financial Modeling Prep tools by their native names (e.g., searchSymbol, stockScreener). Ask Claude to search for a stock symbol, screen for companies matching criteria, or look up SEC identifiers—Claude will invoke the tool and bill the call to your xpay account.

Alternative: Use the unified xpay endpoint

If you want to connect all xpay providers (Financial Modeling Prep, Tavily, Apollo, and others) in a single MCP connection:

claude mcp add --transport http xpay "https://mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_XPAY_KEY"

Then use xpay_discover() to find tools, xpay_details() to inspect schemas, and xpay_run() to execute them.

For Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, or VS Code (Copilot):

Add a server entry to your mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "financial-modeling-prep": {
      "url": "https://financial-modeling-prep.mcp.xpay.sh/mcp?key=YOUR_XPAY_KEY"
    }
  }
}
