## What it is

A Python MCP server that hands an AI client 37 market tools: screeners across Binance, KuCoin,
NASDAQ, NYSE, BIST and the Egyptian Exchange, technical analysis (RSI, MACD, Bollinger and 23
indicators with a BUY/SELL/HOLD summary), US options chains with a volume-over-open-interest
unusual-activity scan, licensed news and per-symbol sentiment, and a backtest engine running
nine fixed strategies with Sharpe, Calmar, profit factor and a walk-forward overfitting
verdict.

It is not a TradingView product and gets none of TradingView's licensed data. The author states
that the project is not affiliated with, endorsed by or associated with TradingView Inc.; it
needs no TradingView account, key or plan, and it does not drive a logged-in TradingView session
the way the desktop-automation servers of the same name do. The name describes one of the public
endpoints it reads, not who wrote it.

## Pricing

Self-hosting is free under MIT. The same author sells a hosted connector branded CryptoSieve —
one URL, no ops — at $9 a month for 2,500 calls and 60 requests a minute, or $29 for 10,000
calls and 150 a minute; yearly Pro is $90. The trial is three days and takes a card. The hosted
product advertises 27 tools where the repo lists 37.

## Data & coverage

No data of its own and no exchange licence. Quotes come from Yahoo Finance's public endpoints,
as do the options chains and the unusual-activity ranking; screening and indicators come from
TradingView's public screener via the tradingview-screener and tradingview_ta packages. News and
per-symbol sentiment come from Marketaux, a licensed news API — one fetch serves both tools, the
server caches it for four hours and caps itself at 90 calls a day, and without a Marketaux token
those two tools return a "not configured" stub rather than data. Each source carries its own
terms and its own reliability: crypto is effectively live, equity venues lag, and an upstream
change can silence a tool — news and sentiment have been rebuilt twice in 2026, first off
Reuters' deprecated RSS feeds and then off the Reddit and RSS scrapers entirely.

## Limitations

Read-only analysis: no order routing, no paper trading, no portfolio, no alerts. Backtests are
nine presets on daily or hourly bars, not your own strategy code. The server caps itself at four
concurrent analysis calls with 0.8-second spacing because TradingView's endpoints rate-limit it,
so wide scans are slow. Publishing is irregular: the last tag is v0.8.0 (29 July 2026), PyPI's
latest is 0.8.1 (24 August 2026), the README already badges v0.9.0, and the last commit to main
was 1 September 2026. Check the package name before you install: this project publishes as
`tradingview-mcp-server`, while the bare name `tradingview-mcp` on PyPI belongs to an unrelated
single-release package by another author — and it is numbered 0.9.1, higher than the real one, so
the version number will not warn you. Several tools emit verdicts on a named ticker rather than data:
multi_agent_analysis returns STRONG BUY through STRONG SELL with a confidence label, and the EGX
screener and trade-plan tools attach entry points, a stop loss, targets and a trade-quality
score. It is indicator arithmetic, and the README disclaims it as not advice, but it is a call
and not a number — which is why this card carries the recommendations flag.

## Alternatives

Vendor-official MCP servers from [Alpha Vantage](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/alpha-vantage), [EODHD](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/eodhd) or [Massive](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/massive) if you want licensed data and
someone to complain to. [OpenBB](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/openbb) for a research workbench rather than a screener bus. If what you
wanted was an AI clicking around your own [TradingView](https://stockmarketstack.com/tools/tradingview) Desktop — Pine Script, drawings, bar
replay — that is the unrelated tradesdontlie/tradingview-mcp project, which does need your
TradingView account.

## FAQ

### Is this made by TradingView?

No. It is an independent open-source project by Ahmet Taner Atila, and the README says so in as many words — not affiliated with, endorsed by or associated with TradingView Inc. TradingView sells its own charting platform and has no part in this server.

### Do I need a TradingView account or a paid TradingView plan?

No. The server needs no TradingView account, login or API key, and it does not automate a browser session. That distinguishes it from the desktop-automation servers sharing the name, which remote-control TradingView Desktop and do need your logged-in account.

### Where does the data actually come from?

Yahoo Finance public endpoints for quotes and for US options chains, and TradingView's public screener through the open-source tradingview-screener and tradingview_ta packages for screening and indicators. News and per-symbol sentiment come from Marketaux, a licensed news API, and the two tools that use it return a "not configured" stub until you set a free Marketaux key — 100 requests a day. The Reddit scraper and the RSS reader earlier versions used are still in the package but nothing imports them any more. None of it is licensed exchange data.

### Is it free?

Self-hosting is free under MIT and always will be. The same author sells a hosted connector as CryptoSieve at $9 or $29 a month for people who would rather not run it, with a three-day trial that requires a card.
