README
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for accessing Alpha Vantage stock and financial data.
Features
Complete support for all Alpha Vantage API endpoints including stocks, economic indicators, technical indicators, forex, cryptocurrencies, and commodities

API Organization
To provide a more efficient experience and reduce context window usage:
- Technical Indicators: Consolidated into 5 unified endpoints (moving averages, momentum, volatility, volume, cycle) with type parameters
- Commodities: Unified into a single endpoint with commodity_type parameter
- Forex: Time series endpoints consolidated with a series_type parameter
- Cryptocurrencies: Time series endpoints consolidated with a series_type parameter
This organization maintains full functionality while significantly reducing the number of tools required.
