Brvm

MCP server giving AI assistants access to BRVM public data — the West African regional stock exchange serving 8 UEMOA countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo).

The BRVM publishes no public API. This server aggregates 4 data sources into 18 MCP tools so any AI assistant (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.) can query real-time market data, fundamentals, dividends, volumes, and sector indices.

Disclaimer: For information and analysis only. Does not constitute investment advice (regulated activity under AMF-UMOA). Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Quick start

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brvm": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/dondirechristian/brvm-mcp", "brvm-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Then ask: "What are the BRVM stocks with the highest dividend yield?"

Config file locations:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows (Store): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Claude_*\LocalCache\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Claude Code

claude mcp add brvm -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/dondirechristian/brvm-mcp brvm-mcp

Manual install (pip)

git clone https://github.com/dondirechristian/brvm-mcp.git
cd brvm-mcp
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate        # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python server.py

---

HTTP / Docker mode

For network deployment or integration with non-stdio MCP clients:

docker compose up -d

Exposes a streamable-http MCP endpoint on port 8000. Set MCP_TRANSPORT=sse for legacy SSE clients.

---

Historical data

brvm.org only exposes the current session. To build trend analysis, run snapshot.py daily after market close (BRVM fixing ~10:45 GMT):

python snapshot.py          # capture today's session (idempotent)
python snapshot.py --stats  # show database coverage

Automate with cron (weekdays at 12:00 GMT):

0 12 * * 1-5  cd /path/to/brvm-mcp && .venv/bin/python snapshot.py >> snapshot.log 2>&1

Technical notes:

• Regex on page text, not CSS selectors — more resilient to theme changes
• 15-minute TTL cache — BRVM runs a single daily fixing (~10:45 GMT), no need to hammer sources
• Identifiable User-Agent + exponential backoff — respectful of public infrastructure
