Chart Library MCP
Free market-state research. One question, one call.
Version 6.2.0 introduces the same three-tool starting point as the hosted service. Existing integrations retain their callable tool names.
Three read-only tools
| Tool | Input | Result |
|---|---|---|
market_state | Symbol; optional date | Completed-session state, historical analogs, outcome ranges, transition memory and tape |
daily_note | Optional date | Published daily research, selection rule and settled-note tally |
research_quality | None | Published calibration receipt, dated sample and qualifications |
Each tool works independently. No preliminary search or cohort handle is needed.
Example question: “Read AAPL's latest completed-session state. Report the historical analog ranges, sample sizes, session date and limitations.”
Omitting date uses the latest built/published session, not a real-time quote. Dates use YYYY-MM-DD. Missing or thin evidence stays missing or thin.
Connect
The primary remote endpoint is https://chartlibrary.io/mcp, using Streamable HTTP and no authentication.
For a command-based client, install or upgrade the package:
python -m pip install --upgrade chartlibrary-mcp
Then use the equivalent of this configuration in your MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"chartlibrary": {
"command": "chartlibrary-mcp"
}
}
}
No API key or server-side Python packages are required. An optional
CHART_LIBRARY_API_KEY is forwarded as a Bearer token when set. An empty key
does not send an Authorization header. CHART_LIBRARY_API_URL can select your
own compatible endpoint; only point it at a server you trust with that key.
Python 3.10+ is required. This release uses the MCP 1.x FastMCP interface and
pins mcp>=1.28.1,<2.0.0; MCP 2.x is a separate migration.
The equivalent HTTP calls
curl "https://chartlibrary.io/api/v1/state-packet?symbol=AAPL"
curl "https://chartlibrary.io/api/v1/daily"
curl "https://chartlibrary.io/api/v1/calibration"
Use only the call relevant to the question. For a historical state add
&date=YYYY-MM-DD. Daily REST requests call the date parameter session.
Read the evidence accurately
- Preserve dates, sample sizes, informative receipts, warnings and provenance.
- State-packet excess returns are percentage-point observations relative to a date-matched liquid-stock baseline. Each horizon has its own observed n.
- Raw historical percentiles are not automatically calibrated forecasts.
research_qualityaudits only the method and population its receipt names. Do not transfer its coverage percentage to every market state or all research.- Daily research has its own selection rule and settled-note tally.
- Historical frequencies are not recommendations to buy or sell.
Research access is free. Service limits and underlying data terms still apply. Honor HTTP 429 and retry guidance; do not assume unlimited throughput.
Existing integrations
Existing tool names stay registered and callable, including pull_comps,
search, state_packet, and the cohort inspection tools. To discover the
extended menu in a local client, set CHART_LIBRARY_MCP_PROFILE=advanced.
This changes discovery, not authorization or access to private research.
The public menu does not expose private fund operations or every experimental
state-memory method. Legacy examples in examples/ use the advanced interface.

python -m pytest test_vendor_import.py
The import smoke runs without an API key and without application services/
or db/ packages. No package or registry publication is performed by tests.
