MCP tooltickernews

Ticker News returns the latest news stories about one ticker symbol: US stocks and ETFs, stocks on 18 international markets, cryptocurrencies, futures and currency pairs. Each story comes with its headline, link, source, publisher and publication time, and is tagged as directly about the company or as a related market story. Paid plans add story summaries, headline tone and more stories per call.

Stop stale-number hallucinations

An agent asked about prices or rates will happily invent a figure. Enable Ticker News and it calls the tickernews tool to check the live number before it answers — so the reply rests on real data, not the model's memory.

Ground a research or trading assistant

Give a market assistant a source it can actually cite: every figure it reports carries Ticker News as its origin, so a human can trace where the number came from.

Fresh at answer time

Because the model pulls ticker news at the moment it responds, the answer reflects the market now — not whatever was true when the model was trained.

Point your agent framework at the VerveContext endpoint. Every enabled source — this one included — becomes a tool the model can call. No per-source plumbing.

Ticker News, answered

How to ground an agent in it over MCP.

How do I give my agent Ticker News?
Enable it on VerveContext and point your agent framework at the VerveContext MCP endpoint. Ticker News then appears to the model as a tool named tickernews, which it calls when a task needs it — no per-source plumbing.
Which agents and frameworks can use it?
Any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, LangChain, and custom agents all speak the Model Context Protocol. Ticker News is exposed as a standard tool, so nothing source-specific is required.
Can the agent cite Ticker News?
Ticker News is a capability rather than a factual source, so it isn't something to "cite" — but it runs on the same real-data layer, over the same MCP endpoint and key as every grounding source.
How many credits does a Ticker News call cost?
Each call costs 2 credits. Scoped keys let you grant an agent only the sources it should reach, and usage logs show exactly what was pulled to ground each answer.
How current is the data?
Ticker News is served live from APIVerve's production data engine and pulled at the moment the agent calls it, so answers reflect the world now rather than the model's training cutoff.
Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?
VerveContext runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Ticker News is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.

Other ways to use Ticker News

Same data, same VerveContext account, same credit balance — one key works on all of them.
