Prerequisites

Before installing the yfinance MCP server, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• Python 3.6 or higher
• pip package manager

Option A: Quick Start with npx

Although there is no NPM package specified, you can run the server directly from the repository if you have cloned it.
