// setup

Add to Windsurf in one step.

Windsurf supports MCP tool servers natively. Add the TickerDB config to your Windsurf MCP settings and the tools become available to Cascade immediately.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tickerdb": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tickerdb-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TICKERDB_KEY": "tdb_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

The MCP server discovers all available tools at connection time. No manual tool definitions needed.

// in practice

Market context while you code.

Ask Cascade about current market conditions while building financial applications. It chains tools automatically — get a summary, use summary event mode for historical context, monitor your watchlist.

get_summary(ticker="INTC")

Full categorical snapshot for the ticker

get_summary(ticker="INTC", field="rsi_zone", band="deep_oversold")

Historical ticker events with aftermath

get_summary(ticker="AMD")

// state changes

Track state changes effortlessly.

Most market data APIs return point-in-time snapshots. TickerDB tracks state transitions — your agent sees what changed, not just what is.

// what your agent sees

What your agent sees.

Every tool returns categorical facts — not raw OHLCV data. Your agent can branch on "oversold" without needing to know what RSI > 70 means.

// why tickerdb + windsurf

Built for how agents consume data.

Build with real data

When you're writing a trading bot or analysis tool, Cascade can pull actual market conditions to validate logic, generate test cases, or check if your strategy handles edge cases correctly.

Compact responses

Tool-call context windows are limited. TickerDB responses are a fraction of the tokens you'd need to pass raw OHLCV data.

Pre-computed daily

No infrastructure to maintain. No cron jobs, no indicator math. TickerDB handles computation and syncing.
