How do I connect real-time stock data to my Claude AI agent?

Use Anthropic's Messages API for tool calling: define get_stock_price with EODHD, let Claude trigger it. Upgrade to MCP server for multi-client reuse.

Is MCP better than custom APIs for AI finance tools?

Absolutely — standardizes tools across Claude apps, cuts integration mess, scales with EODHD's broad coverage.

What's the cost of EODHD for AI stock queries?

Starts at $50/month for real-time APIs; high volume? Enterprise tiers handle millions of calls.
