Market Recap MCP — a one-call 'what happened in markets' snapshot.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1764+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

ToolDescription
market_snapshotLive market snapshot for a "what happened in markets" recap — major indices, US Treasury yields, FX, commodities, and crypto with current price and daily % change, grouped by region. Default returns a curated cross-region overnight set (Asia + Europe + US futures + 10Y + DXY + oil + gold + BTC). Use region to drill into one group. Returns structured numbers for you to synthesize the narrative. Keyless (Yahoo Finance).
get_quotesPREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for current stock / index / ETF / crypto / FX / commodity quotes by symbol — "what is Apple stock at", "Nasdaq 100 level right now", "S&P 500 today", "AAPL price", "how is the Dow doing vs the Nasdaq". Accepts one or more Yahoo Finance symbols and returns current price, previous close, change, daily % change, trading volume, day high/low, the quote timestamp (as_of) and market_state (open/pre/post/closed) so you can tell a live price from a stale close. Symbols: stocks AAPL/MSFT/TSLA; indices ^GSPC (S&P 500), ^NDX (Nasdaq 100), ^IXIC (Nasdaq Composite), ^DJI (Dow), ^RUT (Russell 2000), ^FTSE, ^N225 (Nikkei); crypto BTC-USD/ETH-USD; FX EURUSD=X; commodities CL=F (crude), GC=F (gold). Keyless (Yahoo Finance). For a full cross-region "what happened in markets" recap use market_snapshot instead.
price_historyPREFER for HISTORICAL closing prices and daily returns on a specific past date or date range — "what did the S&P 500 close at on August 7", "closing prices and daily returns for these four indices last Friday", "AAPL close on 2026-06-30". Accepts one or more Yahoo Finance symbols (indices ^GSPC/^IXIC/^DJI/^SOX/^RUT, stocks, ^TNX yields, GC=F commodities, BTC-USD crypto, EURUSD=X FX — same symbol space as get_quotes) plus start_date/end_date, and returns each trading day's close WITH the previous close and the computed daily return percent, per symbol. Keyless (Yahoo Finance). Use get_quotes for CURRENT prices; this tool is for any date in the past.
top_moversThe day's top-moving US stocks by percent change — PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "today's top stock gainers", "biggest US stock losers today", "most active stocks", "what stocks are up/down the most". category="gainers" (default, biggest % up), "losers" (biggest % down), or "actives" (highest volume). Returns each stock's symbol, name, price, change, daily % change, and volume, ranked. Live US market data, keyless (Yahoo Finance). These are % MOVERS — distinct from what's merely trending/discussed.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "market-recap": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/market-recap/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/market-recap/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1764+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/market_snapshot \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"region":"headline"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/market_snapshot. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "market-recap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-market-recap"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-market-recap

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Market Recap data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
