MCP server overview
Connect DocStoX to Claude, ChatGPT or your coding tools over MCP, so your AI answers questions about Indian stocks with real data.
On this page
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets an AI assistant call tools on another service. When you connect DocStoX, your assistant can look up prices, results, shareholding, FII flows, screens and F&O data for 5,700+ NSE and BSE stocks. Its answers then come from DocStoX data instead of from the model's memory.
DocStoX runs a remote MCP server. There is nothing to install.
https://mcp.docstox.com/mcp
What your assistant gets
- 93 tools covering prices, company financials, ownership, insider trades, flows, deals, IPOs, news, technicals, themes and derivatives. The tools reference lists every one.
- Your own data. Tools such as your portfolio and watchlist read the DocStoX account you signed in with.
- Interactive views in Claude and ChatGPT. Some answers come back as a stock card, chart or screen you can click through, not only as text.
You never call a tool by name. Ask in plain English, and your assistant picks the tools it needs.
Quickstart
Add the server
Follow the steps for your app below. Claude and ChatGPT take about a minute.
Sign in on docstox.com
Your app opens a docstox.com page. Sign in with Google or your DocStoX email and password, then click Allow. No account yet? Create a free one on that same screen.
Ask your question
For example: "Which Nifty 50 stocks fell the most today, and what news was behind the moves?"
Set up your app
For claude.ai and the Claude desktop app. Works on every Claude plan; free plans can add one custom connector.
- In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors.
- Select +, then Add custom connector. Name it DocStoX and paste the server URL. Leave Advanced settings empty, then click Add.
- Click Connect. Claude opens docstox.com: sign in and click Allow.
- In a chat, open the + menu, then Connectors, and check DocStoX is switched on.
On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds the connector first in Organization settings, then Connectors. Members then click Connect. Full steps: Connect Claude.
Developer mode is available on ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu, on the web.
- On chatgpt.com, open Settings, then Security and login, and turn on Developer mode.
- Open Plugins, select + and create an app. Name it DocStoX, paste the server URL and choose OAuth for authentication.
- ChatGPT opens a docstox.com page. Sign in and click Allow.
- In a new chat, open the + menu, choose Developer mode and turn DocStoX on.
If ChatGPT reaches for another tool, say so directly: "Use DocStoX for this." Full steps: Connect ChatGPT.
Add the server, then sign in from inside Claude Code. Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
claude mcp add --transport http docstox https://mcp.docstox.com/mcp
Start Claude Code and type /mcp. Select docstox, choose Authenticate, sign in on docstox.com and click Allow.
Cursor connects with an API key. Create one at /mcp/keys and copy it: it is shown once. Then add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, with your key in place of the placeholder:
{
"mcpServers": {
"docstox": {
"url": "https://mcp.docstox.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer dox-YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
Save, and DocStoX appears in Cursor's MCP list.
VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Windsurf are covered in Claude Code, Cursor and other clients.
Two ways to sign in
| How it works | Use it for | |
|---|---|---|
| Sign in with DocStoX | Your app opens docstox.com and you approve access. Your app never sees your password. | Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, VS Code and Codex |
| API key | You create a key that starts with dox- and your app sends it as Authorization: Bearer dox-... | Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and any client without sign-in |
Keys are created, named and revoked at /mcp/keys. See Sign-in and API keys.
Limits
| Free | Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Tool calls per day | 50 | 5,000 |
| Tool calls per rolling 30 days | 1,000 | No separate cap |
| Tools you can use | 57 in full, 6 with shortened results | All 93 |
The daily count resets at 00:00 UTC, which is 05:30 IST. When a Free account calls a Pro tool, the tool explains what Pro returns instead of the data, and that call is not counted. The read_me guide tool is never counted.
You can see what you have used at /mcp/keys. Usage and limits has the details.
Read-only, and yours to revoke
- Nothing is written. Every tool reads data. None can place a trade, move money, or change your portfolio or watchlist.
- What DocStoX sees is the tool calls your AI makes and their arguments, such as a stock symbol. Not your conversation.
- Revoke any time. Disconnect an app or revoke a key at /mcp/keys. It stops working on its next call.
The privacy policy covers this under "AI assistant connectors (MCP)".
