TradingView MCP (Headless Market Data)
Market data via the bundled tradingview MCP server — TradingView's public scanner API plus Yahoo Finance, spoken over MCP. No TradingView desktop app or account. Most tools need no API key. The server ships with the full plugin (mcp.json for portable/Codex packages, .mcp.json for legacy clients) and starts when enabled in a host that supports local stdio MCP processes. Its 39 tools appear under the plugin's tradingview MCP namespace (load them through the client's deferred-tool mechanism when necessary). Installing only the skill does not install the MCP server; use the full finance-data-providers plugin or configure the server separately.
Read-only. Nothing here places trades or mutates any account.
When to use this vs the other data skills
| Need | Skill |
|---|---|
| Quotes, TA readout, indicator ratings, multi-timeframe alignment | this skill |
| Exchange-wide scans: squeeze / volume breakout / gainers / losers | this skill |
| Futures (NQ, ES, CL, GC…) overview, movers, category quotes | this skill |
| Pre-market / after-hours price | this skill |
| Options chain quick look (bid/ask/IV/OI, no greeks), unusual activity | this skill (fallback / positioning scan) |
| Options chain with greeks (delta/gamma/theta/vega), IV skew, expiries with contract counts | tradingview-reader (desktop app) |
| Watchlists, alerts, TV news, chart state / screenshots, custom-column screener | tradingview-reader (desktop app) |
Rule of thumb: this skill first for anything price/TA/scan shaped — it needs zero setup and won't force a CDP relaunch of the user's TradingView app. Drop to tradingview-reader only for greeks or account-bound data (watchlists, alerts, charts).
