Market data API & MCP server for AI agents

A public, read-only JSON API for S&P 500 market data: market indicators, Fear & Greed, earnings, SEC filings, insider and Congress trades. No API key is required to start. OpenAPI 3.1 schema at https://quantustik.com/api/v1/openapi.json. This page is the reference documentation — every endpoint and every MCP client install snippet. For the quickstart, the free request limits and the flat $0.01 pay-per-request price, see the API storefront.

Endpoints

MCP server for AI agents

Quantustik also runs a hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server at https://quantustik.com/mcp (streamable-HTTP, no API key required to start) so Claude and other MCP-compatible agents can call get_fear_greed, get_insider_pulse, get_filings_digest, get_earnings_calendar and related tools directly. The hosted endpoint is the only transport we operate: there is nothing to install and no local process to run. Every keyed response carries X-Quota-Remaining / X-Quota-Limit headers. Request limits are shared with the REST API:

LanePer hourPer day
Anonymous (no key)1,0002,000
Verified AI crawler3,00015,000
Free API keyno hourly cap5,000

Pay per request, no account

$0.01 per request, in USDC on Base, no signup, no key, no card. Call a route under /api/paid/v1 and the answer is an HTTP 402 that states the price and the payee. Pay it over the x402 protocol, send the signed proof in an X-PAYMENT header and repeat the request. The same price applies to every route; the live catalogue is the source for each route and its price.

A generic MCP client cannot pay. The hosted /mcp endpoint stays free; paying needs a wallet wrapper that speaks x402, and a plain MCP client has none.

Install in your MCP client

No API key is required to start — anonymous access is rate-capped at 1000 requests/hour per IP; a free key raises that to 5,000/day. Every client below points at the same hosted endpoint, https://quantustik.com/mcp.
