You.com Finance Research

Use this skill to decide how a local code agent should answer finance-specific questions. Prefer reusing or creating a small local script for You.com Finance Research API calls instead of directly invoking MCP for every finance question.

Prerequisites

For API scripts, use YDC_API_KEY when available or an MPP/x402-capable HTTP client for keyless paid Finance Research API calls.

For MCP fallback, the You.com finance MCP server must be installed and connected with a client that can tolerate long finance responses:

• Server URL: https://api.you.com/mcp?tools=you-finance
• Auth: either YDC_API_KEY bearer auth, OAuth login into the server, or an MPP/x402-aware MCP client. For bearer auth, set Authorization: Bearer ${YDC_API_KEY} in the host MCP client.
• Required tool: you-finance
