Questions
What is the finlight-news MCP server?
Real-time financial news for AI agents: search by ticker, source, and language, with sentiment and entity data.
Is finlight-news safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does finlight-news need?
It reads FINLIGHT_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does finlight-news run?
It speaks stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as finlight-mcp at 1.0.3.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (78ec9ec71382), read on 2026-10-10. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
