Windsurf MCP Server for market data

This Alpha Vantage Alternative MCP Server lets Cascade pull live market metrics without asking you first. You tell the agent to build a trading dashboard, and it fires off `time_series_daily_adjusted` to grab historical OHLCV data. No API docs required. Cascade reads the context of your workspace and chains multiple requests together. It might call `get_overview` to fetch company ratios, then immediately run `get_income_statement` to map out quarterly revenue trends. You just watch the code appear in your editor.

Macroeconomic indicators on demand

The Alpha Vantage Alternative server bypasses government websites to deliver macroeconomic data directly to your editor. Your agent grabs unemployment rates and inflation metrics by calling `get_economic_indicator` mid-thought. Building a predictive model requires tying stock performance to broader economic trends. Cascade matches these macro figures against `time_series_monthly` outputs to construct your training dataset.

Crypto and forex data pipelines

Tracking Bitcoin or physical currency pairs happens directly in your IDE now using this MCP server. When you need the latest exchange rates for a payment gateway, Cascade runs `get_currency_exchange_rate`. Historical cryptocurrency tracking is just as simple. The agent uses `get_digital_currency_daily` to populate your charts, writing the necessary API calls and parsing the JSON response before you even touch the keyboard.
