Checking Indicators with the MCP Server

You can gauge market conditions by checking standard indicators. For example, use `get_rsi` to check if a stock is overbought (above 70) or oversold (below 30). This tells you when price movement might reverse. Alternatively, the `get_macd` tool helps track momentum and trends using Moving Average Convergence Divergence. It's useful for figuring out if a trend is building strength.

Tracking Price Movements with Twelve Data

Need current pricing? The `get_real_time_price` tool gives you a quick, light quote without needing the full data payload. If you want historical context, use `get_time_series`. You can pull OHLCV candle data supporting intervals from 1 minute all the way to 1 month. Also check out `get_bollinger_bands`. If price touches the upper band, it suggests overbought conditions; hitting the lower band means oversold. It’s a quick visual confirmation of volatility.

Retrieving Company and Market Data via MCP Server

Getting company background is easy with `get_company_profile`. This tool fetches fundamental data alongside basic profile details for any issuer. When you're dealing with multiple markets, use `get_crypto_list` to see available pairs, filtering by exchange. If you need general market rates, the `get_exchange_rate` function handles currency conversions.
