Using the MCP Server for Market Analysis

The `get_macd` function helps you analyze momentum and trends using Moving Average Convergence Divergence. This is a core capability for building financial code blocks. Another useful tool is `get_stochastic`. It determines if an asset is overbought or oversold by checking values relative to 80 and 20.

Retrieving Stock Quotes via VS Code Copilot

To get a quick snapshot of current pricing, use `get_quote`. This provides the full real-time stock quote you need for your engineering task. If you are building out code that requires multiple assets, run `get_stock_list` to pull available symbols. You can filter this list by exchange or partial symbol match.

Managing Financial Data with Twelve Data

To get historical OHLCV candle data, the `get_time_series` tool supports intervals from 1 minute up to 1 month. This is essential for backtesting code. Need a general view of what's available? Use `search_symbols`. It lets you filter by instrument type and exchange to keep your team's codebase clean.
