  • Real-Time & Historical Trades — Access tick-by-tick trade data to analyze precise market movements and execution prices
  • Company Fundamentals — Retrieve detailed metadata for stock tickers, including industry classifications and company descriptions
  • Dividend Tracking — List historical cash dividend distributions, frequencies, and ex-dividend dates for specific assets
  • Ticker Discovery — Query the full list of supported tickers and financial instruments available on the platform

Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Polygon.io into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Polygon.io and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 6 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

  • Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

  • Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards

  • MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

  • VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I get historical price data for a specific stock over a date range?

Yes. Use the get_aggregates tool by providing the ticker, multiplier, timespan (e.g., 'day'), and the 'from' and 'to' dates. The agent will return the OHLCV bars for that period.

02

How do I find the description and industry of a specific company?

Simply use the get_company tool with the stock ticker (e.g., 'AAPL'). It will retrieve the official company metadata, including its business description and industry classification.

03

Is it possible to see the most recent trades for a ticker?

Yes! The list_trades tool allows you to fetch tick-by-tick trade data for a specific ticker, showing execution prices and sizes as they happen in the market.

04

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

05

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

06

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

07

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.

08

Tools not appearing in Cursor

Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.

09

Server shows as disconnected

Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
