A read-only MCP server for Robinhood portfolio research. Wraps robin_stocks to give AI assistants access to your portfolio data for analysis.

What Can You Do With This?

Once connected, you can have natural conversations with Claude about your portfolio:

Portfolio Health Check

"Give me a health check on my portfolio. What's my total value, sector concentration, and any positions that are significantly up or down?"

Claude will pull your positions, calculate sector exposure, identify your best and worst performers, and flag any concentration risks.

Research Before Buying

"I'm thinking about adding to my NVDA position. Show me the fundamentals, recent news, analyst ratings, and how it's performed over the past year."

Get comprehensive research combining price history, P/E ratios, earnings dates, and analyst sentiment in one response.

Compare Investments

"Compare the cruise lines in my portfolio - show me CCL, RCL, and NCLH side by side with their P/E ratios, market caps, and year-to-date performance."

Quickly evaluate similar holdings to identify relative value.

Dividend Analysis

"What dividends have I received this year? Which of my holdings pay dividends and what are their yields?"

Track your passive income and identify dividend opportunities in your portfolio.

Risk Assessment

"What's my exposure to the energy sector? How concentrated am I in my top 5 holdings?"

Analyze sector concentration and identify positions that might be overweight.

Earnings Calendar

"Which of my holdings have earnings coming up in the next two weeks?"

Stay ahead of earnings volatility with a personalized calendar.

Performance Attribution

"Break down my portfolio returns. What's driving my gains and losses?"

Understand which positions are contributing most to your performance.

Watchlist Research

"Pull quotes and fundamentals for everything in my watchlist. Which ones look interesting right now?"

Bulk research stocks you're tracking.

Limitations

  • Read-only: Cannot place trades, modify watchlists, or change account settings
  • Unofficial API: Robinhood may change their API at any time, breaking functionality
  • No real-time streaming: Quotes are point-in-time, not live feeds
  • Session expiry: You may need to re-authenticate periodically
  • Rate limits: Heavy usage may trigger Robinhood's rate limiting

Security Notes

  • Credentials are only used locally to authenticate with Robinhood
  • Session tokens are cached in ~/.tokens/robinhood.pickle by robin_stocks
  • Never commit your .env file or expose credentials
  • This tool cannot execute trades - it's read-only by design

Troubleshooting

"Not logged in" errors:

  • Verify your username and password are correct
  • If you have 2FA with an authenticator app, you need ROBINHOOD_TOTP_SECRET
  • Try logging in through the Robinhood app to ensure your account isn't locked

"Non-base32 digit found" error:

  • Your TOTP secret contains invalid characters
  • The secret should only contain letters A-Z and digits 2-7
  • If you don't use an authenticator app, remove ROBINHOOD_TOTP_SECRET entirely

Rate limiting:

  • robin_stocks doesn't have built-in rate limiting
  • If you hit rate limits, wait a few minutes before retrying
