MCP Server
Regular, authenticated AI workflows with twelve typed tools and your existing TickerLayer access.
- One API key and existing entitlements
- Quotes, trades, snapshots, history and calendars
- Claude, Cursor, Gemini and OpenAI API workflows
Market data for AI agents
Give autonomous applications access to global market data through typed MCP tools, pay-per-call x402 HTTP calls, or a portable one-command Agent Plugin install. Three access models, one data layer.
Built for different agent workloads
MCP, x402, and the Agent Plugin are complementary. Use the path that matches how often your agent calls data, how you want to authenticate, and how you want to install.
x402 Pay-per-Call
Occasional and autonomous HTTP workloads that pay for exactly the resource requested.
- No TickerLayer account or API key at the gateway
- Deterministic micro-USDC pricing before authorization
- 41 controlled REST resources across global markets
Agent Plugin
One-command install that packages the MCP endpoint with market-data skills for agent clients.
- Installs in agent CLIs and editors in one command
- MCP endpoint plus usage skills, no secrets inside
- Open, vendor-neutral Agent Plugins 1.0.0 format
Same markets, different access
What changes is how your agent connects, authenticates and pays.

TickerLayer publishes typed MCP tools, a portable Agent Plugin, and machine-readable API references so agents can discover real routes, symbol formats and response shapes instead of inventing them.
Pick an access model and connect
Use MCP for ongoing authenticated work, x402 for autonomous pay-per-call access, or the Agent Plugin for a portable one-command setup across agent clients.
