API calls fail with 'token invalid' or 'permission denied' errors
Verify your TUSHARE_TOKEN is correct by testing it directly: curl -X POST https://api.tushare.pro -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"api_name":"trade_cal","token":"YOUR_TOKEN","params":{}}'. Some endpoints require a Tushare Pro subscription with sufficient points — check your account level at tushare.pro.
finance-mcp command not found after npm global install
Run 'npm bin -g' to find the global bin directory and ensure it is on your PATH. On macOS with Homebrew Node, global binaries are in /usr/local/bin or /opt/homebrew/bin. Alternatively use the full path in the MCP config command field.
Technical indicator data is missing or incomplete
Technical indicators like MACD and RSI require a sufficient history of price data to calculate correctly. Request at least 60 days of data for MACD and 30 days for RSI. The server performs smart prefetching, but very short date ranges will produce empty or incorrect indicator values.
