How to Set Up and Use Langalpha
LangAlpha is a full-stack AI finance platform that connects Claude and other LLMs to live market data, SEC filings, fundamental databases, and Python execution sandboxes. It ships 23 pre-built financial skills covering DCF valuation, earnings analysis, macro economics, and automated report generation in PDF/DOCX/XLSX formats. Developers and analysts use it to run multi-agent research workflows that persist across sessions, pulling real-time price feeds, options chains, and economic calendars through its MCP-powered tool layer.
Prerequisites
- Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine
- An LLM subscription (Claude, OpenAI, or compatible BYOK provider)
- Optional: FMP_API_KEY (Financial Modeling Prep) for fundamentals and SEC filings
- Optional: SERPER_API_KEY or TAVILY_API_KEY for web search capabilities
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
Clone the repository
Clone the LangAlpha repository from GitHub to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/ginlix-ai/langalpha.git
cd langalphaRun the interactive configuration wizard
Run 'make config' to launch an interactive wizard that sets up your .env file. You will be prompted for your LLM API keys and optional data provider keys such as FMP_API_KEY for financial data, SERPER_API_KEY or TAVILY_API_KEY for web search, LANGSMITH_API_KEY for tracing, and GINLIX_DATA_URL for real-time price feeds.
make configStart all services
Run 'make up' to start the PostgreSQL database, Redis cache, backend API, and frontend UI using Docker Compose.
make upVerify the backend is healthy
Confirm the backend API is running and accepting requests before connecting your MCP client.
curl http://localhost:8000/healthConfigure your MCP client
Add LangAlpha as an MCP server in your Claude Desktop or compatible client configuration file so the AI can access the financial tools.

}Create a research workspace
Once connected, instruct the agent to create a named workspace for your research goal. LangAlpha persists files, charts, and prior analysis across sessions so you can return and continue work later.

- "Run a DCF valuation on MSFT using the last 3 years of free cash flow from FMP"
- "Fetch the latest earnings transcript for NVDA and summarize the key guidance comments"
- "Generate a PDF morning note covering today's macro calendar events and major index moves"
- "Search the web for recent analyst upgrades on semiconductor stocks and compile a summary table"Troubleshooting Langalpha
Backend health check returns a connection error or 'make up' fails
Ensure Docker Desktop is running and no other service is using ports 8000 or 5173. Run 'docker compose logs backend' to inspect startup errors and verify your .env file contains valid API keys.
FMP data tools return empty results or 'unauthorized' errors
Confirm FMP_API_KEY is set correctly in your .env file and that your FMP plan supports the endpoints being called. The free tier covers basic quotes but not options or advanced fundamentals.
Agent loses context or prior workspace files between sessions
LangAlpha uses persistent workspaces stored in PostgreSQL. Make sure the database container is healthy ('docker compose ps') and that you are reconnecting to the same named workspace you created previously.
