Why the edge:
- Reliability, Eulerpool Financial Data API +10: Alpha Vantage 30 (Graded as a hosted service. No status page was found. The site links none and status.alphavantage.co has no valid certificate (0). With no page there is no incident history to read (5). Limits are published with numbers, 25 requests a day on a free key and 75 to 1,200 a minute on premium plans (15). No 429, Retry-After or backoff guidance was found, and in our test calls a missing key and an unknown function both returned HTTP 200 with a text field (0). No SLA was found, and the terms supply the service as is (0). The REST API is generally available (10). Total 30.); Eulerpool Financial Data API 40 (Hosted lines. The status page lists three components with checks that were still loading, no history and a note that incident reporting is 'coming soon' (5 of 20). No incident history (5). Monthly quotas per plan are published, with no per-second figures (10 of 15). 429 at the free cap with X-RateLimit headers and a reset timestamp, no Retry-After or backoff guidance (10 of 15). No SLA found (0). Generally available (10). 5+5+10+10+0+10 = 40.)
- Payments & pricing, Eulerpool Financial Data API +10: Alpha Vantage 30 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Five monthly plans are public with prices, sold by requests a minute and not by call (10). A free key gives 25 requests a day with no card (20). The key comes from a browser form that asks for a name and an email address, and no key API was found (0). Total 30.); Eulerpool Financial Data API 40 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices and overage per 1,000 requests are public (20). 100,000 free requests a month with no card, non-commercial (20). A person registers in a browser (0). 0+20+20+0 = 40.)
- Schema & documentation, Eulerpool Financial Data API +7: Alpha Vantage 46 (The surface graded is the REST API, with the official MCP server noted. No OpenAPI document was found for the API. The MCP server's tools carry typed inputs generated from Python signatures (10 of 25). `/llms.txt` returns 404, and the only Markdown is the MCP README (3 of 10). Each function has a purpose statement, a parameter list and a premium marker, with little on when not to use it (13 of 20). Required and optional parameters are marked and allowed values listed in prose, while MCP inputs such as `interval` are plain strings with no enums (8 of 15). Every function has demo URLs and code in four languages, but no error responses are documented (8 of 15). The API has no version and no changelog. The MCP repository's changelog stops at 0.3.2 on 27 February 2026 with later changes under Unreleased (4 of 15). Total 46.); Eulerpool Financial Data API 53 (An OpenAPI 3.0 document is linked at api.eulerpool.com/api/1/documentation/yaml, but that host's robots.txt disallows every path, so it was not read; partial credit for a linked contract we couldn't check (10 of 25). llms.txt, a 449-entry endpoint index and a 13,904-line llms-full.txt (10). Endpoint descriptions say what each returns, with the same marketing sentence repeated in every section and little on when not to use one (10 of 20). Parameter typing not visible in the llms files read (7 of 15). Response examples throughout; the errors page was not read (8 of 15). /api/1 paths and a dated changelog that mixes API changes with tutorial posts (8 of 15). 10+10+10+7+8+8 = 53.)
- Maintenance & community, Eulerpool Financial Data API +7: Alpha Vantage 63 (The MCP server repository, which a workflow deploys to the hosted server, had its last commit on 3 October 2026, and the site footer says it was updated in October 2026 (30). No tags, and the newest PyPI release is 17 March 2026, so there are no dated releases in the last 90 days, though the repository shows over 30 commits since 21 July (8 of 20). Pull requests 14 and 18 were merged within a day and issue 16 closed in a day, while issue 17, a reported startup crash, has been open since 4 September. Support is by email (10 of 25). The server sits in the official MCP registry under the vendor's GitHub namespace, with no official SDKs (12 of 15). The published package leaves its `mcp` dependency unpinned, and the workflows deploy and publish without a visible test run (3 of 10). Total 63.); Eulerpool Financial Data API 70 (Closed service. The changelog's newest entry is dated 6 November 2026 (30), with daily entries through October, though many are tutorials rather than API changes (20). Contact by email; no public tracker or community found (5 of 15). Official SDKs in four languages, published 13 September 2026 (12 of 15). Package health not checked (3 of 10). 30+20+5+12+3 = 70.)
- Agent ergonomics, Alpha Vantage +6: Alpha Vantage 54 (`outputsize=compact` returns the latest 100 points, `datatype=csv` shortens long series, and the MCP server previews anything over 32,000 tokens with a link to the full data. No field selection (15 of 25). `limit` and time filters on news and a `month` parameter for intraday history, with no pagination elsewhere (10 of 20). Errors and limit notices arrive as HTTP 200 with free text under `Error Message` or `Information`, undocumented (5 of 20). Every call is a GET read, and all MCP tools carry readOnlyHint true and destructiveHint false (16 of 20). Few required parameters and sensible defaults. No official SDK, only a Python CLI and community libraries (8 of 15). Total 54.); Eulerpool Financial Data API 48 (The MCP page claims 157+ tools with no toolsets or list, and response sizing on the API wasn't documented in the pages read (8 of 25). Filtering and pagination not documented in the pages read (8 of 20). Error codes not documented in the pages read (5 of 20). The data endpoints are reads (12 of 20). Official SDKs in Python, JavaScript, Node.js and Go (15). 8+8+5+12+15 = 48.)
