The one key travels in the query string on the documented MCP address, error responses and 429 handling are undocumented, the status history could not be read, and personal plans forbid any company use.\n\n**Finnhub.** A public Swagger document covers 116 endpoints, six official client libraries exist, and a free key gives 60 calls a minute with no card. The key is documented in the query string, no status page, changelog, error reference or privacy policy was found, and robots.txt kept the terms from our reader.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Financial Modeling Prep\n\n1. Send the key as an `apikey` header, not in the URL, and treat the MCP `?apikey=` address as a secret\n2. Use the /stable paths from api-docs.md; /api/v3 and /v4 are discontinued even though the FAQ still shows a v3 example\n3. On the free plan expect 5 results and page 0 on many list endpoints; read pricing.md before planning a crawl\n4. A missing or wrong key returns HTTP 401 with an `Error Message` field; stop and ask the user rather than retry\n5. Do not display or pass on the data in a product; personal plans forbid it\n\n### Finnhub\n\n1. Send the key as the `X-Finnhub-Token` header, not as `token=` in the URL, and keep under 30 calls a second on top of the plan's per-minute limit\n2. Check the `premium` marker before calling; a free key reaches 29 operations and the rest answer with an error\n3. Poll /quote sparingly; the docs say constant polling is not recommended and point to the websocket for real-time updates\n4. Expect 401 `{\"error\":\"Please use an API key.\"}` without a key and 429 over the limit; wait a minute before retrying, as the MCP page advises\n5. Self-serve plans are personal use; anything commercial needs the enterprise contact route\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Financial Modeling Prep or Finnhub?\n\nFinancial Modeling Prep scores 48.7 (D) on agent readiness against Finnhub's 45.1 (E), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Financial Modeling Prep and Finnhub need an API key?\n\nFinancial Modeling Prep needs an API key.
