Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) is a market data API for financial statements, earnings, quotes, price history, filings, news and economic series across stocks, ETFs, funds, forex and crypto. Agents call the REST endpoints under /stable or the hosted MCP server.
Best for Agents doing company research on statements, ratios, DCF, filings, transcripts and calendars with one key, and US coverage on cheap plans.
Viewed under 500 times in the last 30 days · Claim it, free, to see who finds it
Is this your product? Claim it to see how agents find it: lookups through the API, MCP and letme, the comparisons it's in, and what people search for in Markets. Free, and it never changes the grade. Or verify it, or log in if it's already claimed.
Assessment. About 199 stable REST endpoints with Markdown docs for agents, a dated changelog and a free key at 250 calls a day. 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.

From our research 11 facts checked against the vendor's pages
- Surface listed
- The REST API under financialmodelingprep.com/stable and the hosted MCP server at financialmodelingprep.com/mcp, read from site.financialmodelingprep.com (docs, api-docs.md, pricing, FAQs, changelog, terms, privacy), llms.txt, the OAuth metadata and the status page on 3 November 2026. No account was made and no tool was called
- Reader note
- site.financialmodelingprep.com answered our fetch tool with 403 and plain curl with 200, so the pages were read with curl. robots.txt allows everything except /contact-card/
- API
- 199 GET endpoints under /stable, grouped as search, directory, company, quote, statements, ratios, DCF, SEC filings, calendars, transcripts, news, 13F, analyst, market performance, technical indicators, ETF and fund holdings, indexes, commodities, forex, crypto, senate and house trades, ESG, COT, fundraisers and bulk files. Legacy /v3 and /v4 discontinued per api-docs.md
- Coverage
- The FAQ says 70,000 securities on 60 exchanges, 4,500 cryptocurrencies, 1,500 forex pairs and 40 commodities, with 30 years of history on most endpoints. Free and Starter plans cover US symbols; Premium adds UK and Canada; Ultimate is global
- Rate limits
- 250 calls a day on Basic, then 300, 750 and 3,000 calls a minute, plus a trailing 30-day bandwidth cap per plan. No 429 behaviour or Retry-After documented
- MCP server
- Streamable HTTP at financialmodelingprep.com/mcp with the key in the query string. An unauthenticated GET answers 401 with a WWW-Authenticate header pointing at OAuth resource metadata. The vendor says it wraps all REST endpoints; the tool count was not read
- Response size
limitandpageparameters on list endpoints,fromandtoon time series, and batch quote endpoints that take comma-separated symbols- Errors
- A missing key returns 401 with an
Error Messagetext field in our one test call. No error reference found in the docs or api-docs.md - SDKs
- None official. The FAQ points to a resources page of third-party packages
- Use terms
- Personal plans are for individuals and non-commercial use; display or redistribution needs a Data Display and Licensing Agreement. Bandwidth and call limits can change without notice per the terms
- Legal entity
- The terms are between FMP and the customer, the copyright line says Financial Modeling Prep, and no corporate form or address was found on the site
Facts verified 3 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown
Strengths
- api-docs.md and pricing.md give agents every stable endpoint with parameters, an example response and the plan that unlocks it
- Changelog entries dated by day through 2 November 2026
- Free Basic plan at 250 calls a day with no card stated, and plan prices published without login
- A public status page and a help centre with FAQs on keys, limits and errors
- Hosted MCP server that reuses the REST key and limits, with OAuth metadata published on the same host
Weaknesses
- The documented MCP connection URL puts the API key in the query string, and the REST docs accept
?apikey=too - No OpenAPI document, no documented error responses and no 429 or Retry-After guidance found
- Status page data did not load for our reader, so the incident record is unknown
- Personal plans are for individuals only; any use on behalf of a company, and any display, needs a separate agreement with no public price
- Terms name no legal entity, and the privacy policy carries no date and no retention periods
Before you call it notes for agents
- Send the key as an
apikeyheader, not in the URL, and treat the MCP?apikey=address as a secret - Use the /stable paths from api-docs.md; /api/v3 and /v4 are discontinued even though the FAQ still shows a v3 example
- On the free plan expect 5 results and page 0 on many list endpoints; read pricing.md before planning a crawl
- A missing or wrong key returns HTTP 401 with an
Error Messagefield; stop and ask the user rather than retry - Do not display or pass on the data in a product; personal plans forbid it

The document · read 2026-11-03
A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.
The terms of service, last updated 1 August 2023, are written between FMP and the customer and name no legal form, address or governing law. The footer reads Financial Modeling Prep.
The privacy policy carries no date and names Google AdSense and Google Analytics. It keeps data for as long as necessary and promises breach notice within 7 business days.
site.financialmodelingprep.com/robots.txt allows all crawlers and disallows /contact-card/. The terms contain no clause on automated access to the website.
RDAP gives financialmodelingprep.com a registration date of 19 February 2018 at Amazon Registrar.
/.well-known/security.txt and /security.txt return 404 on site.financialmodelingprep.com. The footer's Trust Center link returns 404.
The status page is an Endpoint Uptime Status page at status.financialmodelingprep.com whose data loads by script; our reader got an error instead of the uptime figures.
The hosted MCP server's host publishes OAuth 2 metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server with a Google service-account JWKS.

Financial Modeling Prep on LinkedIn @financial_mod
Researched 3 November 2026 from public pages. No founder or named person was found on a first-hand page. The site has no about or team page (the footer's About, Contact Us and Trust Center links return 404), the careers page lists no positions or people, the terms are between FMP and the customer, and the LinkedIn company link in the footer was not opened. Investors were looked for on the site's pages, llms.txt, the terms and the careers page; nothing mentions funding, backers or a parent company, and no first-hand page outside the site was found in three searches. Shown for information, not part of the grade yet. People's accounts link to their own profiles; check them before you rely on one.

Notable
- api-docs.md, linked from llms.txt, documents 199 distinct endpoints under https://financialmodelingprep.com/stable/ with a parameter table and an example response each, and says the legacy /v3 and /v4 endpoints are discontinued source
- The hosted MCP server at https://financialmodelingprep.com/mcp wraps the REST endpoints as tools and counts each call against the account's API limits. The documented connection URL carries the API key as a query parameter source
- The changelog is dated by day, with entries on 6, 8, 12, 28 and 29 October and 2 November 2026, including a shorter default window on the Economics Indicators endpoint from 12 October source
- pricing.md lists, endpoint by endpoint, what each personal plan returns, such as 5 results and page 0 only on the free plan for many lists source
- The terms, last updated 1 August 2023, grant individuals a personal, non-commercial licence and forbid displaying or redistributing the data without a Data Display and Licensing Agreement source
- A status page at status.financialmodelingprep.com is linked from every page, but its data loads by script and our reader got an error instead of history source

| Read with the hosted lines. A public status page at status.financialmodelingprep.com is linked from every page (20), but its figures load by script and our reader got an error, so no incident history could be read (5). Limits are published with numbers, 250 calls a day on Basic and 300, 750 and 3,000 calls a minute on paid plans, with bandwidth caps per plan (15). No 429 behaviour, Retry-After or backoff guidance was found in the docs, api-docs.md or FAQs (0). No SLA found; the terms let FMP change limits without notice (0). The stable API is generally available (10). 20 + 5 + 15 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 50. | |||

The MCP page says the server supplies strict parameter definitions, but the tool list needs a key and was not read (5 of 25). llms.txt links api-docs.md and pricing.md, Markdown written for agents (10). Each of the 199 endpoints in api-docs.md has a purpose paragraph and a plan marker in pricing.md, with little on when not to use it (13 of 20). Parameters are tabled with type, example and a required star, but allowed values sit in prose and no enums are given (8 of 15). Every endpoint has an example request and response; no error responses are documented anywhere we read (10 of 15). A /stable path, legacy /v3 and /v4 marked discontinued, and a changelog dated by day through 2 November 2026 (15). 5 + 10 + 13 + 8 + 10 + 15 = 61. | |||

One key per account with no scopes, accepted as a header or as ?apikey=, and the documented MCP address carries it in the URL (20 less 10 for the query string, so 10). Every endpoint is a read (15 of 20). News, press releases, transcripts and filings are third-party text and no guidance on treating them as untrusted was found (5 of 15). No usage log or per-call record for the key holder was found (0 of 15). security.txt returns 404, the Trust Center link returns 404, and no disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification was found (0 of 20). 10 + 15 + 5 + 0 + 0 = 30. | |||

Graded 48.7 D methodology v0.7
Fix list 19 items, the biggest gain first
Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on Financial Modeling Prep. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.
You're lucky. As part of the beta, your first month is free.
What we couldn't check
- unchecked: the status page's uptime figures and incident history, because status.financialmodelingprep.com loads them by script and answered our reader with an error
- unchecked: the hosted MCP server's tool list, count and annotations, which need an API key
- unchecked: the help centre articles on rate limits and error codes that the FAQ index names, which are separate pages we did not read
- The legal entity behind FMP. The terms name only FMP and the footer only Financial Modeling Prep; no corporate form, address or governing law was found
- Whether the Basic plan needs a card. The pricing page says $0 and the FAQ calls it a free plan; neither states a card requirement
- Judgement call, not a deduction. api-docs.md says the legacy /v3 and /v4 endpoints are discontinued while the FAQ's key example still uses /api/v3/quote and the docs keep a Legacy link. No date for the discontinuation was found, so no term is taken
- firstReleased is left empty. The domain dates from 19 February 2018 and no first-hand launch date was found
- site.financialmodelingprep.com answered our fetch tool with 403 on every page and plain curl with 200, so pages were read with curl; nothing in robots.txt forbids it
