Alpha Vantage for AI agents

Alpha Vantage provides financial market data through an API, covering stock prices, technical indicators, currency exchange rates, and economic indicators. Analysts and developers use it to pull data for research and dashboards. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

How Alpha Vantage connects.

Users add their Alpha Vantage api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Alpha Vantage connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →
