Broker MCP Integration

Use broker MCP tools to cross-reference news with live market data:

Groww MCP (if connected)

• fetch_market_movers_and_trending_stocks_funds with STOCKS_IN_NEWS — stocks currently in news
• get_ltp — check price reaction to news
• fetch_historical_candle_data — verify price movement post-announcement
• fetch_stocks_fundamental_data — earnings data to compare with announced results
• fetch_market_movers_and_trending_stocks_funds with VOLUME_SHOCKERS — abnormal volume (often news-driven)
• resolve_market_time_and_calendar — trading day context

Zerodha Kite MCP (if connected)

• get_ltp — last traded price for news impact verification
• get_quotes — real-time quotes with depth
• get_historical_data — price history for post-news analysis
• search_instruments — resolve company names to trading symbols

No Broker Available

• Use web search for all data (MoneyControl, Google Finance for prices)
• yfinance as fallback for historical price data
