### Description (declared)

# wrds-mcp

An MCP server that gives AI assistants (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc.) natural language access to [WRDS](https://wrds-www.wharton.upenn.edu/) financial data for credit and equity analysis.

**29 tools** across bonds, credit ratings, financials, equity, loans, screening, and comps — plus a guarded SQL escape hatch and schema discovery for ad-hoc analysis.

> **Requires a WRDS account.** This tool is a client for [WRDS (Wharton Research Data Services)](https://wrds-www.wharton.upenn.edu/). You must have your own WRDS subscription (academic or institutional) to use it. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by WRDS or the Wharton School.

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.10+
- A [WRDS](https://wrds-www.wharton.upenn.edu/) account with access to the datasets you want to query (CRSP, Compustat, TRACE, FISD, DealScan, etc.)

## Installation

```bash
pip install wrds-mcp
```

Or from GitHub:

```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/marianosalinas/wrds-mcp.git
```

For development:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/marianosalinas/wrds-mcp.git
cd wrds-mcp
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## Configuration

### 1. WRDS Credentials

Create a `.env` file in your working directory or set environment variables:

```bash
WRDS_USERNAME=your_username
WRDS_PASSWORD=your_password
```

Or copy the included example:

```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

### 2. Add to Claude Code

Create a `.mcp.json` in your project directory:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wrds": {
      "command": "wrds-mcp",
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}
```

Or add to your global Claude Code settings (`~/.claude/settings.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wrds": {
      "command": "wrds-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Add to Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (`claude_desktop_config.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wrds": {
      "command": "wrds-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```
