WSB Analyst MCP Server: Real-Time WallStreetBets Data Integration for AI Applications

Overview: What is WSB Analyst MCP Server?

The WSB Analyst MCP Server (WSBA-MS) provides real-time data access to WallStreetBets (WSB) posts and related activities, enabling AI applications like Claude Desktop, Continue, Cursor, and others to analyze market trends and sentiments. This server acts as a bridge between the rich data generated on WSB forums and various LLM clients via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). By leveraging WSBA-MS, developers can integrate direct access to real-time WallStreetBets discussions into their AI workflows.

🔧 Core Features & MCP Capabilities

WSBA-MS offers several key features that enhance its utility as an MCP server:

1. Fetch WallStreetBets Posts: Users can filter posts based on score, comment count, and content type.
2. Detailed Post Analysis: Extracts comments, links, and metadata from selected posts.
3. External Link Collection: Gathers external links shared in WSB discussions for deeper analysis.
4. Analysis Templates: Provides pre-defined templates to facilitate prompt-based market analyses.
5. Progress Reporting: Real-time updates on data collection progress.

These features enable advanced AI workflows by offering a structured and flexible data source directly through MCP.

🚀 Getting Started with Installation

To set up and use the WSBA-MS, follow these steps:

1. Clone Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ferdousbhai/wsb-analyst-mcp
   cd wsb-analyst-mcp
   

2. Setup Virtual Environment:

   uv sync
   

3. Configure Reddit API Credentials:

   • Log in to Reddit, navigate to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps, create a new application.
   • Note down the client ID and client secret.

4. Configure MCP Client for WSBA-MS:

   • Locate the configuration file for your chosen MCP client (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json).
   • Add the following example configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wsb-analyst": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/absolute/path/to/wsb-analyst-mcp",
        "run",
        "mcp_wsb_server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "REDDIT_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id_here",
        "REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

5. Restart MCP Client: Ensure the changes take effect by restarting your AI application.

💡 Key Use Cases in AI Workflows

1. Market Trend Analysis:

   • Developers can use WSBA-MS to fetch and analyze top WSB posts with specific criteria like high score or comment count.

   # Example: Fetching top 5 posts with more than 200 upvotes and comments
   find_top_posts(min_score=200, min_comments=100, limit=5)
   

2. External Resource Analysis:

   • The get_external_links function helps extract external links from WSB discussions for further analysis.

   # Example: Collecting all external links from top 3 posts
   get_external_links(fetch_detailed_wsb_posts(limit=3))
