Agent prompt for Claude Code or Codex

Add the Yahoo Finance MCP server to my MCP client configuration and verify that it works.

What it is: Open remote MCP endpoint for stock data, market news, financials, and price history.
Server URL: https://gateway.mcpservers.org/yahoo-finance/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP (remote MCP server, no local install).
Authentication: none. The server accepts connections without credentials.
Tools (4, as last observed by mcptest): get_chart, get_quote, quote_summary, search.
Reference: https://mcptest.io/servers/yahoo-finance/

Steps:
1. Work out which MCP client I use (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code or another) and add the server under the name "yahoo-finance" in that client's MCP configuration, user scope unless I ask otherwise.
   Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http --scope user 'yahoo-finance' 'https://gateway.mcpservers.org/yahoo-finance/mcp'
   Codex: codex mcp add 'yahoo-finance' --url 'https://gateway.mcpservers.org/yahoo-finance/mcp'
   Other clients: use the setup for that client on the reference page.
2. Never write a credential value into a file that could be committed; reference an environment variable or the client's secret store, and ask me for any value you need.
3. Verify: connect to the server and call tools/list. Confirm the tools above are listed, and report any sign-in step I still have to complete.
