QuantGPT vs the EODHD MCP server
UPDATED SEPTEMBER 27, 2026 · WRITTEN BY QUANTGPT
// THE SHORT VERSION
Both plug into Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor over MCP. They do different jobs. The EODHD server is a data service: 72 read-only tools that fetch prices, fundamentals, news, options and macro into your AI's context. QuantGPT is an engine: your AI sends a question, the computation runs on our side against decades of market history, and the answer comes back with the numbers that produced it.
If you want your AI to look something up, EODHD is a good choice and it has a free tier. If you want your AI to find out what would have happened, that is what QuantGPT is for.
// SIDE BY SIDE
| EODHD MCP | QUANTGPT MCP | |
|---|---|---|
| What a tool call does | Fetches rows: prices, fundamentals, news, technicals, options, macro, calendars. | Runs a computation: a backtest, a parameter sweep, an event study, a stock grade, a screen, bounded SQL across the warehouse, a branded chart. |
| Where the analysis happens | Mostly in your AI's context; EODHD computes technical indicators and pivot levels server-side. | On our side, over the whole history. Your AI receives the result. |
| History | 30+ years on paid plans (end-of-day, plus intraday and US tick per its MCP page). | Decades of US equities, companies that later delisted priced from 1998, fundamentals joined by filing date. |
| Markets | Global: 70+ exchanges, forex, crypto, live quotes, US options chains, news and sentiment. | US equities in depth, plus crypto, commodities, FRED macro, prediction markets and weather. No live quotes, no news feed. |
| Checking the work | You check the calculations your AI runs on the fetched data. | Every result ships with the numbers behind it, and the underlying data can be checked at the public verify page. |
| Price | Free tier (20 calls a day); paid personal plans from $19.99 a month (as of 2026-09-27). | QuantGPT $49 a month and QuantGPT Pro $149 a month, each with a 3-day trial on the plan's full daily limits. |
// WHERE EODHD WINS
Coverage. If your question is about a stock listed in Tokyo, a currency pair, today's headlines, or a live quote, EODHD has it and we do not. Its free tier (20 calls a day) is a low-cost way to give an AI market data.
// WHERE QUANTGPT WINS
Anything that needs more history than a context window can hold. A question like what did the market do in the year after breadth went weak while ten stocks held a record share of the index touches decades of monthly data across thousands of companies. That is hard to do through fetch tools inside a context window. On QuantGPT it is one call. Companies that later delisted are in the market-wide backtest universe from 1998; earlier years hold survivors only. Backtests start in 1998 unless you pick another year.
Survivorship matters more than it sounds. A backtest run only on the companies that exist today quietly deletes every loser, and the result looks better than anything anyone could actually have earned.
// USING BOTH
They do not compete for the same slot. Connect both: EODHD for lookups and global coverage, QuantGPT for research and backtests. Your AI will pick the right one for each question.
// MORE COMPARISONS
