# PlusE Financial Analysis

AI-ready financial data research skill. All data is ML-preprocessed and
token-optimized for direct AI consumption — no raw JSON parsing needed.

## Setup

```bash
export PLUSEFIN_API_KEY=your_api_key
```

Get a free API key at [console.plusefin.com](https://console.plusefin.com).

## Usage

There are three ways to access PlusE data. Use whichever your agent supports.

### Option A: MCP (Claude Code / OpenCode)

If the PlusE MCP server is connected, call tools directly. MCP server URL:

```
https://mcp.plusefin.com/mcp/?apikey=$PLUSEFIN_API_KEY
```

Each tool is listed in the Data Reference below with its MCP tool name.
Call tools like: `get_ticker_data("AAPL")`

### Option B: CLI (Any agent — recommended fallback)

```bash
python plusefin.py <command> [args]
```

The `plusefin.py` script is bundled with this skill directory.

### Option C: curl (Any agent)

```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $PLUSEFIN_API_KEY" \
  "https://mcp.plusefin.com/api/tools/<endpoint>"
```
