Akshare one MCP: MCP server, setup and security
Akshare one MCP is an open-source MCP server that lets an AI agent access Chinese stock market data through the akshare-one integration. Its repository has 240 stars and its last commit is from October 23, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.
What Akshare one MCP does
According to its repository: “MCP server that provides access to Chinese stock market data using akshare-one”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. Akshare one MCP is listed under Finance and payments, a category of 202 servers in the directory, where it ranks #15 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: akshare, stock-data.
Installing and connecting Akshare one MCP
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- PyPI package (Python, started with
uvxorpip) - remote server (streamable-http): you connect to it by URL, with nothing to install locally
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: Python.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Akshare one MCP. That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on April 8, 2025, the zwldarren/akshare-one-mcp repository has 240 stars and 53 forks, with 3 open issues. It has more stars than 80% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 0.5.0 (October 23, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
Verdict
Akshare one MCP is one of the most solid servers in its category: followed, maintained and well framed.
