Step 2: Installation

Choose your preferred integration method based on your use case

For Python developers building AI applications

pip install qandle-ai

For JavaScript/Node.js developers

npm install qandle-ai

Quick Setup

→ Follow the MCP Server setup guide

Initialize the Client

Step 3: Setup

Import and configure the Qandle AI client with your API key

Configuration

Environment Variables

Set up environment variable for secure configuration:

  • QANDLE_API_KEY: Your Qandle AI API key (required)
from qandle_ai import QandleClient

# Initialize the client (automatically uses environment variables)
client = QandleClient()

const QandleClient = require('qandle-ai');

// Initialize the client (automatically uses environment variables)
const client = new QandleClient();

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Qandle AI": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.qandle.ai/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Platform-specific setup

→ See detailed MCP configuration guide

Make Your First Request

Step 4: Test Drive

Try your first API call to get financial data

# Get stock summary
summary = client.get("AAPL")
print(summary)

// Get stock summary
client.get('AAPL').then(summary => {
    console.log(summary);
});

Simply ask your AI assistant:

Can you get me a financial summary for Apple (AAPL)?

The AI will automatically use Qandle AI's MCP server to retrieve the data!
