Silver Price MCP Server

Silver Price MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that fetches live MCX India silver prices — plus a chart image — straight from Groww.in. No API key required; the data is scraped in real time and handed to any MCP-compatible client as structured JSON and a PNG chart.

What it does

• Live silver price — current price, open, previous close, and % / ₹

change, pulled straight from MCX India via Groww.in.

• 52-week range — high/low over the trailing year.
• Volume & open interest — lot size and OI lots included.
• Trend detection — flags the move as UP or DOWN.
• Chart image included — a full-page screenshot of the price chart,

returned as a base64-encoded PNG alongside the JSON.

• No API key needed — works out of the box; the data comes from a

headless Chrome scrape, not a paid feed.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Chrome browser (runs headless via Selenium)
• Dependencies: mcp, selenium, webdriver-manager

Quickstart

1. Install

git clone https://github.com/bhavuk1409/silver-mcx-mcp-server.git
cd silver-mcx-mcp-server

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Test it directly

python test.py

3. Connect to Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "silver-price": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_metal_price"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/silver-mcx-mcp-server"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop and ask: "Get the current silver price."

How it works

1. Opens the Groww.in silver page in a headless Chrome instance via Selenium.
2. Waits ~8 seconds for the page content to fully load.
3. Extracts price data from the page using regex.
4. Captures a full-page screenshot of the chart.
5. Returns the parsed JSON plus the chart image to the MCP client.

---

Notes

• Scraping takes roughly 8–10 seconds per call.
• Chrome runs headless — no visible window.
• Chart image is PNG format, base64-encoded.
• Data source is MCX India via Groww.in and can change format if the site

changes its layout.
