Tapetide

Tapetide is a research platform for Indian equities that brings company data, market activity, screening, and AI access into one product. It covers stocks listed on the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange, with the company saying its MCP server reaches roughly 8,000 securities. An investor can look up a company on the web, run a screen, follow institutional flows, or ask TapeAi a market question. Developers and AI users can reach the same research base through a REST API or Model Context Protocol server.

The platform addresses a practical research problem. Indian market information often sits across exchange filings, financial statements, price feeds, ownership disclosures, options data, and separate market dashboards. Tapetide aggregates licensed and public sources, cleans and structures them, and presents them around the company or market question being researched. Its company coverage includes daily price data, quarterly and annual statements, key valuation and profitability ratios, shareholding patterns, technical indicators, analyst estimates, filings, mutual fund holdings, and corporate actions. Broader views cover FII and DII activity, IPOs, bulk and block deals, index valuations, India VIX, and other market activity.

Screening is one of the clearest ways to use it. The MCP catalog exposes 326 ratios for fundamental screens, plus technical filters for measures such as RSI, MACD, moving averages, and volume. Researchers can narrow a market, compare peers, inspect a company profile, or move from a shortlist into statements and ownership history. Tapetide also publishes its own score on a 0 to 100 scale with six pillars, a confidence indicator, and governance flags. Risk research can extend into promoter pledges, credit rating changes, company disclosures, and management commentary from earnings calls and investor presentations.

The MCP server turns that dataset into tools an assistant can call. Tapetide lists 55 tools covering company research, screens, prices, institutional flows, indices, options, filings, scores, portfolios, and watchlists. It publishes setup paths for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, and other MCP clients. A hosted server URL handles the connection, with Google sign-in for supported apps or personal tokens for clients that use custom headers. Once connected, a researcher can ask follow-up questions in ordinary language while the assistant retrieves the figures. The site is careful to say that example prompts aren't generated research results and that answers still depend on the available data and the chosen AI app.

Tapetide fits active investors who focus on NSE and BSE companies, analysts who want a broad first pass before reading source documents, and developers building Indian market research tools. Portfolio and watchlist access makes it useful for reviewing holdings, concentration, and sector exposure through an AI conversation. Historical tools cover prices, reporting dates, corporate actions, and index membership, while options tools include end-of-day chains, open interest, Greeks, and implied volatility history. The product is a data and research aid rather than an adviser. Tapetide explicitly says it isn't registered with SEBI as an investment adviser and doesn't provide stock tips or buy and sell recommendations.

Its strongest distinction is the narrow commitment to Indian public markets combined with several ways to work. The public web product is useful without an AI client, and the MCP layer lets users carry the data into an assistant they already use. Tapetide says fundamentals and prices refresh every trading day, while some market activity updates during the session. It also warns that financial data may be delayed or contain errors and recommends checking official exchange sources for critical decisions. That posture matters because a large catalog and conversational access can speed up discovery, but they don't remove the need to verify a number or read the underlying filing.

Access is freemium. The forever free plan lists 50 MCP calls per day, the stock screener, FII and DII data, and community support without requiring a credit card. Paid Starter, Pro, and Pro+ plans add higher MCP and TapeAi allowances, with listed monthly equivalents of ₹299, ₹599, and ₹899 when charged yearly. New paid accounts get a seven-day trial, and an Enterprise plan adds unlimited usage, bulk exports, custom API access, onboarding, and custom service terms. TapeAi allowances can change with upstream AI costs, so frequent users should check the live limits before choosing a plan.
