Every free alternative to Bloomberg Terminal on the internet

A Bloomberg seat costs about $27,000 a year. These do the same jobs for $0, and most plug into Claude. Every card shows what it replaces, exactly what is free, how to set it up, and a prompt to use it with Claude.

What is a Claude plug-in?Plug-in?

A plug-in (also called an MCP server) lets Claude fetch live prices, filings or economic data by itself while you chat. You add it once, with one command in Claude Code or a link in the Claude app's Connectors settings. Every plug-in card shows the exact line to copy.

Build your own Bloomberg inside Claude in 15 minutes

Five free plug-ins: prices and news, SEC filings, the economy, TradingView screens, and a paper trading account to practise with fake money.

  1. Get Claude Code (or use the Claude desktop app). Install uv, which runs the plug-ins.
  2. Get two free keys: a FRED key (economy) and Alpaca paper keys (practice trades). The other three need no key.
  3. Paste these five lines in your terminal, with your keys in place of your_key and your_secret:
    claude mcp add yahoo-finance -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/Alex2Yang97/yahoo-finance-mcp yahoo-finance-mcp
claude mcp add edgartools -- uvx --from "edgartools[ai]" edgartools-mcp
claude mcp add fred -e FRED_API_KEY=your_key -- npx -y fred-mcp-server
claude mcp add tradingview -- uvx --from tradingview-mcp-server tradingview-mcp
claude mcp add alpaca --scope user --transport stdio uvx alpaca-mcp-server --env ALPACA_API_KEY=your_key --env ALPACA_SECRET_KEY=your_secret
  4. Open Claude and ask:
    • Get Apple's price, P/E, next earnings date and the latest 5 headlines. Tell me in 3 lines what is going on.
    • Read Nvidia's latest 10-Q and list anything new versus the last one, with quotes.
    • Show US CPI, unemployment and the 10-year yield for the last 12 months. Is the economy heating up or cooling down?

Using the Claude app instead of the terminal? Add these as connectors with just a link and no install: FinanceDatabase, Alpha Vantage, Twelve Data, Tapetide (India).

The 33 Bloomberg commands people use most, done for free

On a Bloomberg Terminal you type a short code. Here is the free tool for each one, and a Claude prompt that does the same job.

Simple answers

What is a Bloomberg Terminal, and why replace it?

It is the screen professional traders use for prices, news, company data and the economy, all in one place. It costs about $27,000 a year per person. Most of what one trader actually uses (charts, financials, screeners, filings, economic data, news) is now free, spread across the tools on this page.

Is everything here really free?

Yes, every tool has a free way to use it. Some free plans have limits, like 25 requests a day or 2 years of history, and every card says exactly what yours gets. "No sign-up" means you can use it right away. "Free account" means you sign up for free. "Free key" means you sign up and copy a free code (an API key) into the tool.

How do I add a plug-in to Claude?

In Claude Code: paste the line from the card (it starts with claude mcp add) into your terminal. In the Claude app: go to Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, and paste the link from the card (cards whose line starts with https). Then just ask Claude a question; it decides when to use the plug-in.

What do I need on my computer?

For most plug-ins, uv (for lines with uvx) or Node.js (for lines with npx). A few use Docker. Web terminals need nothing but a browser.

Where should a beginner start?

Open TradingView for charts, Finviz for screening and Stock Analysis for company numbers. Then add the Yahoo Finance plug-in to Claude so it can answer stock questions with real data. That alone covers most of what a Bloomberg user does every day.

Is it safe to give a tool my keys?

Use free data keys and paper trading (fake money) keys only. Never give a real-money broker key to a setup you have not tested yourself. Plug-ins run on your own computer, and the code is public on GitHub, so you can check it.

How fresh is this list?

Free limits were read from each tool's own pricing page or GitHub page on 13 Nov 2026, and GitHub stars were counted the same day. Free plans change, so check the tool's page before you rely on a limit.
