# You.com Finance Research Use this skill to decide how a local code agent should answer finance-specific questions. Prefer reusing or creating a small local script for You.com Finance Research API calls instead of directly invoking MCP for every finance question. ## Prerequisites For API scripts, use `YDC_API_KEY` when available or an MPP/x402-capable HTTP client for keyless paid Finance Research API calls. For MCP fallback, the You.com finance MCP server must be installed and connected with a client that can tolerate long finance responses: - Server URL: `https://api.you.com/mcp?tools=you-finance` - Auth: either `YDC_API_KEY` bearer auth, OAuth login into the server, or an MPP/x402-aware MCP client. For bearer auth, set `Authorization: Bearer ${YDC_API_KEY}` in the host MCP client. - Required tool: `you-finance` ## Local code-agent workflow Before answering, choose the lightest path that fits the task: - If an existing local finance script exists, reuse it. Look in `scripts/`, package scripts, and the current working directory. - If `YDC_API_KEY` or an MPP/x402-capable HTTP client is available and no reusable script exists, write a small script or direct HTTP request to the Finance Research API. - With `YDC_API_KEY`, use these API request headers: `X-API-Key: ${YDC_API_KEY}` and `User-Agent: SKILL/(@youdotcom-oss/agent-skills you-finance)`. - With MPP/x402, expect Finance Research API pricing by `research_effort`; retry `402 payment-required` only through a payment-...
