Indian stock market MCP servers compared: Zerodha Kite, Groww, Dhan and DalalOS

Disclosure: I work on DalalOS, one of the four servers below, so weigh my view with that in mind. For each rival I list where it beats ours. I took vendor facts from their public pages on 27 October 2026; check the vendor before you rely on them. I keep the current version at https://dalalos.in/compare/best-indian-stock-mcp-servers

I compare four MCP servers here: Zerodha Kite, Groww, Dhan and DalalOS. Zerodha, Groww and Dhan connect to your own broker account. DalalOS is an independent research server for company data.

The short version

• To work with your own account, use your broker's MCP: Zerodha Kite, Groww or Dhan. Groww and Dhan can place orders; Zerodha's hosted server can't.
• To read what a company filed (order books, results, disclosed events) with a source and date on each figure, use DalalOS. It gives no scores or verdicts.
• You can connect more than one, since each covers a different job.

The DalalOS difference

DalalOS covers a narrower job than a market-wide platform. It sets what a company filed beside the numbers and dates every figure.

• Filing facts. get_filing_extract pulls facts and a summary out of one BSE filing PDF. A request may queue processing and use part of a small daily allowance.
• Order books and operating KPIs. get_company_operating_metrics returns the order book, order inflow and capacity a company disclosed over time. It marks missing fields as "not disclosed" and won't guess a current order book from a single new order.
• Past filings and event context. search_company_disclosures searches a company's earlier filings, and get_event_context shows the position before an order or capacity event. Both return the source page and quote.
• Results and disclosures. get_upcoming_results lists companies about to report. get_brsr returns BRSR sustainability disclosures as companies filed them with SEBI.
• Raw figures, no verdicts. DalalOS computes ratios with fixed formulas and gives no scores, buy/sell calls or target prices. get_data_freshness tells you how recent each data set is.

The others' strengths

• Breadth. I don't claim a stock count for DalalOS. Test it on the companies you follow before you rely on it.
• Your own account. The broker MCPs read your real holdings, positions and margins, and Groww, Dhan and a self-hosted Kite can place orders. DalalOS has no broker link.
• Freshness. DalalOS prices are end-of-day. Broker servers may offer live data; their documentation says what they cover.

Picking one

• You trade on Zerodha: start with Zerodha's hosted Kite MCP, which can read but not trade. Self-host it if you want trading.
• You use Groww, or want to trade from chat: Groww's MCP. You'll need DDPI authorisation to sell.
• You trade on Dhan: Dhan's MCP, which asks you to confirm each order.
• You want what a company filed, with sources: DalalOS. You can connect it in a few minutes through the ChatGPT plugin or in Claude.

How I checked

On 27 October 2026 I read Zerodha's Kite MCP page and GitHub repo, Groww's MCP announcement and Dhan's MCP documentation. For Dhan I reused a July 2026 reading, so that entry carries less detail. I took the DalalOS count from the live server's tool list the same day: 61 entries, of which 59 are current tools, plus a connection check and one deprecated alias. If a vendor publishes no number, such as a tool total, I say so instead of estimating.

If you spot an error or a newer fact, tell me and I'll correct it. None of this is investment advice.
