# Stock Price Change

Retrieve comprehensive price change statistics across multiple time periods using the Octagon MCP server.

## Prerequisites

Ensure Octagon MCP is configured in your AI agent (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, etc.). See [references/mcp-setup.md](references/mcp-setup.md) for installation instructions.

## Workflow

### 1. Identify the Stock

Determine the ticker symbol for the company you want to analyze (e.g., AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL).

### 2. Execute Query via Octagon MCP

Use the `octagon-agent` tool with a natural language prompt:

```
Get stock price change statistics for the symbol <TICKER>.
```

**MCP Call Format:**

```json
{
  "server": "octagon-mcp",
  "toolName": "octagon-agent",
  "arguments": {
    "prompt": "Get stock price change statistics for the symbol AAPL."
  }
}
```

### 3. Expected Output

The agent returns price change data across multiple timeframes:

| Time Period | Percentage Change |
|-------------|-------------------|
| 1 Day | 4.06% |
| 5 Days | 4.80% |
| 1 Month | -0.37% |
| 3 Months | -0.13% |
| 6 Months | 33.42% |
| Year-to-Date (YTD) | -0.37% |
| 1 Year | 18.42% |
| 3 Years | 79.03% |
| 5 Years | 100.02% |
| 10 Years | 1,043.14% |
| All-Time High | 210,270.08% |

**Key Insight**: Strong long-term growth with 10-year return of 1,043.14%, but recent short-term performance slightly negative.
