What it does
Pulse for Claude Code is a plugin that draws a band of stock, index and crypto prices above the prompt and opens a `/pulse` panel for editing the list. Stocks and indices come from Yahoo Finance, crypto pairs from the public Binance Spot API, no keys or accounts needed. The plugin works in the terminal and in the Code tab of Claude Desktop. Quotes refresh 60 seconds after each round. The band shows up to five tickers in saved order and the rest are in the panel. A stock price is Yahoo's regular-session quote, a crypto change is measured over 24 hours. On a network failure the plugin keeps the last price labelled Cached.
Who it is for. People who follow stocks and crypto while working in Claude Code.
Good fit when
- You want quotes above the prompt without switching to a browser.
- The ticker list is edited with `/pulse add AAPL` and `/pulse remove`.
- The exchange is closed and you want the last close with its date.
- Crypto and stocks go in one list, for example `BTC/USDT` next to `NVDA`.
Not a fit when
- You need charts and candles: the band and the panel draw none.
- You need pre-market, after-hours or real-time prices: Yahoo gives regular-session quotes.
- Sessions run through `claude -p` or the Agent SDK: there the plugin neither polls nor draws the band.
Example request
Add `AAPL`, `NVDA` and `BTC/USDT` to the list with `/pulse add` and open the panel.Limitations
The plugin needs Claude Code 2.1.287 or newer with Mods enabled. Yahoo requests go through an unofficial endpoint with no availability guarantee, it may change or be unavailable in some regions, and the MIT license grants no rights to the market data. An HTTP 429 reply pauses the round and retries come no more than once a minute. Positions, profit and loss and the MCP server exist only in the paid Pulse for Mac app. The repository holds separate editions for other tools, for example opencode.
How to disable. Run `/pulse off` to pause refreshing, or remove the plugin with `claude plugin uninstall pulse-cc@pulse`. The ticker list is kept in the local Claude Code plugin store.
FAQ

Which commands does the plugin have?
`/pulse` opens the panel, `add` and `remove` change the list, `refresh` requests prices out of turn, `off` and `on` pause and resume refreshing, `help` shows usage.
Where do the prices come from?
Stocks and indices are read from Yahoo Finance, crypto pairs from public Binance Spot data. There are no keys and no sign-up.
Does the model see my tickers and prices?
No. The plugin adds neither quotes nor the list to model prompts and has no hooks on tool calls. Only a short command reply such as `Added AAPL.` is visible.
How do I write tickers?
