About Tapetide
Tapetide is an AI-first stock research platform for Indian markets (NSE/BSE). Our flagship is Tape AI — a natural-language assistant that answers questions about any stock with live charts, fundamentals, FII/DII flows, shareholding, corporate actions, and news. The same data layer also powers a fast web app and a programmatic API for developers and quants.

- Ship and monitor the APIs and MCP tools that expose this data to users
Requirements
