aktools
HTTP API and MCP server for AKShare: fetch financial data from any programming language or AI assistant (Claude, Cursor)
Runssource: GitHubPythonMITcommit 2afeea942111
Python, MIT licensed. The project labels itself: ai agent, akshare, claude, data science, fastapi, financial data, http api and mcp.
aktools runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 0.3 minutes and hit no errors on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
AKTools 0.1.1 installed via pip in a Python 3.12 venv, HTTP server on port 8888 responds to /, /api/interfaces, and /version endpoints with 200 OK
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).
At a glance
Subject data from GitHub, linked at the top of this page. Test data by Argusic (CC BY 4.0); every number links to a run page with the full log, the recording, and their sha256 hashes.
What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
- Install time
- under a minute
- Cold machine to finish
- 1 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 0 hit, 0 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- pytest passed 102/102 tests; curl to /version returned 200 with JSON; curl to /api/interfaces returned 200; curl to / returned 200
- Model tokens used
- 21,341
- Exact commit tested
- 2afeea942111
- Container image
- sha256:cdd920bce783
What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
Watch the session
The whole run, from a clean machine, at the speed it actually happened. Nothing is cut and nothing is sped up.
A recording of attempt 1, run , the attempt that decided the verdict above. The terminal recording it was made from is the evidence, stored with a sha256 fingerprint; the video is a rendering of it. Nothing loads from the video host until you press play.
The end of the recording
The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8888/version 2>&1 kill %1 2>/dev/null wait 2>/dev/null' in /work/repo Everything works. Here's the summary: ```json ``` 2026-10-30T10:14:43.255750Z ERROR codex_core::session: failed to record rollout items: thread 01a18… tokens used 21,341 Everything works. Here's the summary: ```json ```
Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
- Installed in 0.3 minutes, faster than the median of the 64 comparable projects Argusic has measured.
- Nothing broke on the way: zero errors between clone and running.
- Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
- Licensed MIT, as reported by its host.
What did not, or is not known
- Measured once so far. A single attempt shows it can run, not that it runs reliably.
Of the 65 ai-agent projects Argusic has installed and timed, aktools was the 6th fastest to reach a running state, and 37 of 65 reached one at all.
What it is a reasonable choice for
- Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
- A quick evaluation: it was running 0.3 minutes after the clone.
- Following its own README: the documented path worked with nothing to fix.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/aktools)Questions
- Does aktools run?
- Yes. aktools runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 0 minutes, hitting 0 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test aktools?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 2afeea942111. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test aktools?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.02: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does aktools take to install?
- 0.3 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does aktools need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing aktools?
- Nothing did, in the recorded run: zero errors between clone and running.
- How does aktools compare with the alternatives?
- Of the 65 ai-agent projects Argusic has installed and timed, aktools was the 6th fastest to reach a running state, and 37 of 65 reached one at all.
- Where is the evidence for aktools?
- The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
