How is this different from asking Claude about a stock normally?

Without the connection, Claude answers from training data that may be months old, and it can invent numbers. With the connection, every figure comes from a live tool call against actual NSE and BSE data, including data Claude could never guess, like delivery percentages and conviction factors.

Can it compare several stocks at once?

Yes. Ask something like 'Compare HDFCBANK, ICICIBANK and KOTAKBANK on valuation, quality and conviction' and it pulls a structured side-by-side comparison.

Does it tell me whether to buy?

No, and it should not. It presents the bull case, the bear case, and the data behind both. Conviction is a signal of converging evidence, not a recommendation. The decision stays with you.
