The Alpaca plugin lets users ask Codex natural-language questions about stock, options, and crypto markets and get live data back in the conversation. According to the plugin.json manifest, it can surface historical data, snapshots, quotes, and option chain information for queries such as comparing AAPL and GOOG performance, viewing an SPY option chain, or checking when BTC hit $100k. The plugin is listed under the "Finance" category, is authored by Alpaca, and is distributed under the MIT license (version 1.0.2). The underlying service, Alpaca, is described on its homepage as a developer-first API for stock, options, and crypto trading, offering products such as a Trading API, Broker API, Market Data, and an MCP Server. Specific in-plugin capabilities beyond the examples given in the manifest are unknown.
