TradingCalc MCP: Options, Forex, Risk Stats, Prediction Markets, On-Chain & Crypto Futures

TradingCalc MCP Server

An LLM guesses trading maths. This server computes it: the same inputs always return the same numbers, every result carries a signature you can check, and the core formulas are tested against public vectors (live count in the badge above).

Ask Claude, Cursor or any MCP client trade questions and get exact numbers back, not guesses:

"What should a BTC call at a $90k strike, 30 days out, with 55% implied volatility be worth?" "How many lots of EUR/USD should I trade to risk $200 with a 30-pip stop?" "What's my 95% Value at Risk on this monthly return series?" "What's my PnL if I buy 0.5 BTC at $80k and sell at $95k with 5x leverage?"

What it covers (77 tools)

Access via MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and other clients) or a plain HTTP POST to the MCP endpoint. No signup. The server is remote, so nothing to install beyond a one-line client config; only the Claude Desktop bridge below needs Node.js 18 or newer.

Endpoints

MCP transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP spec 2024-11-05)

Quick Start

One command or one config entry per client. Prerequisites: an MCP client; Node.js 18 or newer only for the Claude Desktop bridge and the skill installer. No account, no API key.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tradingcalc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://tradingcalc.io/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor / VS Code

{
  "tradingcalc": {
    "url": "https://tradingcalc.io/api/mcp"
  }
}

Agent Skill

For coding agents that support the skills.sh ecosystem (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and others) - installs a SKILL.md that teaches the agent when to reach for these tools instead of estimating trade math itself:

npx skills add SKalinin909/tradingcalc-mcp

Direct HTTP

curl -X POST https://tradingcalc.io/api/mcp \

Tool naming follows the workflow.run_* / primitive.* / system.* namespace convention. Old flat names (pnl, liquidation, etc.) are accepted for backward compatibility. All tools are free via MCP, no signup; 100 calls/day anonymously, 200/day with a free API key.

Self-Verification

Agents can verify all the canonical test vectors before trusting results:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": { "name": "system.verify", "arguments": {} }
}

Response: { "status": "pass", "passed": N, "failed": 0, "total": N }, where N is the current number of canonical vectors (live count in the badge at the top).

Live proof: tradingcalc.io/verify

Signed Responses

system.verify proves the formulas are correct. It doesn't prove the specific response you got wasn't altered by a proxy, cache, or MITM in between. Every tools/call result carries a second content block signed with ECDSA P-256, plus X-TradingCalc-Signature/Kid/Signed-At headers. Call system.pubkey (or GET /api/mcp/pubkey) for the public key (PEM + JWK) and the canonical string format needed to verify offline, no callback required.

Once a day the verification state is also signed and its SHA-256 is written to Solana mainnet in a Memo transaction (tcalc1 {date} {hash}), each record carrying the hash of the day before. Read the records at GET https://tradingcalc.io/api/anchors; the latest record and how to verify it yourself are at tradingcalc.io/verification.

Use Cases

• Options and forex desks: price an option, size a forex position, or check margin level in one exact call
• Quant research: Sharpe, VaR, cointegration and drawdown statistics from a return series, cross-checked against reference libraries
• Trading bots: check liquidation price before every trade
• AI agents: deterministic risk calculations without hallucination risk
• Multi-agent systems: drop-in risk management agent in analyst + risk + execution pipelines
• Dashboards: embed calculations programmatically

Why deterministic?

LLMs asked directly give plausible but potentially wrong numbers. TradingCalc MCP returns exact calculations: same inputs always produce the same outputs. No hallucination risk for financial data.

Risk Agent Wrapper

examples/risk-agent-wrapper.ts: a drop-in TypeScript wrapper for risk-gated trade execution. Integrates with any agent framework (ElizaOS, CrewAI, AutoGen, Hummingbot, Freqtrade).

import { RiskAgent, preTradeGate } from './examples/risk-agent-wrapper';

const agent = new RiskAgent({ apiKey: 'tc_your_key', minLiqDistancePct: 3.0 });

const result = await agent.evaluate({
  symbol: 'BTCUSDT', exchange: 'bybit',
  side: 'long', entry_price: 83000, stop_loss: 81000,
  account_balance: 10000, risk_pct: 1, leverage: 5,
  funding_rate: 0.0001, hold_hours: 24,
});

if (result.approved) {
  // execute trade: result.recommended_size, result.liquidation_price
} else {
  console.log('Rejected:', result.rejection_reason);
}

// Binary gate for execution bots
const ok = await agent.isSafe({ symbol: 'ETHUSDT', side: 'short', ... });

// Standalone function (minimal integration)
const { approved, size, liqPrice } = await preTradeGate({ ... }, 'tc_your_key');

TypeScript SDK

For code-first integrations, use tradingcalc-sdk instead of raw JSON-RPC:

npm install tradingcalc-sdk

import { TradingCalcClient } from 'tradingcalc-sdk';

const tc = new TradingCalcClient({ apiKey: 'tc_your_key' });

// Workflows: orchestrated decisions
const check = await tc.workflows.preTradeCheck({ side: 'long', entry_price: 83000, leverage: 5, funding_rate: 0.0001, account_balance: 5000 });

// Primitives: single formula
const avg = await tc.primitives.averageEntry({ symbol: 'BTCUSDT', input: { fills: [{ price: 83000, quantity: 0.1 }] } });

// System
const report = await tc.system.verify();

tc.call() is available for raw MCP access. Full docs: npmjs.com/package/tradingcalc-sdk
