econ-calendar-mcp

An MCP server that tracks high-impact economic events (FOMC, NFP, CPI, PPI, GDP, ISM, EIA inventories, and more) and checks whether a prop firm's news-restriction window is active right now — the rule that gets an otherwise-good trade disqualified for being placed during a blackout window.

The problem this solves

Most prop firms restrict trading around high-impact news releases, but "high-impact" and the exact restriction window differ by event and by firm. Missing that a CPI print is 3 minutes away, or that FOMC restrictions still apply 10 minutes after the announcement, is a quiet way to void an otherwise-clean trading day.
