MCP Badge

Ask Claude or Cursor trade questions and get exact numbers back — not AI guesses.

"What's my PnL if I buy 0.5 BTC at $80k and sell at $95k with 5x leverage?" "Size my position: $10k account, 1% risk, long BTC at $83k, stop at $81k." "Is this carry trade worth it? 0.01% funding long, 0.05% short, $50k, 30 days."

23 deterministic tools across trade planning, risk & margin, funding/carry, and market-structure (Market Profile) analysis. Formulas verified against 22 canonical test vectors — same inputs always produce the same outputs. Free, no signup.

Access via MCP (Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code) or a plain HTTP POST to the MCP endpoint. Free, no signup.

Example prompts

After connecting, just ask naturally — the AI picks the right tool automatically:

Trade P&L

"I bought 0.5 BTC at $80,000 and want to sell at $95,000 with 5x leverage. What's my net profit after fees?"

Position sizing

"I have a $10,000 account and want to risk 1% going long BTC at $83,000 with a stop at $81,000. How many coins should I buy?"

Liquidation check

"Long ETH at $3,200 with 10x leverage — where do I get liquidated?"

Full pre-trade check

"Analyze this setup: long BTC at $83,000, stop $81,000, target $90,000, $10k account, 1% risk, 5x leverage. Is it worth taking?"

Funding cost

"I'm holding 0.5 BTC long on Bybit at $83,000 with 0.01% funding rate. How much will funding cost me over 3 days?"

Carry trade

"Is this carry trade worth it? Long on Bybit at 0.01% funding, short on Binance at 0.05%, $50k notional, 30 days."

DCA average entry

"I bought BTC at $78k (0.2 BTC), $80k (0.3 BTC), and $82k (0.1 BTC). What's my average entry and breakeven?"

Scale-out plan

"I'm long 1 BTC from $80k. I want to close 30% at $88k, 40% at $92k, 30% at $96k. What's my total P&L?"

Tools (23)

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; 20 calls/day anonymously, 200/day with a free API key.

Self-Verification

Agents can verify all 22 canonical test vectors before trusting results:

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

Response: { "status": "pass", "passed": 22, "failed": 0, "total": 22 }

Use Cases

• 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
