Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 250 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name Option Desk.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 13 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 361 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 461 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    2 of 2 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Pass
    Stable tool list

    No tool was removed and no required parameter was added in the last 30 days.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    0 of 97 parameters have a description (0%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Fail
    Website matches publisher

    The website host does not match the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 13

option_chain_snapshot

Summarize SYNTH or analyze a user-supplied option chain for private analysis. This service never fetches market data.

Discovered
option_delete_snapshot

Delete one short-lived imported dashboard before its automatic one-hour expiry.

Discovered
option_desk_status

Check the Option Desk data mode, source, refresh time, and public licence gate before requesting figures. No live feed or hosted backtest tool exists, even with uploaded history. Do not offer hosted backtests.

Discovered
option_import_snapshot

Import user-supplied option-chain data into a bearer-private interactive dashboard. Delete the artifacts after one hour.

Discovered
option_plots

Render opaque PNG plots in the conversation. The SYNTH sample offers the market plot (dealer gamma exposure, open interest, volume and the smile by strike), the Greek ladder, and the structure comparison. Each is computed from the sample's own engine artifacts; there is no simulation or backtest for SYNTH because the hosted service has no price history.

Discovered
option_plots_from_snapshot

Create opaque market and Greek PNG images from a user-supplied snapshot. Stamp source, capture time, expiry, and warnings on every image. Delete temporary files before the response.

Discovered
option_positioning

Return gamma walls, gamma flip, and max pain from SYNTH or a user-supplied chain. Dealer signs are an assumption, not observed positions.

Discovered
option_private_dashboard

Create a private interactive dashboard from user-supplied data. The bearer URL and all derived artifacts expire after one hour.

Discovered
option_report_plots

Return the market map, Greek ladder, strategy comparison and up to three requested payoff charts in ONE widget. Prefer this tool for multi-chart reports instead of parallel individual plot calls. Includes strategy_records, Greek units, scenarios and cost assumptions. Use those records for tables; never invent currency or a multiplier. Uses SYNTH or a user-supplied chain; never fetches live data.

Discovered
option_snapshot_schema

Return the accepted CSV and JSON option-chain fields, safe repair rules, size limits, data-rights confirmation, and retention policy.

Discovered
option_strategy_from_snapshot

Build one option structure from a user-supplied chain and return its opaque payoff PNG with permanent source and risk warnings.

Discovered
option_strategy_plot

Show an option-strategy payoff as an opaque PNG in the conversation. Any structure in the engine playbook can be built on the SYNTH sample chain. A market ticker requires user-supplied chain data. Do not start a localhost dashboard.

Discovered
option_validate_snapshot

Validate and safely normalize a user-supplied option-chain snapshot. Return corrections and a summary. Delete all temporary files before the response.
