Why people use Parkinson Volatility Engine
Fixing inaccurate volatility modeling with Parkinson
With this MCP, you stop guessing. You give your agent the high and low prices, and it immediately tells you the annualized volatility or how that movement compares to historical norms. You get the real story of the day's price action without the manual math.
What Vinkius changes
You turn raw price ranges into actionable volatility metrics through a single prompt.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Parkinson Volatility Engine.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does the Parkinson MCP improve my volatility analysis?
It uses the high and low prices of a period rather than just the closing price. This captures the actual range of movement, giving you a much more accurate view of intraday risk.
Can I use this Parkinson MCP to compare different volatility types?
Yes. You can compare the Parkinson volatility against standard close-to-close volatility to see how much of the price action is happening within the trading session.
How do I know if current volatility is an outlier using this MCP?
You can ask your agent to provide the volatility percentile rank. This tells you exactly where the current volatility stands compared to its historical distribution.
Does the Parkinson MCP work with any price data?
It works with any set of high and low price data you provide. Your agent will handle the annualization and the math automatically.
Can I use this Parkinson MCP in my existing trading workflow?
Yes. Since it is an MCP, you can connect it to your AI client like Claude or Cursor and use it as a capability to perform calculations during your research or monitoring.
