# TRIX-Calculator MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect

> TRIX-Calculator is a technical analysis engine that calculates the Triple Exponential Average (TRIX) oscillator. It turns raw price data into smoothed momentum indicators, helping your AI agent identify trend shifts, zero-line crosses, and momentum divergences without manual math.

## Description

Calculating momentum indicators manually is a chore that eats up time you should spend making decisions. This MCP changes that by giving your AI client a deterministic engine for the Triple Exponential Average (TRIX) oscillator. Instead of trying to approximate trends with raw price feeds, you can feed price data directly to your agent and get back precise momentum series, signal lines, and histograms. It handles the heavy lifting of smoothing price action to filter out market noise, making it much easier to spot when a trend is actually changing or when momentum is starting to fade. You can use it to find zero-line crosses or signal crossovers that indicate new directions. Because it's hosted on Vinkius, you don't have to worry about managing the math or the environment; you just connect your preferred client and start analyzing market momentum immediately.

## Tools

### calculate_trix_metrics
Generates the TRIX series, signal line, and histogram from price data. It provides the raw math needed for momentum analysis.

### detect_trix_signals
Identifies zero-line crosses and signal crossovers in the data. It helps your agent find specific trend change events.

### get_trix_summary
Provides a high-level snapshot of current momentum. It's perfect for getting a quick read on trend strength.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the TRIX metrics for these closing prices: [150.2, 152.5, 151.8, 153.0, 155.2, 154.5, 156.0].
```

**Response:** 
```
The TRIX analysis for the provided prices is complete:

| Metric | Value |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Latest TRIX** | 0.12 |
| **Signal Line** | 0.08 |
| **Histogram** | 0.04 |

The momentum is currently positive, with the TRIX value sitting above the signal line.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Are there any trend signals in this TRIX data: [{"trixValue": 0.1, "signalValue": 0.05}, {"trixValue": -0.1, "signalValue": 0.02}]?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, a trend change was detected.

**Signal Detected:** Bearish zero-line cross at index 1.

The momentum has shifted from positive to negative, indicating a potential change in trend direction.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me a summary of the current momentum for this TRIX series: [{"trixValue": 0.5, "signalValue": 0.4, "histogramValue": 0.1}, {"trixValue": 0.6, "signalValue": 0.45, "histogramValue": 0.15}].
```

**Response:** 
```
The current market momentum is **bullish**.

* **Trend Strength:** Increasing
* **Status:** The TRIX value is rising above the signal line, and the histogram is expanding, suggesting strong upward momentum.
```

## Capabilities

### Generate momentum series
Produce a full TRIX series, signal line, and histogram from a list of closing prices.

### Spot trend shifts
Identify zero-line crosses and signal crossovers to detect changes in market direction.

### Detect momentum divergences
Find instances where price action and momentum indicators move in opposite directions.

### Get momentum snapshots
Pull a quick summary of current market momentum to gauge trend strength instantly.

## Use Cases

### Automated Trend Reversal Detection
A trader asks their agent to watch a specific asset and alert them when a bearish zero-line cross occurs in the TRIX data.

### Momentum Validation
An analyst provides a set of closing prices to confirm if a recent price surge is backed by increasing momentum.

### Divergence Scanning
An agent scans historical data to find where price is making new highs but the TRIX histogram is actually falling.

### Rapid Market Summaries
A user asks for a quick status check on a volatile stock to see if the current trend is bullish or bearish.

## Benefits

- Eliminate manual math by letting your agent calculate the TRIX series directly.
- Identify trend reversals faster using automated zero-line cross detection.
- Filter out market noise with triple exponential smoothing for cleaner signals.
- Get instant momentum summaries instead of parsing long lists of raw numbers.
- Detect divergences between price and momentum to spot weakening trends.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you turn raw price lists into actionable momentum signals through a single prompt.

1. Provide a list of recent closing prices to your AI client.
2. The agent uses the TRIX engine to process the price data through triple exponential smoothing.
3. You receive a structured breakdown of the oscillator values, signal lines, and trend signals.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can I use TRIX-Calculator for technical analysis?**
You can provide price data to your agent, which then uses the MCP to calculate smoothed momentum indicators and identify trend-changing signals like zero-line crosses.

**Can TRIX-Calculator help me find trend reversals?**
Yes. The MCP is designed to detect signal crossovers and zero-line crosses, which are key indicators that a trend is shifting direction.

**Is TRIX-Calculator compatible with my existing AI client?**
Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf, you can connect to this MCP and start analyzing momentum immediately.

**What makes TRIX-Calculator different from a standard moving average?**
Unlike a standard moving average, this MCP uses triple exponential smoothing to create the TRIX oscillator, which is much more effective at filtering out market noise and identifying true momentum.

**Can I get a quick summary of market momentum with TRIX-Calculator?**
Absolutely. You can ask your agent for a momentum summary, and it will provide a snapshot of the current trend strength and direction based on the oscillator data.

**What is the TRIX oscillator?**
TRIX is a momentum oscillator that uses triple-smoothed exponential moving averages to filter out market noise and identify trend changes.

**How do I detect trend reversals?**
You can use `detect_trix_signals` to find zero-line crosses and signal crossovers, which indicate potential trend reversals.

**Can I customize the smoothing periods?**
Yes, the `calculate_trix_metrics` tool allows you to specify both the EMA period and the signal period to suit different trading styles.
