## Description

This MCP server provides a deterministic engine for volatility arbitrage. It identifies trading opportunities by analyzing the spread between Implied Volatility (IV) and Realized Volatility (RV). By utilizing `calculate_volatility_signals`, users can detect undervalued or overvalued volatility regimes based on IV rank filters. The server also includes `analyze_vix_structure` to assess VIX futures contango or backwardation and `get_volatility_metrics` for statistical spread analysis. It is designed to facilitate vega-neutral positioning and mean-reversion strategies.
