What is the COT Strategy MCP used for?

It is used to analyze Commitment of Traders reports to generate deterministic BUY and SELL signals based on commercial and speculative positioning.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

You can use this MCP with any compatible client including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Does this MCP provide manual or deterministic signals?

It provides deterministic signals based on strict rules applied to commercial and non-commercial positioning data.

Can I get a summary of the trading signals?

Yes, the get_signal_summary capability creates a human-readable breakdown of all metrics and decisions.

How does it handle smart money data?

It analyzes Commercial (Smart Money) positioning relative to Speculator (Non-Commercial) positioning to identify high-conviction trades.

What is the difference between Commercial and Non-Commercial signals?

Commercial participants are hedgers (Smart Money) whose positioning often signals fundamental shifts. Non-Commercials are speculators whose extreme positioning often serves as a contrarian indicator.

How are BUY signals generated?

A BUY signal is triggered when commercialNet is positive, the cotZScore exceeds 2.0, and the current price is above the 50-day moving average.

Does this capability support real-time data?

The capability processes the COT data provided in the input. To ensure accuracy, the strategy includes a filter to ignore signals if the report is older than 3 days.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.
