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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Index Arbitrage Strategy.

  1. 01

    Calculate arbitrage signals

    This capability determines specific trade actions and profit potential based on current market conditions. It outputs whether to execute a cash-and-carry or reverse cash-and-carry move.

  2. 02

    Get historical basis analysis

    This capability evaluates how frequently and consistently arbitrage opportunities have appeared over a specific time series. It helps you understand the historical reliability of a basis spread.

  3. 03

    Validate market conditions

    This capability acts as a diagnostic check to see if the current environment supports deterministic arbitrage. It verifies if the basis provides enough buffer to cover costs.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Spotting Cash-and-Carry Trades

Your agent detects when a futures price is high enough relative to the cash index to justify a long cash, short futures position.

02

Evaluating Reverse Arbitrage

The MCP identifies when futures are trading at a discount to the cash index, signaling a reverse cash-and-carry opportunity.

03

Backtesting Basis Spreads

You use historical analysis to see how often specific basis thresholds were crossed in the past.

04

Pre-Trade Validation

Before executing, you use the diagnostic capability to ensure the basis covers all expected transaction costs.

FAQ

Questions Index Arbitrage Strategy owners ask.

  • 01

    What kind of arbitrage does this MCP support?

    It focuses on identifying cash-and-carry and reverse cash-and-carry opportunities between cash indices and futures.

  • 02

    How does it handle transaction costs?

    The engine uses liquidity filters and cost of carry adjustments to ensure the signals are realistic and account for market friction.

  • 03

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 04

    What data is needed to calculate a signal?

    You typically need the index price, futures price, days to expiration, risk-free rate, and dividend yield.

  • 05

    Does it provide historical data?

    Yes, the get_historical_basis_analysis capability allows you to evaluate the frequency and consistency of opportunities over time.

  • 06

    What is a cash-and-carry arbitrage?

    It is an operation performed when futures are overpriced. The trader sells the futures and buys the underlying index to lock in profit.

  • 07

    How does the capability ensure liquidity?

    The validate_market_conditions capability checks if open interest exceeds 10,000 contracts and verifies index liquidity before confirming viability.

  • 08

    What determines the fair value?

    Fair value is calculated by adjusting the spot index price for the net cost of carry, which includes the risk-free rate and the dividend yield.
