Get Straight Answers to Hedging Questions

Forget about complicated spreadsheets or trying to build your own calculators. This tool gives you direct answers for managing commodity risk. It's built for people who need numbers, not another dashboard. Just ask your AI client what you need to know. Use `calculate_hedge_volume` to determine the exact number of futures contracts for your position. Then, run `evaluate_price_exposure` to see your financial risk in plain dollars. Finally, `project_net_margin` shows you the estimated bottom line after costs.

Run Calculations Locally

When you're using the Claude Desktop app, this MCP runs directly on your machine. There's no network latency. Your requests don't go out over the internet. It’s faster and more secure. This is perfect if you're working with sensitive harvest projections or proprietary trading strategies. The connection happens over a local stdio process, so your data never leaves your computer.

Works on the Web, Too

You're not tied to the desktop app. If you prefer working in a browser, you can still connect to this MCP. Just grab the URL and add it as a custom connector. Once connected to claude.ai, the tools work exactly the same way. You can run your financial analysis from any machine, anywhere. All you need is a browser.

Common questions about Hedge Ratio Calculator MCP in Claude Desktop

For local use, add the MCP server command to your `claude_desktop_config.json` file and restart the app. For web use on claude.ai, just paste the MCP's URL into the custom connectors section in your settings.

Yes. Ask Claude to "evaluate price exposure" with your commodity details. It will calculate and return the total financial risk based on price volatility.

You'll need the commodity type, spot and futures prices, contract size, and the standard deviation of price changes. The tool uses these inputs to give you accurate results.

Absolutely. Provide your gross profit estimate and hedge costs. The tool will then project your net margin after accounting for volatility risk.

When using the Claude Desktop app, your data like commodity prices and contract sizes is processed entirely on your local machine and never transmitted. If using the web version, data is sent over a secure HTTPS connection for processing and is not stored by the MCP.
