What's BTC's gamma exposure looking like into Friday's expiry?
Call wall at 92,000, put support at 86,500, HVL at 88,200. Spot is pinned just above HVL, so dealers are still short gamma into the close.

The protocol connecting AI to real data.

Model Context Protocol is the emerging standard for wiring AI assistants directly to live tools and data, instead of letting them guess.

Plain language in

Ask for a GEX level or a probability distribution the way you’d ask a person.

Real-time data

Every call hits the same live data pipeline as the terminal and the REST API.

Works where you are

Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client - no new app to learn.

19 tools, one conversation.

The most comprehensive crypto options API, answerable in plain language. Every tool is a real-time call into the same data behind the terminal and the REST API.

Two ways to connect.

Sign in directly

Claude, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code support MCP sign-in natively. Paste the server URL, sign in with your BackQuant account, and go - no API key needed.

Bearer token

The OpenAI Responses API, LangChain, n8n, custom scripts, and older stdio-based MCP clients connect with your existing BackQuant API key as an Authorization: Bearer header.

Same plan as the API.

MCP runs on the same subscription and usage budget as the REST API - no separate add-on. Included with Crypto API, Terminal + API, and Terminal Yearly. Not included on Terminal Monthly.

Questions before you connect?

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the emerging standard for connecting AI assistants to live external data and tools. Instead of guessing from training data, your assistant calls a real endpoint and gets a real, current answer back.

Do I need to write any code?

No. Paste the server URL into Claude, Cursor, or VS Code and sign in with your BackQuant account. For clients without sign-in support, send your existing API key as a bearer token instead.

Which plans include MCP?

Crypto API, Terminal + API, and Terminal Yearly (at starter limits) are all eligible. Terminal Monthly on its own does not include API or MCP access.

What happens if my plan isn't eligible?

The client tells you during sign-in rather than failing silently mid-conversation. Trial accounts don't qualify.

Can I see or revoke what I’ve connected?

Yes - manage and revoke connected apps anytime from your API dashboard. Revoking kills the live tokens immediately, not at the next expiry.
