Option Desk
Options analytics an agent can drive over MCP.
What it can do
- Option Desk Status: Check the Option Desk data mode, source, refresh time, and public licence gate before requesting figures. No live feed or hosted backtest tool exists, even with uploaded history. D
- Option Snapshot Schema: Return the accepted CSV and JSON option-chain fields, safe repair rules, size limits, data-rights confirmation, and retention policy.
- Option Chain Snapshot: Summarize SYNTH or analyze a user-supplied option chain for private analysis. This service never fetches market data.
What data it sees
Do you need an account
No: the server works without sign-in
Options analytics an agent can drive over MCP.
Tools validate and import a permitted option-chain snapshot, then return Greek ladders, dealer gamma positioning, structure payoffs and chat-ready plots. The public SYNTH sample is synthetic; attach your own chain for private analysis. Call option_snapshot_schema when a file needs correcting.
No live market data, no orders, not investment advice. Source, agent skills and the local desk with simulation and backtests: https://github.com/Iman/agent-driven-options-desk-and-skills (PolyForm Noncommercial).
How to connect
How to connect Option Desk to Claude
The server address to paste into Claude settings:
https://option-desk--iman-samizadeh.run.tools
- Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
- Go to Settings → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
- In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.
Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.
Authorization
After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.
How to connect Option Desk to ChatGPT
The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:
https://option-desk--iman-samizadeh.run.tools
- Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
- Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
- Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
- Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
- Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
- In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.
OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.
Authorization
On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.
How to connect Option Desk to Cursor
The server address to paste into Cursor settings:
https://option-desk--iman-samizadeh.run.tools
Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.
Manually:
- In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
- Paste the JSON copied below into
~/.cursor/mcp.json(per project:.cursor/mcp.jsonin the repo root). - Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.
Authorization
If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.
Server tool list (13)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| option_desk_status | Check the Option Desk data mode, source, refresh time, and public licence gate before requesting figures. No live feed or hosted backtest tool exists, even with uploaded history. Do not offer hosted backtests. |
| option_snapshot_schema | Return the accepted CSV and JSON option-chain fields, safe repair rules, size limits, data-rights confirmation, and retention policy. |
| option_chain_snapshot | Summarize SYNTH or analyze a user-supplied option chain for private analysis. This service never fetches market data. |
| option_positioning | Return gamma walls, gamma flip, and max pain from SYNTH or a user-supplied chain. Dealer signs are an assumption, not observed positions. |
| option_plots | Render opaque PNG plots in the conversation. The SYNTH sample offers the market plot (dealer gamma exposure, open interest, volume and the smile by strike), the Greek ladder, and the structure comparison. Each is computed from the sample's own engine artifacts; there is no simulation or backtest for SYNTH because the hosted service has no price history. |
| option_strategy_plot | Show an option-strategy payoff as an opaque PNG in the conversation. Any structure in the engine playbook can be built on the SYNTH sample chain. A market ticker requires user-supplied chain data. Do not start a localhost dashboard. |
| option_report_plots | Return the market map, Greek ladder, strategy comparison and up to three requested payoff charts in ONE widget. Prefer this tool for multi-chart reports instead of parallel individual plot calls. Includes strategy_records, Greek units, scenarios and cost assumptions. Use those records for tables; never invent currency or a multiplier. Uses SYNTH or a user-supplied chain; never fetches live data. |
| option_private_dashboard | Create a private interactive dashboard from user-supplied data. The bearer URL and all derived artifacts expire after one hour. |
| option_validate_snapshot | Validate and safely normalize a user-supplied option-chain snapshot. Return corrections and a summary. Delete all temporary files before the response. |
| option_import_snapshot | Import user-supplied option-chain data into a bearer-private interactive dashboard. Delete the artifacts after one hour. |
| option_plots_from_snapshot | Create opaque market and Greek PNG images from a user-supplied snapshot. Stamp source, capture time, expiry, and warnings on every image. Delete temporary files before the response. |
| option_strategy_from_snapshot | Build one option structure from a user-supplied chain and return its opaque payoff PNG with permanent source and risk warnings. |
| option_delete_snapshot | Delete one short-lived imported dashboard before its automatic one-hour expiry. |
