Every tool call takesapiKeyas a string parameter. Get a free key at](https://lab.flashalpha.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource)[flashalpha.com.

Key passes per-call rather than in a header so it works uniformly across all MCP clients without transport-level configuration.

OAuth 2.1 + PKCE + Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591). The client registers itself, walks the authorization-code + PKCE flow, and presents a Bearer JWT on each request.NoapiKeyparameter needed— the server resolves the user's account from the OAuth identity and forwards the API key internally for upstream/v1/*calls. Same per-user tier gating and rate limits apply as the apiKey flow.

Tool names below are theexact strings sent viatools/call— snake_case, not the PascalCase C# method names. Copy verbatim.

All historical tools take a requiredat=YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssparameter (ET wall-clock) and replay the matching live analytic at any minute since 2017-01-03. Response shapes are identical to the live counterparts — backtesting code that parses live responses works on historical with a tool-name swap.

Note:The multi-factor options screener is now exposed as thepost_screenerMCP tool (withget_screener_fieldsfor the field taxonomy), in addition toPOST /v1/screener. The historical replay tools cover analytics only; for raw historical tick data use the historical REST endpoints directly.

The server publishes 5 markdown documents as MCP Resources so connected clients can pull the full reference into context with one call instead of relying on tool descriptions:

Canonical workflow templates that surface in Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf UI as one-click recipes:

Once connected, ask your AI assistant questions like:
- "What is SPX dealer gamma positioning right now?"
- "Show me 0DTE setup for SPY today — pin risk, expected move, gamma acceleration."
- "Give me a full options picture for NVDA — IV, RV, VRP, skew, term, exposure, macro."
- "Replay SPY gamma exposure on 2020-03-16 at 14:00 ET."
- "Calculate Black-Scholes greeks for SPY 580 calls expiring next Friday at 18% IV."
- "What is implied volatility for an NVDA 900 put trading at $12.50 with spot $875?"
- "Where is the gamma flip and call/put walls for QQQ today?"
- "Compare current SPX dealer positioning to 2024-04-19."
- "What's the VRP percentile for AAPL vs its 90-day distribution?"
- "Generate a 0DTE brief for SPY before the open."
- "Run the flow-anomaly strategy signal on TSLA and show me the best defined-risk structure."
- "What's the expected move for NVDA into Friday expiry, and what's IV crush looked like the last 8 earnings?"
- "Show this week's earnings calendar with expected moves, then screen for the best IV-crush short-premium setups."
- "Price the P&L curve and aggregate greeks for an SPY iron condor: short 580/590 call spread, short 560/550 put spread."
- "Give me the SPX dealer exposure sheet and term structure, plus the day-over-day OI diff."
- "What's the dispersion / index-vs-component vol-arb read on SPX against its top components?"
- "Show the VIX macro state and the dealer-premium flow on QQQ over the last 30 minutes."

Four tiers. Annual saves 20% and locks the price for 12 months.

Tier gating is enforced server-side per tool. Callers hitting a tool above their tier receive a 403 with the required plan in the response body. Current pricing:flashalpha.com/pricing.
