FLOX MCP Server
About
MCP server for the FLOX trading framework. About 30 tools to run backtests, scaffold strategies, validate for lookahead bias, compute indicators, place orders, and query PnL from Claude/Cursor.
Explore
- Run strategies against recorded tape (.floxlog) backtests
- Compute and suggest indicators from built-in library
- Scaffold new strategies from templates
- Validate strategies for static lookahead bias
- Place, cancel, and flatten orders for execution
- Query PnL, positions, and open orders at runtime
- Explain trading decisions and retrieve event logs

Background
FLOX is a C++23 trading framework with polyglot strategy bindings (Python, Node, Codon, embedded QuickJS). Same strategy code runs from recorded-tape backtest, to PaperBroker (live data, simulated fills), to a real broker (CcxtBroker or native connectors for Bybit/Bitget/Hyperliquid/Polymarket).
