Option Desk — Claude Code MCP server for options analysis
Analyze option chains with Greeks, positioning views, strategy comparisons, and payoff charts. A local dashboard also lets you inspect a supplied synthetic sample.
claude mcp add --transport http optiondesk https://optiondesk.avidquant.com/mcpWhat Option Desk does
Option Desk gives an agent tools for examining option chains, reviewing Greeks and positioning, and comparing structures by their modeled payoffs. Research results can be kept as readable files. A local dashboard brings the chain, assumptions, and findings together.
The supplied sample runs without an external data provider after installation, but it requires Git and Python 3.11 or later. Its contracts and valuation scenario are synthetic, so the charts are not market observations. Keep that distinction in mind when interpreting the sample.
What it helps with
- inspect Greeks across an option chain
- compare positioning and open interest
- view strategy legs and breakeven levels
- plot modeled structure payoffs
Example prompts for the agent
- Review the Greeks and positioning in this option chain.
- Compare these structures by their modeled payoff and plot the results.
- Show the synthetic sample in the local dashboard.
