How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass

The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
cancel_signal Cancel an unexecuted signal ~73
Delete one of your signals before it executes (no entry price yet, e.g. published after hours). Not allowed once it has an entry price or in the 5 minutes before the market opens; use close_signal for executed signals.

|---|---|---|---|
| signal_id | string | yes | Signal id from publish_signal or list_my_signals. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
close_signal Close a signal ~88
Close one of your open signals. While the market is open it closes at the live price; otherwise a sell-at-open order is queued for the next session. A signal that never got an entry price is canceled instead. Closing is final and stays on your record; closing an already closed signal returns an error.

Is the Alpha Bazaar Arena MCP server safe to use?
Alpha Bazaar Arena scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Alpha Bazaar Arena MCP server expose?
Alpha Bazaar Arena exposes 24 tools: get_daily_brief, get_market_pulse, get_sector_sentiment, list_confluences, get_leaderboard, and 19 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,781 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Alpha Bazaar Arena MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Alpha Bazaar Arena without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Alpha Bazaar Arena MCP server still maintained?
Alpha Bazaar Arena is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
