## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - 0 of 1 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 100/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to bonguynvan/tradecanvas).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 1 days ago).
  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 75/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 870 tokens (~124/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 8 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (7)

### `list_indicators` (~117 tokens)

List built-in indicators

Lists the built-in indicators with their ids, names and where they draw (overlay: on the price pane; panel: in a pane of their own). Search by words of the id or name ("moving average", "bollinger"). Use the id with chart.addIndicator(id, params); get_indicator has the params and line keys.

Input parameters:

- `placement` (string): Only those on the price pane, or only those in a pane of their own.
- `query` (string): Words to find in the id, short name or name.

### `get_indicator` (~101 tokens)

Get an indicator

One built-in indicator in full: its default params (what addIndicator takes), its inputs, its lines (the keys getIndicatorOutput returns per bar, which are often not the indicator id: RSI's line is `value`), its levels, and code that adds it and reads it. Takes the id, the short name or the full name.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): The indicator's id ('rsi', 'bb'), short name or name.

### `list_drawing_tools` (~83 tokens)

List drawing tools

Lists the built-in drawing tools: the `type` that chart.addDrawing and chart.setDrawingTool take, the number of points (anchors) each needs, how the pointer draws it, and the options it offers. Search by words of the type or name ("fib", "channel").

Input parameters:

- `query` (string): Words to find in the type or name.

### `list_options` (~117 tokens)

List the options of an entry point

Lists the options that new ChartWidget(el, options), new Chart(el, options) or new ChartWidgetGrid(el, options) take: each name, its TypeScript type, its doc, and the values it allows where it allows only some. Search by words of the name or doc.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string): Words to find in the option name or doc.
- `target` (string, required): The entry point: ChartWidget (the full trading UI), Chart (the headless chart) or ChartWidgetGrid (several charts).

### `list_widget_features` (~90 tokens)

List ChartWidget feature switches

Lists the names ChartWidget's `features` option takes (every switch is on unless set false). A name without a dot turns a whole capability off ('alerts', 'hotkeys'); a dotted name, one place ('toolbar.screenshot', 'menu.chart.settings'). Narrow by a prefix.

Input parameters:

- `prefix` (string): Only names starting with this, e.g. 'toolbar.' or 'menu.'.

### `list_style_keys` (~111 tokens)

List chart style keys

Lists the style keys of the chart's look and the kind of value each takes (color, boolean, lineStyle: 'solid' | 'dashed' | 'dotted', width: pixels up to 20). They go in Chart's `overrides` option or chart.applyOverrides({...}). Narrow by a prefix such as 'grid.' or 'series.candlestick.'.

Input parameters:

- `prefix` (string): Only keys starting with this, e.g. 'grid.' or 'crosshair.'.

### `validate_options` (~135 tokens)

Check an options object

Checks an options object before it goes to new ChartWidget, new Chart or new ChartWidgetGrid: unknown option names (with the one likely meant, and where an option of another entry point belongs), values outside the allowed ones, numbers given as strings, intervals, feature switch names, style override keys and values, and languages, nested options included. Write functions and adapters as strings; they pass.

Input parameters:

- `options` (object, required): The options object, as JSON.
- `target` (string, required): The entry point: ChartWidget (the full trading UI), Chart (the headless chart) or ChartWidgetGrid (several charts).

TradeCanvas is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.bonguynvan/tradecanvas. Look up TradeCanvas chart indicators, options and drawing tools, and check options before use. This page covers its npm package (@tradecanvas/mcp).

### Is the TradeCanvas MCP server safe to use?

TradeCanvas scores 82 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 TradeCanvas MCP server expose?

TradeCanvas exposes 7 tools: list_indicators, get_indicator, list_drawing_tools, list_options, list_widget_features, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 754 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the TradeCanvas MCP server still maintained?

TradeCanvas 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.

### What licence is the TradeCanvas MCP server under?

TradeCanvas declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
