## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 66/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 13 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 71/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1802 tokens (~138/item across 13 items; 13 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 90/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 70% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (13)

### `ping` (~22 tokens)

Ping

Liveness check for the OptionsBell MCP server. No API key required.

### `get_dataset_stats` (~48 tokens)

Dataset coverage

Discover what data is available before querying: date ranges, contract counts, symbol counts and sector coverage for the unusual-activity dataset and its daily aggregates. Call this first when unsure about available history.

### `get_unusual_activity` (~278 tokens)

Unusual options activity

Contract-level unusual options activity scan across 7,000+ US stocks (the dataset behind OptionsBell alerts). Filter by symbols, side and thresholds: Vol/OI ratio, premium (USD), IV, days-to-expiration. Rows include strike, expiry, volume, open interest, IV, delta, sector and an estimated premium. Use for questions like 'what unusual put buying hit TSLA today?'

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Trading day, YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to the latest available day.
- `date_from` (string): Range start, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive.
- `date_to` (string): Range end, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive.
- `limit` (integer): Max rows (default 300).
- `max_dte` (integer): Maximum days to expiration, e.g. 30.
- `min_iv` (number): Minimum implied volatility in percent, e.g. 60.
- `min_premium` (number): Minimum estimated premium in USD, e.g. 250000.
- `min_voloi` (number): Minimum volume/open-interest ratio, e.g. 5.
- `symbols` (string): Comma-separated tickers, e.g. 'AAPL,NVDA,TSLA'.
- `type` (string): Side: c = calls, p = puts (default all).

### `get_symbol_flow` (~135 tokens)

Per-symbol unusual activity

Every unusual contract on a single ticker, sorted by Vol/OI. Use when the question is about one specific stock's unusual options flow.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Trading day, YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to the latest available day.
- `date_from` (string): Range start, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive.
- `date_to` (string): Range end, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive.
- `limit` (integer)
- `min_premium` (number)
- `min_voloi` (number)
- `symbol` (string, required): Single ticker, e.g. 'TSLA'.
- `type` (string)

### `get_top_prints` (~125 tokens)

Top prints of the day

The day's biggest options bets ranked by estimated premium - the same view OptionsBell alert emails lead with. Perfect for 'what were the largest options trades today?'

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Trading day, YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to the latest available day.
- `limit` (integer): Max rows (default 20).
- `min_premium` (number): Minimum premium in USD (default 25000).
- `symbols` (string): Comma-separated tickers, e.g. 'AAPL,NVDA,TSLA'.
- `type` (string)

### `get_flow_history` (~146 tokens)

Per-symbol unusual-flow history (Pro)

End-of-day series of one symbol's UNUSUAL options flow (aggregated from the contracts that passed the unusual filter - not the full tape): daily call/put volume, premium, C/P ratios, average IV, net delta and the consecutive-day streak. ~75 trading days - the series behind back-tests and 'how has unusual flow on NVDA developed?'

Input parameters:

- `date_from` (string): Range start, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive.
- `date_to` (string): Range end, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive.
- `limit` (integer): Max rows, newest first (default 90).
- `symbol` (string, required): Single ticker, e.g. 'TSLA'.

### `get_flow_streaks` (~146 tokens)

Multi-day unusual-flow streaks (Pro)

Symbols with unusual options activity on N+ consecutive trading days, with the dominant side (call/put). Persistent unusual flow is a stronger signal than a single print - use for 'where does money keep showing up?'

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Trading day, YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to the latest available day.
- `limit` (integer)
- `min_streak` (integer): Minimum consecutive days (default 3).

Expiry (DTE) concentration (Pro)

Where the day's unusual premium sits along the expiry axis, in DTE buckets (0-7, 8-30, 31-90, 90+) with call/put splits. Heavy short-dated premium reads as event bets; heavy long-dated as positioning.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Trading day, YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to the latest available day.
- `symbols` (string): Comma-separated tickers, e.g. 'AAPL,NVDA,TSLA'.

### `get_flow_sentiment` (~216 tokens)

Flow sentiment (Pro)

Bullish/bearish classification of each symbol's unusual flow with a 0-9 strength score, based on call/put volumes, premium and net delta. Pass a symbol for that ticker's sentiment time series; omit it for the cross-market snapshot (filterable by sector or minimum strength).

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Trading day, YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to the latest available day.
- `date_from` (string): Range start, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive.
- `date_to` (string): Range end, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive.
- `limit` (integer)
- `min_strength` (integer)
- `sector` (string): GICS sector name, e.g. 'Information Technology'.
- `signal_only` (boolean): Only rows with an active bullish/bearish signal.
- `symbol` (string): Single ticker for its sentiment series; omit for the market-wide snapshot.
- `symbols` (string): Comma-separated tickers, e.g. 'AAPL,NVDA,TSLA'.

### `get_iv_rank` (~122 tokens)

IV rank (Pro)

IV rank and IV percentile per symbol against its rolling history (needs 20+ days). Pass a symbol for its IV-rank time series; omit it for a ranked snapshot (e.g. side=put&min_rank=0.8 finds elevated put IV).

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `lookback_days` (integer)
- `max_rank` (number)
- `min_rank` (number)
- `side` (string)
- `symbol` (string): Single ticker for its IV-rank series; omit for the snapshot.

### `get_oi_changes` (~162 tokens)

Open-interest changes (Pro)

Day-over-day open-interest change per symbol (total, calls, puts) - fresh positioning being built or unwound. Pass a symbol for its OI-change series; omit it for market-wide gainers/losers.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Trading day, YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to the latest available day.
- `limit` (integer)
- `min_change_pct` (number): Minimum absolute day-over-day change, e.g. 0.5 = 50%.
- `min_prev_oi` (number): Minimum prior-day OI to filter low-base noise (default 1000).
- `side` (string)
- `symbol` (string): Single ticker for its OI-change series; omit for the market-wide view.

### `get_sector_flow` (~67 tokens)

Sector unusual-flow rollup (Pro)

Which GICS sectors the day's unusual options premium is concentrating in: total premium, volume, average net delta and bullish/bearish symbol counts per sector.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)

### `get_market_regime` (~100 tokens)

Market breadth & regime (Pro)

Market-wide breadth of unusual flow per trading day: breadth score 0-100, aggregate call/put ratio, regime label (bullish/bearish/mixed) and signal counts. Use for 'what's the overall tone of the unusual-flow tape?'

Input parameters:

- `date_from` (string): Range start, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive.
- `date_to` (string): Range end, YYYY-MM-DD inclusive.
- `limit` (integer)
