Available components
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 Security46
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 8 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability82
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 690 tokens (~86/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the Tickwind US Market Boards MCP server?
Tickwind US Market Boards is a hosted endpoint at https://api.tickwind.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. 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.

buyback_leaders ~102
US companies ranked by what they do to their own share count. view=cannibals ranks the largest latest-fiscal-year repurchase as a share of market cap; view=diluters ranks the fastest 1-year share-count growth. Source: company filings. The buyback figure is cash spent on repurchases as reported, NOT net of new issuance. Values: cannibals, diluters.

|---|---|---|---|
| view | string | yes | which leaderboard to read |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
congress_trades ~67
Recently DISCLOSED stock trades by members of the US Congress, newest transaction first. Source: House and Senate periodic transaction reports, which may be filed up to 45 days after the trade — the newest disclosure is not the newest trade. Members disclose dollar amounts as ranges, never exact figures.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
dca_rating ~79
A rules-based 0-100 read of how well one US stock fits scheduled recurring buying (dollar-cost averaging), computed from its disclosed filings and daily bars. Structural description only: it is not a recommendation, not a price target, and not investment advice.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ticker | string | yes | US exchange ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
insider_clusters ~83
US small caps where SEVERAL DISTINCT company insiders each bought their own stock on the open market in the last 30 days, ranked by number of buyers then dollar value. Source: SEC Form 4, open-market purchases only — grants and option exercises are excluded. Scanned over a $300M-$2.5B market-cap band, not the whole market.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
institutional_13f ~85
Which US stocks the tracked superinvestor funds added or opened last quarter, alongside how many trimmed or exited. Source: SEC form 13F, which reports LONG US equity positions as of a quarter end and is filed up to 45 days after it — these are historical positions, not current trades, and short positions, bonds and non-US holdings never appear in them.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
key_levels ~84
Historical support and resistance price bands for one US stock, clustered from its daily bars (swing highs and lows plus volume shelves), with the nearest band above and below the latest close and how far away each sits. It describes where price HAS turned before and never forecasts whether a level will hold.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ticker | string | yes | US exchange ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
risk_filings ~77
Recent SEC filings whose text MENTIONS a specific risk phrase, per EDGAR's full-text index. A mention is not a finding — the phrase also matches negations like "no material weakness". Values: going-concern, material-weakness, cyber-incident.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| kind | string | yes | which saved risk query to run |
No output schema declared.
