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 →

run_script Run script ~338
Runs a Kandle script on the main chart and returns its id and latest plot values, or the error with line and column. request.security can read other symbols on the same source and other timeframes, including ones picked with input.symbol and input.timeframe. `inputs` sets input values by title and `id` replaces an earlier script; the result lists the input values. A script declared with strategy() is backtested on the loaded bars; the result then also has `backtest`: settings, summary (net profit, profit factor, win rate, max drawdown, Sharpe, buy and hold) and the last 20 trades. `strategy` changes backtest settings such as initial capital, order size, commission and slippage without editing the code; with `id` it reruns an earlier strategy with new settings. Orders fill at the next bar's open; limit and stop orders when the bar reaches their price.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| code | string | yes | Script source code |
| id | string | – | Id of a script from an earlier run_script, to replace it instead of adding another |

How do I install the Kandle MCP server?
Kandle ships as an MCPB bundle, a single file you download and open in an MCP host that supports MCPB bundles, such as Claude Desktop. The host reads the launch command from the bundle's own manifest, so there is no command to copy. Before opening it, check the file's SHA-256 matches the one the MCP registry declares for it, 64d3e0b2920d938508be6466892a7c730672c9e39847560b798652ba0fa9bb7d; the commands to do that are on this page. If it does not match, do not open it.

What is the Kandle MCP server?
Kandle is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Kernel-Hunter/kandle. Read and draw on a live crypto, stock or forex chart, run scripts and backtests. This page covers its MCPB bundle (https://github.com/Kernel-Hunter/kandle/releases/download/v0.11.0/kandle-mcp-0.11.0.mcpb).
Is the Kandle MCP server safe to use?
Kandle scores 56 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 Kandle MCP server expose?
Kandle exposes 28 tools: get_bridge_status, get_chart_state, set_symbol, set_timeframe, get_candles, and 23 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,764 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
What licence is the Kandle MCP server under?
Kandle declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
