Install

How do I install the io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha MCP server?

io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha is a hosted endpoint at https://lab.flashalpha.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.

MCP tools · 73 exposed · ~10,826 tokens

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. 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 →

20-day and 60-day Pearson correlation between spot log-returns and ATM IV first-differences. Equity indices typically run strongly negative (vol spikes on spot down). Use to assess leverage effect strength, calibrate vanna/vol-of-vol hedges, or classify correlation regime.

Common questions

What is the io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha MCP server?

io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha. Real-time & historical options analytics: GEX, dealer positioning, vol, VRP, 0DTE, CME futures. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://lab.flashalpha.com/mcp).

Is the io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha MCP server safe to use?

io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha scores 80 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 io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha MCP server expose?

io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha exposes 73 tools: get_strategy, get_vix_state, get_surface, get_stock_summary, get_stock_flow, and 68 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 10,826 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha MCP server still maintained?

io.github.tdobrowolski1/flashalpha is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
