Apextick ships 8-tool market data & options Greeks MCP server, scores 5/5 TDQS
apextick_dev · reddit · 2026-11-02
Apextick published v1.0 of an institutional-grade market data MCP server (com.apextick/mcp) to the Official MCP Registry, scoring 5/5 TDQS across its 8 tools on Glama. Coverage includes quotes, valuation multiples, technical indicators, and options chains with Black-Scholes Greeks.
Design lessons shared by the team:
- Compound tools beat 1:1 REST wrappers: instead of 4 separate LLM calls to explain a price move, explainpricemove concurrently fetches intraday quotes, indicators (RSI14, SMA20/50/200, MACD, ATR14, volatility30), and quarterly earnings surprises into one compact JSON
- Strict tool disambiguation: every description states when to use the tool and which sibling tool fits adjacent tasks
- Stateless Streamable HTTP + SEP-1649 server card hosted at api.apextick.com/mcp with an unauthenticated static card at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
