Quick Start

Step 1 — Get an API Key

Create an account at hpsilab.com and generate an API key (hpsi_...) from the settings.

Step 2 — Which option should I use?

Option	Setup Time	Best For
Remote MCP (https://api.hpsilab.com/mcp)	Instant	Most users
Python REST SDK (pip install hpsilab-mcp)	Instant	Python developers
Self-Hosted MCP Server	2–3 minutes	Self-hosted setups
Enterprise Deployment	Custom	Organizations

Option 1 — Official Remote MCP Service (Recommended)

Connect directly to the official HPSILab MCP endpoint — no installation required, always up to date.

https://api.hpsilab.com/mcp

Option 2 — Open Source Self-Hosted MCP Server

git clone https://github.com/haiyunsky/hpsilab-quant-finance-mcp.git
cd hpsilab-quant-finance-mcp
pip install .
cp env.example .env
# edit .env and set HPSILAB_API_KEY=hpsi_your_key

Full Feature Access

The HPSILab MCP server exposes all 9 tools through both the official remote endpoint and the open source self-hosted server. No MCP tool is hidden behind a local feature flag in this repository.

Tool	Remote MCP	Self-hosted MCP	Python REST SDK
analyze_stock	Available	Available	Available
get_ai_prediction	Available	Available	Available
get_iv_radar	Available	Available	Available
get_option_pressure	Available	Available	Available
get_monte_carlo	Available	Available	Available
get_equity_curves	Available	Available	Available
get_pretrade_risk_scan	Available	Available	Available
generate_stock_images	Available	Available	Available
generate_stock_research_report	Available	Available	Available

All calls still require a valid HPSILab API key. The hosted API may enforce account-level usage quotas, rate limits, and symbol coverage, but the MCP server registers the complete tool surface.

Python REST SDK

If you prefer direct REST access without MCP transport, use the official Python SDK package hpsilab-mcp. You'll need an API key — see Step 1 in Quick Start.

Installation

pip install hpsilab-mcp

Quick Start

from hpsilab_mcp import HpsiMcpClient

client = HpsiMcpClient(
    api_key="hpsi_your_key",
    base_url="https://hpsilab.com",
)

# Run all tools in one go
result = client.analyze_stock("NVDA")
print(result)

Available SDK Methods

client.analyze_stock("NVDA")
client.get_ai_prediction("NVDA")
client.get_iv_radar("NVDA")
client.get_option_pressure("NVDA")
client.get_monte_carlo("NVDA")
client.get_pretrade_risk_scan("NVDA")
client.get_equity_curves("NVDA")
client.generate_stock_images("NVDA")
client.generate_stock_research_report("NVDA")

REST Endpoint Mapping

The MCP server does not call these endpoints directly — it delegates every call to the hpsilab-mcp SDK's HpsiMcpClient, which is the single source of truth for paths/methods. This table documents what the SDK currently calls; if it and Available SDK Methods above ever disagree, trust the SDK's source.

Method	Endpoint
analyze_stock(symbol)	GET /api/analyze_stock/{symbol}
get_ai_prediction(symbol)	GET /api/ai_prediction/{symbol}
get_iv_radar(symbol)	GET /api/iv_batch?symbols={symbol}
get_option_pressure(symbol)	GET /api/option_pressure/{symbol}
get_monte_carlo(symbol)	GET /api/monte_carlo/{symbol}
get_equity_curves(symbol)	GET /api/equity_curve/{symbol}
get_pretrade_risk_scan(symbol)	GET /api/pretrade-risk-scan?symbol={symbol}
generate_stock_images(symbol)	POST /api/stock_report/{symbol}/images
generate_stock_research_report(symbol)	POST /api/stock_report/{symbol}/research_report

Capability Matrix

Capability	REST SDK	MCP

Available Tools

All tools accept a single symbol parameter: an exchange ticker in uppercase (e.g. "NVDA", "AAPL", "SPY").

analyze_stock

Full institutional-grade analysis — aggregates AI prediction, IV radar, options pressure, Monte Carlo, and backtesting into a single bull/bear verdict.

Returns: atm_iv, iv_rank, iv_percentile, risk_reversal, volatility_regime

---

get_option_pressure

Options-market positioning and dealer-hedging pressure zones: max pain, gamma wall, expected move, and squeeze targets.

Use when: you need strike-level gravitational targets near expiration or want to size an expected-move trade.

Returns: max_pain, gamma_wall, expected_move, squeeze_target, expiry_date, pressure_zones

---

get_monte_carlo

10,000-path GBM Monte Carlo simulation over a 30-day horizon, calibrated with realized volatility and current IV.

    "Monte Carlo range midpoint is above current spot.",
    "Option pressure leaves a meaningful upside weekly-high zone."
  ],
  "bearish_factors": [
    "AI prediction gives only a 34.2% probability of an up close.",
    "Max Pain sits below spot, suggesting downward expiry pin pressure.",
    "Risk reversal is put-heavy.",
    "All three AI models point down."
  ],
  "summary": "NVDA screens bearish with a 42/100 direction score."
}

Pricing & Access Tiers

All 9 tools are reachable through the endpoints above. Access currently works as follows:

Tier	Tools	Requirement
Free (anonymous)	analyze_stock, get_iv_radar, get_option_pressure, get_monte_carlo, get_ai_prediction, get_equity_curves	None
Pro (signed-in)	generate_stock_research_report, get_pretrade_risk_scan	API key

In progress: an x402 (HTTP micropayment) tier is under validation on Base Sepolia testnet. Once live, anonymous (non-signed-in) calls to get_pretrade_risk_scan and generate_stock_research_report will require a per-call USDC micropayment; signed-in access to these tools remains free. Draft reference pricing: get_pretrade_risk_scan $0.15, generate_stock_research_report $0.35 — subject to change pending testnet results. No other tools are in scope for this change at this time.

Who Pays for This

This server is built for users who already have a recurring research workflow:

• Options traders who repeatedly check IV rank, skew, expected move, gamma walls, max pain, and squeeze targets.
• Quant developers who want MCP-native access to Monte Carlo simulations, AI prediction signals, and equity curve backtests.
• Financial advisors, research writers, and market analysts who need repeatable stock research reports and charts.
• AI agent builders who need stock analysis tools for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT Agents, Cline, Windsurf, or custom MCP clients.

The strongest paid use case is not generic stock chat. It is saving time on repeat options and quant research tasks that a user already performs every week.
