Seiche
Public US dollar funding research from source-dated Fed and Treasury observations. Live board: seiche.info.
Dated answers to common research questions explain the numbers, source dates and limits.
Seiche is an open-source money-, foreign-exchange, and capital-market evidence terminal, with its deepest live coverage in US-dollar funding. It joins public and official sources from the Federal Reserve, New York Fed, OFR, US Treasury, CFTC, and other authorities into a source-clocked research surface.
Every output keeps its as-of date, provenance, evidence status, known gaps, and point-in-time eligibility attached. Seiche is a research and evidence tool—not a real-time quote service, execution venue, or investment adviser.

Country funding references are available through money_market_context with
section="countries" (catalog) or section="countries", country="JP" (country
observations). The REST equivalent is /api/v2/country-funding/JP. Coverage is
partial: monthly references, daily curves, shared euro-area policy and national
sovereign issuers retain their own identities and dates. See the
country methodology.
Install and run
Seiche requires Python 3.12 or newer.
python3.12 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install seiche
.venv/bin/seiche pull
.venv/bin/seiche brief
Start the local REST API and terminal UI with:
.venv/bin/seiche serve
The first pull can be slower while the local cadence-aware cache is populated. Subsequent reads reuse that cache and continue to expose stale or unavailable inputs explicitly instead of silently dropping them.
Use Seiche from an AI agent
Seiche is a Model Context Protocol server. Run it locally over stdio:
SEICHE_MCP_PUBLIC=1 .venv/bin/seiche-mcp
Or connect an MCP-capable client directly to the public Streamable HTTP server:
https://api.seiche.info/mcp
The public trade_safety_risk_context tool returns only the last completed
Seiche regime, index, coverage, source-status counts, and conservative clocks.
It is metadata-only derived context, never an executable or real-money-eligible
claim, and does not inspect the attestation ledger. Stream attestations are
verified separately and never confer per-order execution authority.
Sixteen evidence/context tools are anonymous: the current funding-stress read,
cache-only Trade Safety context, historical analogs, public backtest, data
health, crypto record, institutional flows, oil/funding, FX/materials, US money
markets, world markets, connected research (research_network), structured FX
and China (market_workbench), the latest article, India–UAE funding and gold
(gift_city_context), and explicit
gold financing scenarios (gold_inventory_carry). Five higher-cost forecast,
replay, positioning, prose, and LLM tools
require an account and are omitted from anonymous tools/list responses.
Authenticated hosted MCP adds five private Agent Room preview tools for
identity-to-key binding, room creation, signed append, verified listing, and
full-chain verification. The same protected operations have REST twins under
/api/agent-room/. They are discussion and evidence primitives only: every
record is non-executable, x402 cannot unlock them, and local stdio has no bearer
principal with which to expose them. See docs/AGENT-ROOM.md.
The canonical registry ownership marker is:
mcp-name: io.github.beepboop2025/seiche
See the MCP integration guide for Claude, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, and raw JSON-RPC examples.
Data and licensing boundary
The source code is licensed under AGPL-3.0-or-later. Upstream data keeps its own terms: Seiche's software license does not grant redistribution rights over data from third parties. Public outputs distinguish redistributable observations, bounded derived context, metadata-only sources, restricted inputs, and declared gaps.
