Two architectures

Your Agent, Not Our Assistant

The usual build is an AI assistant inside the product: the AI lives with the provider, you visit it. We build the opposite direction — our data goes to your agent, whether that is Claude, an IDE agent, or your own code. And the execution layer belongs to you: we deliver the evidence, nothing ever trades here.

This contrasts two ways of building, not any particular provider.

What your agent gets

🔌

MCP

82 MCP tools for your agent — cycle, macro regime, on-chain, backtests, screeners — over one streamable-HTTP connector.

🌐

REST

The same evidence as JSON with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec — free tier without a card, free API key for the authenticated surfaces.

x402

Pay per call in USDC on Base: snapshots from $0.01, backtests $0.10, universe runs $0.50 — fixed, pre-quoted, no subscription.

The content is the same evidence humans see here: point-in-time cycle scores, DSR-corrected strategy evaluations, base rates with n and confidence. One example: Is your best parameter a plateau or a spike? A result that only works at exactly one setting or on exactly one asset is a draw — not a strategy. The Robustness Field checks the neighborhood of every backtest.

Connected in a minute

In Claude (Desktop or claude.ai), add a custom connector with this URL — done:

Other MCP clients, curl examples and the x402 details live in the technical overview.

Read-only by design: writes are limited to alert subscriptions and saved backtests. All output is evidence and base rates for research and education — not financial advice. What your agent does with it is your call.
