This is a small helper that lets your AI look things up in the TradingAgentStack directory. That directory lists broker MCP servers, trading APIs, market-data tools, backtesters and security tools, with notes on paper versus live trading and safety controls. It is handy if you are curious about trading tools and want your AI to help you compare them.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to the TradingAgentStack directory, so it can search and read entries there when you ask. Your AI stays in charge of the conversation, and this helper does the looking up.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about trading tools, like which brokers support paper trading. Your AI sends that question to this helper. The helper searches the TradingAgentStack directory, which is a file of tool records bundled with it. It finds matching entries and sends back the details. Your AI then explains the results to you in the chat.

“Compare Alpaca MCP and Tradier MCP on safety controls.”
“Show me the full record for alpaca-mcp-server.”
“What categories are in the TradingAgentStack directory?”

What it gives back to you
