The OptionsPlay MCP server lets Claude, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible client call our analytics as typed tools — ranked income strategies, credit spreads, covered calls, short puts, trade ideas, and full technical analysis. Your agent connects once and works against the same proprietary signals (D-Edge, OptionsPlay Score) that power our partner platforms — no REST plumbing to build.
Available tools
Six tools are exposed today. Each maps to an OptionsPlay capability and returns the same data our platform uses.

- Choose Add custom connector.
- Set the URL to <your-assigned-mcp-url>.
- Add a custom header: Op-Subscription-Key: <your-key>.
Claude Code (CLI)

claude mcp add --transport http optionsplay \ <your-assigned-mcp-url> \ --header "Op-Subscription-Key: <your-key>"
Transport: Streamable HTTP (SSE). MCP protocol revision 2025-06-18. Once connected,

Tell us about your integration and we'll issue an MCP URL and a subscription key.
What's next
A production server at mcp.optionsplay.com with typed structuredContent
output (per-field schemas for the finance domain) and self-serve key provisioning is planned.
The connection model — one URL plus your Op-Subscription-Key — stays the same, so
anything you build today carries forward.
