get_ivLABSCO SUMMARY
Volatility screening for Indian options, expressed as percentiles rather than raw numbers.
The percentile filters and the three scans are what separate this from a data feed: you ask which names sit in the cheap tail of their own IV distribution and get a list back, instead of pulling numbers one ticker at a time. Coverage is the Indian markets, NSE and BSE.
What it is
A server over GetOutpost.in that brings NSE and BSE options market data and volatility analytics into the conversation.
What you get
- Implied volatility, realized volatility, volatility risk premium and skew (get_iv, get_vol, get_vrp, get_skew)
- Realized volatility by five estimators: Close-to-Close, Parkinson, Garman-Klass, Rogers-Satchell and Yang-Zhang
- Percentile filters on each of those four measures, so you can ask for what is cheap or rich instead of for a raw number (filter_quick_rules_iv_percentile, filter_quick_rules_rv_percentile, filter_quick_rules_vrp_percentile, filter_quick_rules_skew_percentile)
- Ready-made scans for cheap tail-risk hedges, short-vol ATM straddles and directional naked-option trades (scan_cheap_tail_risk_hedges, scan_short_vol_atm_straddles, scan_directional_trades_naked_options)
- Skew read across strikes, so the smile or smirk is visible rather than inferred
Requirements
A GetOutpost account, with an access token and refresh token written to a credentials file whose path you pass as CREDENTIALS_FILE_PATH. A current Node. Installed globally from npm, or dropped into Claude Desktop as a .mcpb bundle.
Setup effort
One command plus credentials — npm install -g getoutpost-mcp-server, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Finding out whether an option looks expensive right now
Read the implied volatility and the volatility risk premium together, so the price is judged against what actually realized.
02
Screening for cheap protection
Run the tail-risk hedge scan, then check the candidates sit low in their own IV percentile.
03
Looking for premium worth selling
Scan short-vol ATM straddles and filter to names whose VRP percentile is high.
04
Reading the shape of the smile before choosing strikes
Pull skew across strikes and compare it against its own percentile history.
05
Checking how volatile a name has really been
Read realized volatility across the five estimators, then see where it sits in percentile terms.
06
Finding a directional trade to express a view
Scan naked-option candidates and read the volatility numbers behind each before you size it.
