LABSCO SUMMARY

Persona endpoints are what make 74 tools workable.

A catalogue this size would otherwise swamp a model's tool list; pointing at /mcp/0dte or /mcp/volarb loads only what that style of trading needs. The analytics are the real draw — dealer gamma, vanna and charm exposure computed for you, rather than a chain you have to reduce yourself. Check the tier table against what you actually plan to call, because the free key is a taste rather than a working setup.

What it is

A hosted options-analytics server with more than 70 tools, reached over streamable HTTP. It covers dealer positioning, volatility structure, real-time order flow and earnings, and returns computed analytics rather than raw chains. The repository holds the documentation and configuration; the server itself is closed-source and runs at lab.flashalpha.com.

What you get

Exposure: get_gex, get_dex, get_chex, max pain and key dealer-positioning levels, plus get_exposure_sheet and get_exposure_basket across symbols
Volatility: IV surfaces with SVI parameters, skew and term structure, spot-vol correlation, get_advanced_volatility and VRP with history
Order flow: get_flow_live, get_flow_scan, get_flow_signals, get_dealer_premium, get_flow_pin_risk — sweeps, blocks and dealer premium as they happen
0DTE intraday flow as snapshot, time series, hedge flow, heatmap and strike flow
Ten strategy signals through one tool, get_strategy, chosen by its strategy value — including flow_anomaly, dealer_regime, expiry_positioning, surface_anomaly and tail_pricing
Earnings suite: get_earnings_calendar, get_earnings, get_earnings_screener, expected move, IV crush and dealer positioning around the print
calculate_greeks and calculate_kelly for Black-Scholes greeks and position sizing, plus multi-leg structure P&L
Nine persona endpoints — /mcp/gex, /mcp/0dte, /mcp/volarb, /mcp/earnings and others — that load a curated subset instead of the whole catalog

Requirements

Nothing to install. Point your client at https://lab.flashalpha.com/mcp and pass apiKey on each tool call, or use https://lab.flashalpha.com/mcp-oauth for hosts that require OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, where no key parameter is needed. A free key gives 5 calls a day on 15-minute-delayed data; paid tiers raise the quota and the freshness, with real-time and the historical replay on the top plan. Tier gating is enforced per tool — a call above your plan returns a 403 naming the plan required.

Setup effort

One command plus a key — claude mcp add flashalpha --transport http https://lab.flashalpha.com/mcp, then supply credentials

USE CASES

01

Reading where dealers are positioned before the open

Pull gamma exposure with the call and put walls and the gamma flip level for the symbol.

get_gexget_exposure_summaryget_flow_levels

02

Watching unusual activity as it prints

Scan live flow for sweeps and blocks, and let the flow-anomaly signal surface what stands out.

03

Preparing for an earnings print

Check the calendar, read the expected move and IV crush history, then look at how dealers are positioned.
