What is the Flashalpha MCP Server?

The Flashalpha MCP server gives AI agents structured, permission-aware access to Flashalpha through the Model Context Protocol. With 73 pre-built actions, agents can read, create, and update Flashalpha data on behalf of authorized users.

Willow ships the Flashalpha MCP server as part of an enterprise control plane. Every call runs behind SSO (Okta, Azure AD), enforces RBAC and least-privilege at runtime, writes to a full audit trail, and integrates with Splunk and Loki for SIEM visibility. Connect from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, n8n, or any custom agent. Install once, distribute org-wide, and see exactly how Flashalpha is being used by every AI agent in your stack.

Tools

get_strategy

Get a strategy decision envelope for one of 10 options-based trading signals. signal enum values and what each answers: • flow_anomaly — directional options-flow imbalance: is call/put premium skewing bullish or bearish? • expiry_positioning — OPEX pin risk and iron-fly setup: should you fade into expiry? • zero_dte — same-day range compression: what is the 0DTE expected range and dealer regime? • dealer_regime — dealer gamma regime classifier: positive vs negative gamma and hedging pressure. • vol_carry — VRP carry credit-spread selection: is IV elevated enough to sell premium via credit spreads? • yield_enhancement — covered-call / cash-secured-put income overlay: optimal strike for yield capture. • surface_anomaly — SVI residual rich/cheap wing detection: where is the vol surface mispriced? • skew — 25-delta skew / risk-reversal signal: put vs call skew balance and direction. • term_structure — ATM-IV term-structure signal: contango vs backwardation and roll opportunities. • tail_pricing — downside-tail richness signal: are OTM puts cheap or expensive vs history?

get_vix_state

VIX regime vs SPX realized volatility: overvixing/undervixing/neutral label, spread (VIX minus SPX RV20d), ratio, and interpretation. Use to classify fear gauge premium, identify contango/backwardation in vol term structure, assess short-vol vs long-vol environment, or time volatility-selling strategies.

get_surface

Get the live 50x50 implied-volatility surface grid over (tenor, log-moneyness). Built from OTM contract IVs with bilinear interpolation.

get_stock_summary

Get comprehensive stock summary: price, ATM IV, historical vol, VRP, skew, term structure, options flow, exposure data, and macro context (VIX, Fear & Greed, yield curve).

get_stock_flow

Raw intraday stock trade-flow for one symbol. Views: 'recent' (recent stock trades, newest first), 'summary' (stock trade-flow totals), 'blocks' (large stock trades), 'history' (minute stock-flow buckets, newest first), 'cumulative' (cumulative net stock flow), 'bars' (multi-resolution OHLCV+flow bars, oldest first, for live chart feeds).

get_historical_exposure_summary

Replay the full exposure summary (net GEX/DEX/VEX/CHEX, regime, hedging estimates, top strikes) at any minute since April 2018. Alpha tier.

post_screener

Find, rank, and compare symbols across the whole universe in ONE call. Use this whenever the user does NOT name a single ticker but asks which / what / find / scan / screen / rank / top / most / highest / lowest across stocks (e.g. 'which names have the most negative gamma', 'rank tickers by VRP', 'highest IV stocks right now', 'most pinned symbols today', 'cheap IV with positive gamma'). Prefer this over calling per-symbol tools in a loop. Cross-sectional screen/rank by GEX, VRP, 0DTE dominance, IV/term structure, skew, dealer risk, and strategy scores, with filters, sort, select, and custom formulas. Growth = top 10 symbols; Alpha = ~250 symbols + formulas.

get_historical_advanced_volatility

Replay advanced volatility analytics (SVI parameters, forward prices, total variance surface, arbitrage flags, greek surfaces, variance swap fair values) at any minute since April 2018. EOD-stamped (SVI fits refresh daily). Alpha tier.

Enterprise Governance for Flashalpha

Willow adds the layer Flashalpha and every other SaaS doesn't ship out of the box: every call runs behind SSO (Okta, Azure AD), enforces RBAC and least-privilege at runtime, writes to full audit logs, and detects shadow AI usage across your stack. One MCP gateway. Any agent. Every tool.

Flashalpha MCP Server FAQ

What is the Flashalpha MCP server?

The Flashalpha MCP server is a Model Context Protocol implementation that lets AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT read and write Flashalpha data through a standardized interface. Willow hosts and governs this server so enterprises can roll it out without a security review backlog.

How is Willow's Flashalpha MCP server different from the official one?

The official Flashalpha MCP server is scoped to a single user's account and does not include enterprise governance. Willow's version adds SSO, RBAC, audit logging, shadow AI detection, and centralized control over which actions agents can take across the entire org.

Which AI clients work with the Flashalpha MCP server?

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code with MCP support, n8n, and any custom agent built with OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, or Anthropic SDK.

Is the Flashalpha MCP server secure? How does Willow handle authentication?

Every call runs behind your existing SSO (Okta, Azure AD). Per-user OAuth scopes the agent to exactly what that user can do in Flashalpha, nothing more. No credentials reach the LLM. Every action writes to an audit trail.

Can I limit which Flashalpha actions agents can take?

Yes. Willow lets you scope agents to specific actions, specific projects, or specific environments. Toggle actions on or off in the dashboard, or enforce policy via infrastructure-as-code through GitHub.

How do I detect shadow Flashalpha MCP servers in my org?

Willow's browser extension and discovery service surface unmanaged MCP servers, skills, and AI agents across the org. If a developer installed an unapproved Flashalpha MCP locally, you'll see it.

What does the Flashalpha MCP server cost?

Pricing depends on org size and deployment model (SaaS, dedicated cloud, self-host). See withwillow.ai/pricing or contact sales for a quote.

How do I install the Flashalpha MCP server with Willow?

Install via the Willow Connect Panel in one click, or paste the JSON snippet above into your Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code config. SSO and RBAC inherit from your existing Willow setup.
