NexusTrade Financial MCP does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 99.6% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 23

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

agent
create_agent
⚠ COSTS LLM CREDITS on the NexusTrade account — spins up an Aurora agent via Router V5 classification + ReAct execution loops, billed per token. **Manual approval required**: do NOT call unless the user explicitly asked to launch an Aurora agent. For strategy creation/backtesting/analysis prefer no-LLM tools: structured create_portfolio (pass full IPortfolio JSON), backtest_portfolio, query_backtest_history, query_*, fetch_portfolios. Create a new autonomous Aurora agent using the same body shape as POST /api/agent. When maxIterations or automationMode are omitted, applies the user's saved ChatSettings. Agent models are product-locked (openai/gpt-5.6-luna planner, meta/muse-spark-1.3-contributor:thinking-high executor, and the platform tool-role defaults) and cannot be overridden. Pass attachment_ids from upload_chat_attachment (READY) to bind files onto the last user message — same as the web FILES tab. Use this for a method-brief PDF plus a short analyze/report request.
get_agent
Aurora agent surface (no LLM cost on this call — pure DB read). Only relevant when the user is actively working with an Aurora agent. Returns status, plan, messages, config. Address by agentId OR by exact title (case-insensitive); provide exactly one. Duplicate titles fail closed with candidate ids. Polling/liveness: use agent.lastProgressAt (advances during sandbox steps, tool cards, LLM rounds, and — while waiting_for_subagents — when children progress) — NOT agent.updatedAt (state transitions only; stays frozen by design while parked on subagents so the waiting-no-wake detector can prefilter). For waiting_for_subagents, a frozen lastProgressAt means children stopped progressing; confirm via child agent statuses. Sandbox step detail: agent.messages[*].data.steps. Poll until status is terminal (complete/stopped/error).
get_agent_trajectory
Aurora agent surface (no LLM cost on this call — pure DB read). Only relevant when inspecting an Aurora agent run. Raw trace / trajectory events for an agent (for inspection or building evaluator input). Address by agentId OR exact title (XOR).
backtest
backtest_portfolio
Submit an asynchronous historical backtest for a portfolio over a date range. Minute interval: first-look default is the last 90 inclusive calendar days; hard max is 365 days — do not emit 2010 or a multi-year Minute window, and do not split a longer span into yearly Minute jobs. Daily equity may use a long window. Set baseline_symbol to match the book — underlying ticker for single-name options (AAPL→AAPL), per-underlying baselines or equal-weight universe B&H for multi-name options; SPY only for broad equity. Returns a backtest ID immediately; poll query_backtest_status, then query_backtest_history (zero-LLM). Aurora may also use Read Backtest for an LLM narrative once complete.
query_backtest_history
Return a time series of {time, value, cash, positionValue, comparisonValue, reservedCollateral} per tick for a completed backtest. Reads from the backtesthistories collection (full minute-resolution; 30-day TTL). Use this to find suspicious single-tick portfolio value jumps without needing the codebase — feed the result through your own jump-detection logic. Cash is derived as value minus Σ(position.quantity × lastPrice). `reservedCollateral` is the collateral locked by open positions at that tick, as the engine computed it; it reads `null` for a run made before collateral reporting existed, which is NOT zero. Never re-derive it from cash − buyingPower. Zero research token cost.
query_backtest_status
Return the parent backtest document's status, error, interval, timestamps, elapsed time, and completed statistics without reading history/events. Use immediately after backtest_portfolio or before query_backtest_history so ERROR/PENDING/RUNNING states are explicit. Statistics include peakReservedCollateral and medianReservedCollateral — how much capital the book actually had on the line, which a percentage return does not say. Both read "not recorded" for a run made before collateral reporting existed; that is not zero, so do not report it as such. Zero research token cost.
portfolio
create_portfolio_variant
Deep-copy a source portfolio (chat OR deployed) into a NEW chat portfolio with fresh strategy IDs and no YAML/NL re-authoring. Use this — NOT create_portfolio — whenever an existing portfolio must remain the exact semantic baseline. Omit patches (or pass []) for a clone-only control; supply RFC-6902 JSON-Pointer patches (op/path/value) only for deliberate surgical changes. Patch paths target the IPortfolio shape and are action-type-specific: DynamicRebalance cash/deploy → `/strategies/0/action/deploymentPercent` (number 0–100); RebalanceOption book budget → `/strategies/0/action/totalBudget/amount`. Never put totalBudget on DynamicRebalance or deploymentPercent on RebalanceOption — validation rejects the wrong field. Requires source_portfolio_id and name. Pass dry_run:true to validate without persisting. Result is an independent chat portfolio; backtest it to evaluate.
get_portfolio
Fetch one portfolio with full strategy objects (condition, action, indicators), positions, and spread-grouped holdings. Zero LLM cost — same data path as GET /api/portfolio/:portfolioId. Resolves deployed paper/live portfolios first, then chat portfolios. Use fetch_portfolios to discover IDs. Response includes conditionFieldAudit (comparison, value, window.length per base condition) — use that for Gate-7/Gate-8 deploy verification, NOT strategy.name or condition.name (those may be stale after GA mutation).
update_portfolio
Deploy, undeploy, rename, delete, add/remove/replace strategies, or set deployment frequency on portfolios. **rename** requires a non-empty `name` on the operation. **delete** permanently removes a chat, paper, or live portfolio (archives deployed paper/live books; deleting a chat portfolio also archives linked deployments). Pass confirmLive:true only after explicit user confirmation when deleting an active live portfolio. **Structured path (zero LLM cost):** pass an `operations` array — see inputSchema. Use `replaceStrategy` / `replaceStrategies` with full `{name, condition, action}` strategyObjects (same shape as create_portfolio). RebalanceOption: set `action.positionScope` to `portfolio` (single-book — closes/orphans all option spreads in the portfolio) or `strategy` (multi-strategy book).
send
send_agent_message
⚠ COSTS LLM CREDITS — re-runs the Aurora planner LLM after appending the user's follow-up. Manual approval required; do NOT call unless the user explicitly asked to push a message into an active Aurora agent. Address by agentId OR exact title (XOR). Send a follow-up user message to an agent and re-run the planner, matching POST /api/agent/:agentId/message. This can charge planning tokens, rejects actively running/approved states, may recover terminal states, may transition the agent, and publishes websocket updates. It is not an append-only operation.
send_chat_message
⚠ COSTS LLM CREDITS — same path as POST /api/chat. Router V5 classifies the message: Ask Clarity (persisted), Create Agent (spawns Aurora research), or single-tool fulfill (queued prompt job). Use this for chat turns; use create_agent only when you explicitly want agent spawn without single-tool fulfill. Aurora chooses the complete route adaptively.
agents
list_agents
Aurora agent surface (no LLM cost on this call itself — pure DB read). Useful only when the user is actively operating an Aurora agent. For strategy creation/backtesting prefer the structured no-LLM tools (create_portfolio with full JSON payload, backtest_portfolio, query_*, fetch_portfolios). List your Aurora agents with pagination using the same query shape as the agent controller.
approve
approve_agent_plan
⚠ INDIRECTLY COSTS LLM CREDITS — approving the plan unfreezes the agent which then runs more planning + execution LLM calls. Manual approval required; do NOT call unless the user explicitly told you to advance their Aurora agent. Approve a semi-automated agent that is waiting in pending_plan_approval or pending_action_approval. Auto-detects which approval the agent needs and emits the matching state-machine event so the agent resumes execution. Returns 400 if the agent is not in a pending-approval state.
archive
archive_agent
Aurora agent surface (no LLM cost — pure DB write). Only relevant when managing Aurora agents. Archive an agent (soft-delete). The agent remains in the database but is hidden from default listings. Address by agentId OR exact title (XOR).
build
build_portfolio
Preview/builder twin of create_portfolio. Runs the SAME construction + per-strategy validation (Portfolio/Strategy/Condition/Indicator) as create_portfolio but PERSISTS NOTHING. Accepts the same IPortfolio JSON (all fields optional so partial drafts can be checked). Returns the canonicalized portfolio plus a per-component issue list (path + component + message) so you can see exactly which strategy/condition/indicator is wrong before committing. A draft that previews clean cannot fail on create_portfolio. Zero research token cost. Custom data sources: none yet. Create one with run_compute (pass name and point_kind to promote its signal output directly), or use dataset_to_indicator with a saved dataset; then reference customIndicatorId in create_portfolio.
clone
clone_strategies_to_portfolio
Replace a deployed (paper/live) portfolio's entire strategy set with deep copies of a source portfolio's strategy objects (by reference, not YAML). Source is a chat or deployed portfolio; the target MUST be a real deployed portfolio (chat portfolios are immutable and cannot be a target). Use this to deploy a chat portfolio's strategies onto a live/paper portfolio without re-describing them. Do NOT automatically backtest after clone — only backtest when the user asked for research validation. The source's prior backtest does not validate the target (different objects), but deploy-only asks should stop at clone/deploy.
fork
fork_shared_portfolio
⚠ MUTATING — creates or modifies a portfolio. Fork strategies from a shared portfolio into the user's account. target: 'new' creates a chat portfolio; 'existing' patches a deployed portfolio. mode: 'replace' (default) removes old strategies, 'append' keeps them. For monetized portfolios, subscribe first. Returns { forkSharedPortfolioResult: { portfolioId, name, addedCount, removedCount, ... } }. Prefer fork when the user wants to edit/customize strategies.
portfolios
fetch_portfolios
List or search your portfolios with lightweight metadata (strategy id + name). Matches portfolio name, strategy names, and tickers — same workspace search as the dashboard / GET /api/chat-portfolio. include_chat_portfolios returns workspace DRAFTS only (excludes deployedMirror rows). Recover a past chat draft: include_paper=false, include_live=false, include_chat_portfolios=true, search="Delta 0.07" (then get_portfolio for full strategy JSON). Returns an object: { portfolios, page, limit, total, totalPages, scopes }. Deployed and draft rows page as one list (all deployed, then all drafts), so every row is reachable by walking pages. When search is set, include_positions defaults to false. Use analyze_portfolios only when you need LLM-written analysis.
public
search_public_portfolios
Search and browse publicly shared portfolios from other NexusTrade users, sorted by performance metrics. Optional profileId filters to one creator's public/monetized books (from Search Creators / /p/:profileId).
reject
reject_agent_action
Aurora agent surface (minimal LLM cost — state transition, no re-planning). Only relevant when actively managing an Aurora agent. Reject a semi-automated agent that is waiting in pending_plan_approval or pending_action_approval. Mirrors POST /api/agent/:agentId/reject, marks the latest assistant message as errored, transitions through the state machine, traces the rejection, and publishes a websocket update.
star
star_agent
Aurora agent surface (no LLM cost — pure DB write). Star or unstar a top-level agent for quick sidebar access. Mirrors PATCH /api/agent/:agentId/star. Address by agentId OR exact title (XOR). Omit starred to toggle.
stop
stop_agent
Aurora agent surface (no LLM cost — pure state transition). Only relevant when actively managing an Aurora agent. Stop a running agent. Sends a cancellation request and cascades to all descendant subagents. The agent must be in an active state (running, initializing, pending approval, etc.).
unarchive
unarchive_agent
Aurora agent surface (no LLM cost — pure DB write). Only relevant when managing Aurora agents. Restore an archived agent so it appears in default agent listings again. Address by agentId OR exact title (XOR).

NexusTrade Financial MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can NexusTrade Financial MCP do?
It exposes 23 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: approve_agent_plan, archive_agent, backtest_portfolio, build_portfolio, clone_strategies_to_portfolio, create_agent and 17 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is NexusTrade Financial MCP mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around agent, backtest and portfolio. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is NexusTrade Financial MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 3 of 3 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 302 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect NexusTrade Financial MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does NexusTrade Financial MCP need an API key?
No. NexusTrade Financial MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 23 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is NexusTrade Financial MCP?
It answers our handshake in 302 ms on average, which is faster than 53% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is NexusTrade Financial MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 6 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
