Dantes Exchange MCP Server

WHEN: Use when you already have a capability id and need schema, price, and when-to-use before paying. NOT for: Do not use to execute the scan. Returns: The full manifest — input and output schema, support envelope, limitations — plus the price and access class on THIS endpoint, and the routing block.

WHEN: Use when you need the dated forward-return pack for a listed skill (n, window, as-of). NOT for: Do not use as a live scan and do not treat evidence as today’s hits. Returns: Semantic evidence (does it do what it says) kept strictly separate from historical economic evidence (what was measured about the population it describes) — never combined into a score. Universe-relative and vs-benchmark figures appear only where they were actually measured; a capability with no economic measurement returns NOT_MEASURED rather than a borrowed figure.

WHEN: Use when the user named a setup in trader language and you need to know which Dantes skill matches. NOT for: Do not use to run a scan or to invent a skill we do not list. Returns: Matching capability ids, each with its price, what it takes to run it, and its own when / not_for / returns — plus `not_encoded`, the setups this endpoint does not have.

WHEN: Use when you need what universes / as-of books a skill can run on. NOT for: Do not use to fetch prices or news. Returns: The published datasets with their as-of dates and the universes they enumerate; with a `universe` argument, the member ticker list itself. Raw dataset files are never returned.

WHEN: Use when you have chosen a listed skill, the user wants names that match it now, and you are ready to pay. NOT for: Do not use for quotes, news, or a chart pattern nowhere on this endpoint (head-and-shoulders — say we don’t have that). Do not refuse a NAMED indicator before get_capability ta-primitives has been read, and do not rebuild a held recipe from memory: the composing rules in the routing guide apply to every call here. Returns: { ok, result } or { ok: false, error }. A priced capability answers an unpaid call with an x402 PaymentRequired naming the exact amount, asset, network and recipient; nothing executes and nothing is charged until a payment verifies. A scan that ran and returned zero names is a completed billable run, not an error.

WHEN: Use when you concluded, after search_capabilities and get_capability, that Dantes cannot do part of what your user asked — name the missing data column, indicator, history or composition in buildable terms, and what Dantes CAN do of the ask. NOT for: Do not use for a capability that exists and refused your input shape (read its schema and retry), and do not tell your user the gap will be built or when — it is recorded for the operators, never promised. Returns: { ok, recorded } — the missing pieces as written to the operators’ gaps board, free, or { ok: false } with the reason.
