flow
get_flow_dealer_risk
Settled vs live dealer risk shift: GEX/DEX adjustment since open, percent shifts, direction classifier (amplifying/dampening/neutral/no_flow/regime_flip), and a plain-English description of the intraday flow impact.

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.

Flashalpha — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Flashalpha do?
It exposes 73 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: calculate_greeks, calculate_kelly, get_account, get_advanced_volatility, get_chex, get_dealer_premium and 67 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 Flashalpha mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around historical, flow and exposure. 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 Flashalpha working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 184 of 1840 checks got a reply (10.0%), average response time 129 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Flashalpha?
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. You will need your own key or an OAuth login: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does Flashalpha need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, Flashalpha answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is Flashalpha?
It answers our handshake in 129 ms on average, which is faster than 77% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Flashalpha open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 1 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.
