API Organization

To provide a more efficient experience and reduce context window usage:

  • Technical Indicators: Consolidated into 5 unified endpoints (moving averages, momentum, volatility, volume, cycle) with type parameters
  • Commodities: Unified into a single endpoint with commodity_type parameter
  • Forex: Time series endpoints consolidated with a series_type parameter
  • Cryptocurrencies: Time series endpoints consolidated with a series_type parameter

This organization maintains full functionality while significantly reducing the number of tools required.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
