Overview

What is FLOX MCP Server?

The FLOX MCP Server provides around 30 tools that let coding agents (Claude, Cursor, Cline) drive an end-to-end quantitative trading workflow. It integrates with the FLOX trading systems framework, a C++23 platform with polyglot strategy bindings.

How to use FLOX MCP Server?

Install with pip and then initialize: pip install flox-mcp followed by flox-mcp init. Tools are called directly by the agent to backtest, generate strategies, place orders, and query runtime state.
