### Description (declared)

# AlgoChains Library MCP

Ask market-research and trading-strategy questions in plain English, and let Claude pull
data with [AlgoChains](https://algochains.ai), backtest strategies, and return **interactive
charts inline** — built for [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download) via the
[Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io).

No coding required: describe the strategy, get a full backtest dashboard back in the chat.

## Install (easiest — one click)

1. Get your API key at [https://algochains.ai](https://algochains.ai).
2. Download the extension: [**algochains-library-mcp.mcpb**](https://algochains.ai/mcp/algochains-library-mcp.mcpb).
3. Double-click the downloaded file (or in Claude Desktop: **Settings → Extensions → Install
   extension…** and pick it). Claude Desktop shows an install dialog — paste your API key
   into the **AlgoChains API Key** field and confirm.
4. Fully quit Claude Desktop (**Cmd+Q** on macOS / quit from the system tray on Windows —
   closing the window is not enough) and reopen it.

The first launch downloads the Python environment (a few hundred MB) — it can take several
minutes and Claude Desktop may report the server disconnected once; it recovers on the next
launch. The AlgoChains tools then appear under the tools icon in the chat box.

## Example asks

Research:

Build & backtest:
> *"Backtest an opening range breakout on SPY for me, the range is the first 10 minutes of

Forecast:
