A portable Model Context Protocol server that exposes Lighter trading to
any MCP-capable agent — Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex,
OpenClaw, and generic MCP clients — with **safety as a first-class
concern**, not an afterthought.

The server wraps the official
[`lighter-agent-kit`](https://github.com/elliottech/lighter-agent-kit)
Python scripts via subprocess and adds:

- **Typed Pydantic input schemas** with regex-validated symbols and
  asset codes (no command-line argument injection).
- **Mode-based safety gates** (`readonly` → `paper` → `live` → `funds`):
  the tool catalog grows monotonically; live and funds tools physically
  do not exist in the catalog until you opt in.
- **Two-step confirmations** for every fund-loss path: first call returns
  a preview + single-use token, second call with the token executes.
  Tokens are bound to tool name + argument digest and TTL-limited.
- **Atomic, UTC-keyed daily-notional ledger** that fail-safes to
  `cap exhausted` if its file is corrupt — never silently resets to 0.
- **Append-only audit log** with sanitized argv/result, intra-process
  lock + POSIX `flock`, and soft-fail on disk errors.
- **Streamable-HTTP transport** that refuses to bind non-loopback hosts
  unless `--allow-remote` is passed (the server has no built-in auth).
