> **Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for
> [manifoldbt](https://github.com/Jimmy7892/manifoldbt)** — the Rust-powered
> backtesting engine for quantitative research.

Expose the full manifoldbt backtesting engine to any MCP-compatible client
(Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Devin, VS Code, Windsurf, …). Let an LLM
author strategies, run backtests, sweep parameters, and generate tearsheets —
without the user writing a line of Python.

This package is **not affiliated with the manifoldbt authors**; it is a thin
adapter that imports the published `manifoldbt` wheel and wraps its Python
API behind an MCP server. All heavy lifting is done by the underlying Rust
engine.

## Install

```bash
pip install manifoldbt-mcp
```

This pulls in `manifoldbt` and the reference `mcp` Python SDK as
dependencies. Python 3.10+ is required.

Optional extras:

```bash
pip install "manifoldbt-mcp[plot]"   # plotly stack, for plot_tearsheet
pip install "manifoldbt-mcp[dev]"    # pytest, ruff, plotly stack
```

## Run

```bash
manifoldbt-mcp                          # stdio transport (default)
manifoldbt-mcp --http --port 8765       # streamable-HTTP transport
manifoldbt-mcp --http --host 0.0.0.0    # remote deployment
```
