### Description (declared)

# mcp-paradigm-py

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.tradeparadigm/mcp-paradigm-py -->

MCP server for the **Paradigm** trading platform. Exposes the REST
surface as typed tools to any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop,
any IDE with MCP support).

Covers the active Paradigm products:

- **DRFQv2** — bilateral RFQ (request-for-quote)
- **OBv1** — Unified Markets order books (long-lived multi-counterparty
  auctions; maker quotes, taker fills, block trades, trade tape)
- **FSPD** — Future Spread Direct (orderbook for future spreads with
  market/limit orders, post-only, IOC, order replace)
- **Firm** — identity credentials, positions, cross-firm leaderboards

GRFQ is being deprecated in favour of OBv1; VRFQ is niche. Neither is
covered.

> See [`DESIGN.md`](DESIGN.md) for the full design — tool surface,
> auth model, signing layer, deployment posture.
