### Description (declared)

# spectre-terminal-mcp

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets an AI agent — Claude
Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, any MCP client — read market data from a
running [Spectre Terminal](https://spectre.trade) on the same machine, and
trade through it. Thin, stdio; built on the `spectre-terminal` Python client.

```bash
pip install spectre-terminal-mcp
```

## Setup

Switch the Local API on in the terminal (**Settings App → General → Local
API**) and copy the token. Then register the server with your client:

Claude Code:

```bash
claude mcp add spectre-terminal -e SPECTRE_LOCAL_API_TOKEN=spt_… -- spectre-terminal-mcp
```

Claude Desktop (`claude_desktop_config.json`), Cursor and others:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spectre-terminal": {
      "command": "spectre-terminal-mcp",
      "env": { "SPECTRE_LOCAL_API_TOKEN": "spt_…" }
    }
  }
}
```

The server finds the port through the terminal's `instance.json` and reads
the token from the environment only. It starts even when the terminal is not
running; the first tool call then answers `terminal_unreachable`.

## Tools

| Tool | Answers |
| --- | --- |
| `terminal_status` | version, health, stream topics, every connection with id, exchange, market, state |
| `find_instrument` | the exact `exchange:market:symbol` for a coin or symbol, best match first |
| `market_snapshot` | last price, best bid and ask with spread, mark, 24h change and volume |
| `order_book_top` | top N levels per side, volumes, imbalance |
| `recent_trades_summary` | buy and sell volume, delta, VWAP, range, largest print over the last N trades |
| `cluster_summary` | the newest buckets: volume by side, delta, VWAP, the busiest price levels |
| `candles` | OHLCV rows for an interval |
| `account_overview` | balances, positions with PnL, open order counts of one connection |
| `open_orders` | open orders and triggers with the terminal's `key` and the exchange id |
| `recent_fills` | the latest fills with buy and sell volume total…
