What is the Getoutpost MCP server?

If you already use Getoutpost, the getoutpost mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. HTTP MCP Server for GetOutpost Financial APIs - provides stock data, options chains, and volatility surface analysis.

What the server does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that brings real-time Indian options market data and volatility analytics from GetOutpost.in into your AI chats.

This MCP server enables Claude to analyze options market data including: - Implied Volatility (IV) - Options pricing and market expectations - Realized Volatility (RV) - Historical price movement metrics (Close-to-Close, Parkinson, Garman-Klass, Rogers-Satchell, Yang-Zhang) - Volatility Risk Premium (VRP) - IV divided by RV - Skew Analysis - Volatility smile/smirk patterns across strike prices

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • get_iv — Get implied volatility data for specific symbols
  • get_vol — Get realized volatility data using various calculation methods
  • get_vrp — Get volatility risk premium (IV minus RV)
  • get_skew — Get volatility skew patterns across strikes
  • filter_quick_rules_iv_percentile — Find symbols by IV percentile range
  • filter_quick_rules_rv_percentile — Find symbols by RV percentile range
  • filter_quick_rules_vrp_percentile — Find symbols by VRP percentile range
  • filter_quick_rules_skew_percentile — Find symbols by skew percentile range
  • scan_short_vol_atm_straddles — Scan for short volatility opportunities using ATM straddles (elevated IV vs historical/peers)
  • scan_cheap_tail_risk_hedges — Scan for cheap tail risk hedges - far OTM puts for portfolio protection
  • scan_directional_trades_naked_options — Scan for directional trading opportunities using naked calls or puts

Installation

getoutpost-mcp-server on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: CREDENTIALS_FILE_PATH, ACCESS_TOKEN, REFRESH_TOKEN, EMAIL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Where it fits

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Getoutpost's toolset — get_iv, get_vol, get_vrp and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by aoutpost2-rgb; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 11 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Getoutpost.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Getoutpost to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 11 tools (get_iv, get_vol, get_vrp, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Getoutpost directly.
