Funding stress early warning for US money markets from free public data, with an honest backtest.
Funding stress early warning for US money markets from free public data, with an honest backtest. Exposed over MCP by the seiche — funding mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Every 2025–26 stress event (Sep 15 2025 tax-date squeeze, Oct/Dec 2025 record SRF draws, Apr 2025 basis unwind) was front-run by plumbing signals while price screens looked calm. Incumbent tools either have the data with no opinion (Bloomberg, $32k/yr) or authority with no synthesis (OFR/NY Fed dashboards). Seiche is the opinionated fusion layer: forward-looking, alerting-ready, provenance-honest — and v2 adds the layer none of them have: honest evidence about itself.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at npm on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
You will need 4 environment variables: SEICHE_LLM_BASE_URL, SEICHE_WEBHOOK_URL, HETZNER_HOST, HETZNER_SSH_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by beepboop2025; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
