Check options trades for hidden catalysts (earnings, FDA, legal, SEC) before you sell premium.
TickerRisk MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on TickerRisk directly instead of describing what you should do. Check options trades for hidden catalysts (earnings, FDA, legal, SEC) before you sell premium.
An MCP server that lets an AI assistant answer questions like "is it safe to sell a 30-day put on HPE?" with real event data instead of a guess.
Once TickerRisk is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
scan_ticker — "How risky is selling an option on X over the next N weeks?"find_wheel_candidates — "What cash-secured puts can I sell this week without an earnings trap?"find_covered_calls — "What calls can I sell against shares I already own?"compare_tickers — "Which of these stocks is safest to sell premium on right now?"Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this serverYou will need 2 environment variables: TICKERRISK_TOKEN, TICKERRISK_BASE_URL. 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.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at tickerrisk-mcp on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. TickerRisk's toolset — scan_ticker, find_wheel_candidates, find_covered_calls and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by PasiutusVovere; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
