MCP Tools Overview

EvalEngine exposes 150+ tools via the Model Context Protocol. These tools are available in Claude Code and Claude Desktop when the MCP server is configured.

Tool categories

Category	Tools	Purpose
Market Data	15	Quotes, bars, options, screeners, news
Orders	12	Place, modify, cancel orders and brackets
Account	10	Positions, P&L, exposure, stress testing
Evaluations	12	Ensemble scoring, outcomes, drift, weights
Holly	18	Alerts, trades, autopsy, predictor, rules
Analytics	10	Daily summary, journal, history, edge report
Risk	10	Session guards, position sizing, risk config

First call: `get_status`

Always call get_status first. It returns:

easternTime — current Eastern time
marketSession — pre-market, regular, after-hours, or closed
ibkr.connected — whether TWS is live

If IBKR is disconnected, account/order tools will fail. Market data falls back to Yahoo.

Tool naming convention

Tools use snake_case names grouped by function:

get_* — read data
place_* / cancel_* — order actions
subscribe_* / unsubscribe_* — streaming
holly_* — Holly AI tools
session_* — session risk gate
exit_plan_* — exit plan management
