Catalyst Edge MCP tools 7

  • get_convergence_picksToday's top scored catalyst picks from the Catalyst Edge convergence model. Optional filters: conviction, sector. Free tier returns the top 3.
  • get_ticker_signalFull convergence breakdown for one ticker — every non-zero signal layer and its points, plus the score and conviction.
  • get_thesisPlain-language thesis for a ticker — quantitative read, catalysts, risks, bear case. Covers the top convergence picks.
  • get_price_forecastKronos price forecast for a ticker (or the whole scored board), as a probability: p_up is the share of sampled price paths closing higher over the horizon, with a p10-p90 return band. Price history only — independent of the catalyst signal layers.
  • get_sector_leanOrphan-aggregated sector lean — the directional signal each sector is showing, from ~480 aggregated data spokes.
  • get_options_contextLive options context for a ticker via Tradier — nearest expiration, ATM call/put prices, straddle cost. Use to choose an options strategy.
  • get_track_recordHistorical hit-rate and alpha of Catalyst Edge pick lists — the evidence an agent uses to weight the signal. Optional: list_name filter.
