Documentation Overview

Helvetic Research

Research-only MCP server that turns your AI chat into a quant research desk.

Describe a strategy in plain English — your AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, …) runs it on a real backtest engine: walk-forward analysis, Monte Carlo, stress tests, and 85 read-only research tools. Every result ships with data provenance and a self-verifying audit bundle.

📖 Methodology: helveticresearch.com/methodology

What it is

A hosted Model Context Protocol server. Your AI is the interface; Helvetic is the engine. Strategies are expressed as a validated JSON AST — the AI can't write arbitrary code, which is why results are reproducible and auditable.

What it is not

Helvetic Research is research-only: it places no trades, connects to no brokers, and provides no investment advice. Nothing it produces is financial, investment, or trading advice.

This repository

The hosted service is not open source. This repo carries the public face of the project; an open-source verifier for Helvetic audit bundles is planned to live here.
