Tools & capabilities
Luxalgo MCP Server tools 48
library_searchSearch the LuxAlgo Library — the encyclopedia of trading and technical analysis. One query over 800+ concepts (alias-aware: 'stochastics' finds Stochastic Oscillator) and 800+ ready-to-use indicators. Start here whenever you have a name, informal term, or topic; results carry slugs for the get tools plus canonical URLs for citation.library_get_conceptExplain a trading concept: the Library's full write-up as markdown — definition, formula, how traders read it, and its indicator implementations. Use for any 'what is X / how does X work' question. Needs the exact slug — find it with library_search or library_list_concepts.library_get_indicatorDetails for one indicator: what it does, how to read it, family, concept links, preview image — plus whether its source code is available (fetch the code itself with library_get_source_code). Use when the user asks about a specific indicator.library_get_source_codeThe full, working source code of a Library indicator (works on TradingView). Kept separate from library_get_indicator because sources are long — call it only when the user wants the code itself.library_list_conceptsBrowse every trading and technical-analysis concept in the Library — paginated, optionally one family. Use to enumerate a topic area or find slugs for library_get_concept; for keyword lookup prefer library_search.library_list_indicatorsBrowse the indicator catalog with filters and server-side sorting (newest first by default). Filter by family, concept slug (implementations of one concept), tags (ids from library_list_tags, AND-combined), trading platform, or plan tier. Use for structured browsing — 'latest indicators', 'everything in the volatility family', 'indicators implementing liquidity sweeps'; for keyword discovery prefer library_search.library_list_tagsThe Library's indicator tag vocabulary (behavioral traits like 'Volatility', 'Trailing-Stop', 'Repainting Functionality'). Returns ids to pass as the tags filter of library_list_indicators — tags are orthogonal to the concept-family taxonomy.
