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.library_list_familiesThe Library's top-level taxonomy: 17 families of trading concepts (trend, momentum, SMC/ICT, statistics, …) with concept counts and hub links. The natural first call for orientation.library_get_familyA family's hub page as markdown — the written overview of that school of analysis plus its complete concept roster. Use after library_list_families, or when the user asks about a whole area like 'SMC' or 'Wyckoff'.propfirms_searchSearch LuxAlgo's prop-firm catalog (proprietary trading firms offering funded accounts). Combine firm filters (platforms, markets, payment/payout methods, country availability, Trustpilot, year founded) with nested challenge filters (account size, price, steps, profit split, trading rules) and offer filters — a firm matches when at least one of its challenges/offers matches all of them. Omit every filter to list all firms. Use include to nest the matching challenges, live offers, and the written overview; for one firm's full dossier prefer propfirms_get. Uncaptured (null) fields are omitted from results; nested challenges reference offers via offerIds into the firm-level offers list. This tool returns directory data (what exists and on what terms), not outcomes: for simulated pass odds on a challenge found here, use propfirms_pass_rates or propfirms_simulate with its firm and challenge ids.propfirms_getOne prop firm's full dossier by slug: general profile (platforms, markets, payments, Trustpilot, restricted countries), every challenge with its rules, live offers with promo codes and affiliate links, and the written overview (about, rules, payout policy, FAQ). Find slugs with propfirms_search. Uncaptured (null) fields are omitted; challenges reference applicable offers via offerIds into the firm-level offers list. For simulated pass odds on this firm's challenges (reference archetypes, same engine as luxalgo.com/prop-firms), use propfirms_pass_rates.propfirms_search_challengesSearch funded-account challenges across all visible prop firms. Filter by challenge rules (account size, fee, steps, profit split, drawdown mode, news/copy/auto trading, weekend holding, …) and by parent-firm properties. Pass propfirmId to list one firm's challenges, or challengeId to fetch specific ones. include=['offers'] returns a deduplicated top-level offers list, with each challenge referencing its applicable offers via offerIds (firm-wide offers included). Uncaptured (null) rule fields are omitted from results and never match filters. This returns each challenge's listed rules and terms, not outcomes: to simulate a challenge found here pass its ids to propfirms_simulate or propfirms_pass_rates, and to screen one strategy across many challenges at once use propfirms_validate_strategy.patternfetch_briefGet a token-compact market-state brief for a stock, ETF, or crypto ticker + timeframe. Returns compact candles, detected chart/candlestick patterns with geometric confidence AND a backtested historical base rate (how often that pattern+timeframe+confidence-band actually resolved its way), support/resistance levels, trend/regime, and interpreted indicators (RSI/EMA state) plus a one-line summary. Covers US stocks/ETFs (split & dividend adjusted, delayed/EOD) and crypto spot (realtime). WHEN: an agent needs the current technical picture of a market without dumping raw OHLCV into context (saves tokens, avoids numeric hallucination). WHEN NOT: you need order execution or portfolio advice. Examples: {"ticker":"AAPL","timeframe":"1d"}, {"ticker":"BTC/USDT","timeframe":"4h"}. Output is impersonal market data, NOT investment advice.patternfetch_multiGet a multi-timeframe market-state view for one stock, ETF, or crypto ticker in a single call: a token-compact brief for each requested timeframe (default 1h, 4h, 1d) PLUS a cross-timeframe alignment read — whether the trends across timeframes agree or diverge, with the split spelled out (e.g. "1h up / 4h up / 1d down"). WHEN: an agent wants to know if a setup is confirmed across horizons or conflicting between them, without making 3 separate brief calls. WHEN NOT: you only care about one timeframe (use brief). The alignment/divergence is impersonal DESCRIPTIVE data, not a signal to act on. Example: {"ticker":"BTC/USDT","timeframes":["1h","4h","1d"]}. Not investment advice.patternfetch_deltaGet only what CHANGED since your last brief for a ticker+timeframe (trend flips, new patterns, RSI-state changes). WHEN: an agent polls the same market repeatedly and wants minimal tokens — call brief once, then delta on each later poll. WHEN NOT: first look at a market (use brief). Returns changed=false when nothing material changed. Example: {"ticker":"BTC/USDT","timeframe":"4h"}. Impersonal data, not advice.patternfetch_analogsFind earlier windows IN THE SAME SERIES whose shape resembles the current price action and return the FULL distribution of what followed (win-rate, median, min, max, n) over a fixed forward horizon. Parameters: window = how many recent bars form the shape being matched (default 32); horizon = how many bars forward each match is measured over (default 20). WHEN: an agent wants the historical spread of outcomes after a similar-looking setup, including how wide and how uncertain that spread is. WHEN NOT: you want the current technical picture (use brief), you want to find candidates across the market (use scan), or you need one expected value — this deliberately returns a distribution, not a point estimate. NOT a prediction, NOT a backtest of a strategy; past distribution does not guarantee future results. Example: {"ticker":"ETH/USDT","timeframe":"1d"}. Impersonal data, not advice.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.

patternfetch_scanScan US stocks, ETFs, and crypto for tickers currently in a given regime or showing a chart/candlestick pattern, RANKED by the honest backtested base rate + 95% CI — discovery, NOT lookup. This is the screener: instead of asking about one ticker you already know, ask "which tickers right now are in an uptrend / printing a double_bottom, and which of those has the strongest historical base rate?" and get a ranked shortlist back. Precomputed daily over a curated universe (liquid US large-caps + core/sector ETFs + major crypto pairs) so it is fast and cheap. Filters (all optional): assetClass ("stock"|"crypto"|"all"), regime ("up"|"down"|"range"), pattern (e.g. "double_bottom","double_top","head_and_shoulders","bullish_engulfing","bearish_engulfing","hammer"), minLift (-1..1 in rate points, e.g. 0.02 = keep only patterns beating their OWN pattern-free baseline by >= 2pp; 0 = at or above baseline), minBaseRate (0..1, drop tickers whose top pattern base rate is below this), tf, limit. PREFER minLift over minBaseRate: a raw base rate is not comparable across bullish and bearish rows, so minBaseRate:0.55 mostly returns bullish patterns in a rising universe before any of them carries information, whereas minLift returns the ones that measurably add something. Rows with no baseline in the evidence table are excluded by any minLift (absence of a lift is not a lift of 0). Each row: {sym, tf, assetClass, regime, pattern, baseRate, ci95, n, scope, confidence, asOf} PLUS the drift-free comparison {baseline, lift, liftCi95, liftReading} — baseline is the direction-matched rate with no pattern present, lift is baseRate minus that baseline, and liftReading says whether the difference is distinguishable from zero at all ("above-baseline" | "below-baseline" | "indistinguishable-from-baseline"). Read lift, not baseRate, when comparing a bullish row against a bearish one: in a rising universe a bullish pattern starts ahead before it carries any information. Ranked by baseRate desc, then confidence desc, then narrower CI, then fresher asOf. WHEN: an agent wants to FIND candidates across the market, not analyze a named one (then call brief on the shortlist). WHEN NOT: you already have a specific ticker (use brief). Example: {"assetClass":"all","regime":"up","minLift":0.02,"limit":20}. Impersonal historical data, not investment advice; base rates are gross directional frequencies and do not guarantee future results.patternfetch_capabilitiesReturn patternfetch's own capability matrix: which asset classes are covered (US stocks, ETFs, crypto spot), the data source and delay for each, the supported timeframes, the endpoint list, the per-call prices and tier limits, and the product version. Takes no arguments and returns the same static self-description on every call — it contains NO market data (no quotes, candles, patterns or base rates). WHEN: once at the start of a session, to learn which asset classes and timeframes are supported before calling brief/multi/delta/analogs/scan, instead of guessing and getting a validation error. WHEN NOT: you already know the ticker and timeframe are supported (go straight to brief), or you want actual market data (this returns none).
