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.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.- +36 more on the listing page
