Option Desk MCP Server

Options research with a local dashboard, agent skills, and MCP tools. Import a chain, inspect its Greeks and positioning, compare structures, and keep the results as readable files. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that work with backtesting agent, claude code plugin and codex skill and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in Python.
