Portfolio risk analytics — VaR, Monte Carlo, optimization, options Greeks, stress testing.
Institutional-grade portfolio risk analytics for Claude and any MCP client.
VaR / Monte Carlo / Stress Testing / Portfolio Optimization / Greeks / Correlation Matrices
Real market data. Real math. Not hallucinated numbers.
1. Install
npm install -g @quantrisk/mcp-server
2. Configure (Claude Desktop — see below for Cursor)
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"quantrisk": {
"command": "quantrisk-mcp-server",
"env": {
"QUANTRISK_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
Get your free API key at quantrisk.dev/signup.
3. Ask Claude
"What's the Value at Risk on a portfolio of 60% SPY, 25% TLT, and 15% GLD?"
That's it. Claude now has access to institutional-grade risk analytics.
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"quantrisk": {
"command": "quantrisk-mcp-server",
"env": {
"QUANTRISK_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"quantrisk": {
"command": "quantrisk-mcp-server",
"env": {
"QUANTRISK_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
QuantRisk works with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol. Point it at the quantrisk-mcp-server binary with your API key in the environment.
