Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search a library of trading papers with verified backtests, strategies, datasets, and courses.

What you can do
This remote MCP server connects an assistant to a research library of more than 5,000 trading papers that come with verified backtests. Through it, the assistant can search that collection and surface related strategies, datasets, and courses. The manifest does not list individual tool names, so the exact operations are not documented here.
When to use it
Worth adding when you want an assistant to look up quantitative trading research, backtested strategies, or supporting datasets and courses while working on trading or investment ideas. It is less useful if you need general web search or your own private data.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint reached over streamable HTTP at the provider's site. Authentication is required and uses OAuth, so you need an account with the provider and a client that can complete the OAuth flow. No environment variables or headers are declared.
Before you install
Access requires signing in through OAuth, which grants the server a connection to your provider account; review the scopes requested during authorization. The content is third-party research and backtest results, not investment advice, and past backtests do not guarantee future performance. No write, payment, or secret-handling behavior is described in the available information.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Papers With Backtest in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.paperswithbacktest%2Fpapers-with-backtest/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

This server asks you to sign in, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without an account and has not indexed them. What a connected account sees can depend on that account and its permissions.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
