Quant intelligence over MCP: backtest, signals, screens, scores & portfolios for US & TSX stocks.

VerifiedStreamable HTTPWeb executableFinanceData & Analytics

Overview

AI-generated overview

Kwant is a remote MCP server that gives an assistant quant tools for US and TSX stocks: quotes, fundamentals, indicators, screens, backtests and portfolios.

What you can do
Fetch quotes, OHLCV price history and fundamentals for US and TSX tickers, plus pairwise correlation matrices and portfolio-level statistics for weighted baskets of tickers. Compute technical indicators (RSI, MACD, SMA, EMA, BBANDS, ATR, ADX, STOCH) and detect classic signals such as golden cross. Compute quantitative statistics (volatility, Sharpe, max drawdown, returns, beta, correlation) and rank tickers against each other by a chosen metric. Screen a stock universe with quantitative filters, or score and rank universes (SP500, TSX or explicit tickers) by cross-sectional signals and monthly dollar volume. Backtest simple long-only technical strategies and rebalanced multi-ticker quant, or
When to use it
Use it when you want an assistant to answer quantitative questions about US or TSX equities: pull prices and fundamentals, run technical indicators and signals, screen or rank a universe, and test simple strategies or portfolio weightings without building your own data pipeline.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at kwant.sh; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared. No authentication is declared. Network access to the endpoint is needed. Some tools (screen, backtest, screen_with_scores) are marked paid at $0.0100 per call.
Before you install
Several tools are marked paid at $0.0100 per call, so repeated screening or backtesting can incur charges. The server is remote, so tickers and portfolio inputs you send go to a third party. Results are computed from market data and are not investment advice; verify outputs before relying on them.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Kwant in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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/sh.kwant%2Fkwant/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

get_price_history

Get historical OHLCV price bars for a ticker. US symbols are bare (AAPL, MSFT); TSX symbols use the Yahoo .TO form (RY.TO) or the TSX:RY form. interval is one of 1m,5m,15m,30m,1h,1d,1wk,1mo (default 1d); range is one of 5d,1mo,3mo,6mo,1y,2y,5y,max (default 1y). Returns an envelope whose values contains interval, range, currency, count, and bars (records with an ISO timestamp plus open, high, low, close, volume). (paid: $0.0050/call)

Parametersrangetickerrequiredinterval

get_quote

Get the latest available quote for a ticker. US symbols are bare (AAPL); TSX symbols use the Yahoo .TO form (RY.TO) or the TSX:RY form. Returns an envelope whose values holds the quote fields (price, currency, previous_close, change, change_percent, volume, market_state, asof as an ISO string). (paid: $0.0050/call)

Parameterstickerrequired

get_fundamentals

Get fundamental data for a ticker (profile + key ratios). US symbols are bare (AAPL); TSX symbols use the Yahoo .TO form (RY.TO) or the TSX:RY form. Returns an envelope whose values holds available fundamentals: name, exchange, currency, sector, industry, market_cap, pe_ratio, forward_pe, eps, dividend_yield, beta, fifty_two_week_high, fifty_two_week_low, asof. Fields not covered by the provider are null. (paid: $0.0050/call)

Parameterstickerrequired

compute_indicator

Compute a technical indicator (RSI, MACD, SMA, EMA, BBANDS, ATR, ADX, STOCH) over a ticker's price history. Returns the warmup-aligned series plus the latest values and a one-line summary. Tune the window with `length` (SMA/EMA/RSI/ATR/ADX/BBANDS), `fast`/`slow`/`signal` (MACD), `std` (BBANDS), or `k`/`d`/`smooth_k` (STOCH) — pass them either as top-level fields OR nested under `params`; both work. `window` and `period` are accepted as aliases for `length`. NOTE: for a long window like SMA(200) you MUST set length=200 (the default is 20). The response echoes the effective params it used, and the summary shows the window, e.g. `SMA(200)`. Ensure `range` spans at least `length` bars (e.g. range=2y for SMA(200)) or the series is all-warmup NaN. (paid: $0.0050/call)

detect_signals

Detect classic technical-analysis signals on a ticker's price history. Each requested signal is evaluated and reported as triggered/not-triggered with a date and human-readable detail under signal_summary. Signals (omit `signals` to check all six): golden_cross = SMA(50) crosses above SMA(200) within `lookback`; death_cross = SMA(50) crosses below SMA(200); macd_cross = MACD line crosses above its signal line (bullish); rsi_oversold = RSI(14) below 30 at the latest bar; rsi_overbought = RSI(14) above 70 at the latest bar; breakout = latest close exceeds the highest high of the prior 20 bars. A signal needing more history than is available is returned not-triggered with an insufficient-history detail and a warning — it never fails the call. (paid: $0.0050/call)

Parametersrangetickerrequiredsignalsintervallookback

compute_stats

Compute quantitative statistics (volatility, sharpe, max_drawdown, returns, beta, correlation) over a ticker's daily price history. Omit `metrics` to default to volatility/sharpe/max_drawdown/returns. `beta` and `correlation` require a `benchmark` ticker; `risk_free_rate` is used only by the Sharpe ratio. (paid: $0.0050/call)

Parametersrangetickerrequiredmetricsbenchmarkrisk_free_rate

compare_tickers

Rank two or more tickers against each other by a single metric (total_return, volatility, sharpe, max_drawdown, last_price). Symbols that cannot be resolved (or lack enough history) are skipped and noted in `warnings` rather than failing the call. Returns a ranked list of {ticker, value, rank, currency} (rank 1 = best). (paid: $0.0050/call)

Parametersrangemetrictickersrequired

screen

Screen a stock universe for tickers matching quantitative filters (logical AND). Fields: price, rsi, sma_50, sma_200, volatility, sharpe, max_drawdown, total_return, dollar_volume, garman_klass_vol. Ops: lt, lte, gt, gte. (paid: $0.0100/call)

Parametersrangefiltersrequiredsort_byuniverserequiredmax_tickers

backtest

Backtest a simple long-only technical strategy on daily price history. Strategies: sma_cross (golden/death cross of SMA 50/200), rsi_reversion (enter RSI<30, exit RSI>70), macd_cross (MACD line vs signal). No-lookahead: signals act on the next bar's close. Returns trades + performance metrics. (paid: $0.0100/call)

Parametersrangeparamstickerrequiredstrategyrequired

screen_with_scores

Rank a stock universe by a continuous cross-sectional signal score (rank 1 = highest z-score). Signals: jt_momentum, mean_reversion, rsi_filtered_momentum, trend_quality. Scores are relative to the scanned set. (paid: $0.0100/call)

Parametersrangetop_nsignaluniverserequiredmax_tickers

compute_universe_scores

Score and rank a universe of tickers by a cross-sectional signal. Resolves either a named universe (SP500, TSX) or an explicit tickers override, bulk-fetches daily price history over range, computes a raw per-ticker score for the chosen signal, then converts those raw scores into cross-sectional z-scores and ranks them across the universe (rank 1 = highest z-score). Signals (Jegadeesh–Titman momentum is 12-month minus 1-month return on month-end resampled closes): jt_momentum (that JT 12-1 momentum), mean_reversion (negative trailing 1-month monthly return), rsi_filtered_momentum (JT momentum, names with a 14-day simple RSI > 70 excluded before z-scoring), trend_quality (JT momentum, names trading at or below their 200-day SMA excluded). Tickers with too little history or that fail to fetch are dropped and reported in warnings. range is the lookback (5d,1mo,3mo,6mo,1y,2y,5y,max; default 2y); top_n truncates the ranked output. values holds universe, signal, range, scored, and results (a list of {ticker, raw, zscore, rank} ordered by rank). (paid: $0.0100/call)

Parametersrangetop_nsignaltickersuniverse

build_monthly_universe

Rank a universe of tickers by monthly dollar volume with trailing returns. Resolves either a named universe (SP500, TSX) or an explicit tickers override, bulk-fetches daily OHLCV over range, resamples each to monthly bars (open=first, high=max, low=min, close=last, volume=sum), and per ticker computes trailing returns over 1/3/6/12 periods plus the latest monthly dollar volume (close * volume). Tickers are ranked by latest dollar volume (descending) and the top top_n are returned. Tickers that fail to fetch or lack enough monthly history are skipped and noted in warnings. range is the lookback (5d,1mo,3mo,6mo,1y,2y,5y,max; default 2y); use a multi-year window so the 12-month horizon is well-defined. values holds range, as_of (latest monthly date, YYYY-MM-DD), count, and results — a ranked list of {ticker, dollar_volume, returns: {1m,3m,6m,12m}, rank} where any horizon longer than the available history is null. (paid: $0.0100/call)

Parametersrangetop_ntickersresampleuniverse

construct_portfolio

Turn a {ticker: score} mapping into long-only portfolio weights. Selects names and assigns non-negative weights that sum to 1.0 using the chosen method: top_n_weighted (weight by clipped score), equal_weight, risk_parity (inverse-volatility), concentrated_vol (highest-vol from a top-score pool), or sharpe_optimized (max-Sharpe long-only). The last three fetch daily history over range (5d,1mo,3mo,6mo,1y,2y,5y,max) and convert it to returns; tickers that fail to fetch are dropped with a warning. Returns the standard envelope; values holds method, top_n, a weights map, and n_holdings. (paid: $0.0100/call)

Parametersrangetop_nmethodscoresrequired

run_portfolio_backtest

Backtest a rebalanced, multi-ticker, long-only quant portfolio. Fetches daily history for every ticker over range, then runs a walk-forward simulation: at each period-end rebalance the chosen signal (jt_momentum, mean_reversion, rsi_filtered_momentum, trend_quality) scores each name using only data up to that date, and method turns those scores into long-only weights. Returns gross and net (after cost) performance. rebalance is M (monthly) or Q (quarterly); cost_bps is round-trip cost on turnover; benchmark drives the hit-rate metric and (with crash_filter) a regime filter holding cash when the benchmark trailing-12m return is negative. Returns the standard envelope; values holds equity_curve, rebalances, metrics, holdings and the echoed parameters. (paid: $0.0100/call)

Parametersrangetop_nmethodsignaltickersrequiredcost_bpsbenchmarkrebalancecrash_filter

compute_portfolio_stats

Compute portfolio-level statistics for a weighted basket of tickers. Given a {ticker: weight} mapping, fetches each ticker's daily history over range and returns the portfolio-level (not per-ticker) volatility, sharpe, max_drawdown and total_return of the weighted basket. weights need NOT sum to 1 (normalized internally). Tickers that cannot be fetched are dropped, a note is added to warnings, and the remaining weights are renormalized. risk_free_rate is an annual rate used only by Sharpe. Returns the standard envelope; values holds range, the normalized weights used, and the stats dict. (paid: $0.0100/call)

Parametersrangeweightsrequiredrisk_free_rate

compute_correlation_matrix

Compute the pairwise return-correlation matrix for a list of tickers. Fetches each ticker's daily history over range, converts it to daily returns, and computes the pairwise Pearson correlation (aligned on shared dates). Requires at least two tickers; tickers that cannot be fetched are dropped and noted in warnings (at least two must survive). Returns the standard envelope; values holds range, the tickers used, and matrix — a nested dict {rowTicker: {colTicker: correlation}} with a 1.0 diagonal. (paid: $0.0100/call)
