What your AI can do with Option Desk
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “option_desk_status”: Check the Option Desk data mode, source, refresh time, and public licence gate before requesting figures. No live feed or hosted backtest to.”
“Use “option_snapshot_schema”: Return the accepted CSV and JSON option-chain fields, safe repair rules, size limits, data-rights confirmation, and retention policy.”
“Use “option_chain_snapshot”: Summarize SYNTH or analyze a user-supplied option chain for private analysis. This service never fetches market data.”
“Use “option_positioning”: Return gamma walls, gamma flip, and max pain from SYNTH or a user-supplied chain. Dealer signs are an assumption, not observed positions.”
How secure is the Option Desk MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Option Desk holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Option Desk (avidquant.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Option Desk adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps

https://optiondesk.avidquant.com/mcpQuestions, answered
