Kwant MCP server

Connect Kwant and your agent gets 16 tools, among them backtest, build_monthly_universe, compare_tickers. It answers at https://kwant.sh/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 12 September 2026; the last check, on 24 October 2026, succeeded.

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

Description as the publisher wrote it.

The 16 tools Kwant offers

ToolWhat it does
backtestBacktest 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 n
Inputs: ticker, strategy, range, params
build_monthly_universeRank 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=
Inputs: universe, tickers, range, resample, top_n
compare_tickersRank 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 th
Inputs: tickers, metric, range
compute_correlation_matrixCompute 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 t
Inputs: tickers, range
compute_indicatorCompute 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/
Inputs: ticker, indicator, params, length, window, period
compute_portfolio_statsCompute 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 tota
Inputs: weights, range, risk_free_rate
compute_statsCompute 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 `ben
Inputs: ticker, metrics, range, risk_free_rate, benchmark
compute_universe_scoresScore 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 sig
Inputs: universe, tickers, signal, range, top_n
construct_portfolioTurn 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
Inputs: scores, method, top_n, range
detect_signalsDetect 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 a
Inputs: ticker, signals, lookback, interval, range
get_fundamentalsGet 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, se
Inputs: ticker
get_price_historyGet 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
Inputs: ticker, interval, range
get_quoteGet 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
Inputs: ticker
run_portfolio_backtestBacktest 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_filtere
Inputs: tickers, signal, method, range, rebalance, top_n
screenScreen 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/cal
Inputs: universe, filters, range, max_tickers, sort_by
screen_with_scoresRank 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)
Inputs: universe, signal, range, top_n, max_tickers

Questions about Kwant

Is there an official Kwant MCP server?

Yes. It is published by kwant.sh and served from kwant.sh, the vendor's own domain: https://kwant.sh/mcp.

How many tools does Kwant have?

16, as returned by the server's own tools/list on 23 September 2026: backtest, build_monthly_universe, compare_tickers, compute_correlation_matrix, compute_indicator, compute_portfolio_stats, compute_stats, compute_universe_scores, and 8 more.

Is Kwant down?

It answered our last check on 24 October 2026 in 368 ms. Over 6 checks since 12 September 2026 it answered 6.

How do I add Kwant to Cursor?

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://kwant.sh/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.

Does Kwant need an API key?

It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.

Is Kwant free?

No: the publisher declares paid use. {&quot;protocols&quot;: [&quot;x402&quot;], &quot;price&quot;: 0.005, &quot;currency&quot;: &quot;USDC&quot;, &quot;networks&quot;: [&quot;base&quot;], &quot;verified&quot;: &quot;live&quot;, &quot;priceSource&quot;: &quot;live&quot;, &quot;checked&quot;: 1792850328}

Where this comes from

Publisher: sh.kwant. Endpoint host: kwant.sh. ARD identifier: urn:air:sh.kwant:mcp:kwant. First indexed 10 September 2026. The tools are exactly what the server returned; nothing on this page is inferred from its name. Ranking in Neuronto search is never for sale.
