What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • profit_calculator

    Price any options trade with up to eight legs: maximum profit and loss, breakevens, net credit or debit, the model's chance of profit at expiration and the expected move. Pass a strategy name (for example iron_condor or bull_put_spread) to build standard legs from the stock price

  • what_if

  • list_strategies

    The eleven standard structures the calculator knows (long call and put, covered call, cash-secured put, the four vertical spreads, iron condor, straddle, strangle), each built on an example stock price with its legs, maximum profit and loss, breakevens and chance of profit, with

  • expected_move

    The one and two standard deviation price ranges the options market is pricing for a stock over a horizon, from the stock price, implied volatility and days ahead.

    The model probability that a stock finishes above or below a price level (a breakeven or a short strike) by a date, from implied volatility, under the lognormal the options market implies.

  • position_size

    How many contracts fit a risk budget: account equity, the percent of it risked per trade, and the worst case per contract give the dollar budget, the contract count and the share of equity at risk.

  • learn_search

    Find the Learn article, glossary term, calculator or research page that answers an options question: strategies, the greeks, implied volatility, IV rank, probability of profit, rolling, assignment, the wheel, screening rules and more. Returns titles, summaries and links.

Common questions

Is Optionscanner safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (4.1.3) reached the registry 28 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Thalovant MCP
