Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http backtesting-arena https://tradingstrategies.work/api/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Common questions

Is Backtesting Arena safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

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 (1.13.0) reached the registry 22 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?

Backtesting Arena — Agent Skill

Battle-tested market intelligence for AI agents — every claim backtested, versioned, and explainable. Evidence and base rates, never financial advice.

Skill package for AI agents and LLMs that need programmatic access to the [Backtesting Arena](https://tradingstrategies.work) API: daily Bitcoin / crypto cycle scoring, on-chain indicators, aggregated strategy insights, and on-demand backtests.

Three channels, one product:

Channel	Auth	Use case
Public	none, fair-use cache	quick reads, no signup
REST + MCP	Bearer API key (Free tier available)	full surface, higher quotas
x402 pay-per-call	EIP-3009 wallet signature (USDC on Base)	autonomous agents, no account

The full capability descriptor an agent should load is SKILL.md.

Install for Claude Code / Claude Desktop

# Coming soon when /install-skill GA's; for now clone + reference manually:

git clone https://github.com/Schoasch/skill-backtesting-arena.git

Reference skills/backtesting-arena/SKILL.md as a context document in your agent runtime, or use the MCP server directly (see below).

Quick start

1. Cycle-aware trading bot (Bearer)

curl https://tradingstrategies.work/api/arena-pulse/today

→ { "score": 35, "band": "risk-off", ... } — no API key required

Want higher quotas + full surface? Get a free Bearer key.

2. Autonomous agent with USDC wallet (x402)

# First call returns HTTP 402 + payment instructions:

curl -i https://tradingstrategies.work/api/v1/agent/btc-cycle/latest

→ 402 Payment Required, body has accepts[] with payTo, asset, amount, network

Discovery descriptor lists all paid endpoints + pricing:

curl https://tradingstrategies.work/.well-known/x402

Full Python client showing the EIP-3009 sign + retry pattern: examples/python-x402-client.py.

3. MCP server (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)

Two transports — HTTP (recommended, requires Bearer key) or stdio.

HTTP variant (drop into claude_desktop_config.json → mcpServers):

"backtesting-arena": { "url": "https://tradingstrategies.work/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk-arena-…" } } }

Full example incl. stdio variant + Cursor config: examples/claude-desktop-config.json.

Examples folder

File	What
`examples/curl-snippets.sh`	Bash snippets for public + Bearer endpoints
`examples/python-x402-client.py`	Python EIP-3009 signing + retry for x402 endpoints
`examples/typescript-mcp-client.ts`	Connect to MCP server, list the 49 default tools, call one
`examples/claude-desktop-config.json`	Drop-in config for Claude Desktop / Cursor

Discovery files (machine-readable)

For AI tooling that auto-discovers APIs:

/openapi.json — full OpenAPI 3.1 spec, ~70 paths, x-x402 extension on agent endpoints
/skill.md — this skill (canonical, kept in sync with this repo)
/llms.txt — LLM-friendly summary
/.well-known/api.json — cross-tool discovery hub
/.well-known/x402 — Bazaar-v2 descriptor of paid endpoints (alias .json)
/.well-known/ai-plugin.json — OpenAI-style plugin manifest

Pricing

Free — public endpoints + Free Bearer tier (30 req/h, 200/d)
API Pro €9,99/mo — 300 req/h, 3k/d, backtest triggers, larger windows
API Power €29,99/mo — 2000 req/h, 30k/d, universe-backtests (50 pairs)
x402 pay-per-call — $0.01-$0.50 USDC per call, no subscription

One subscription covers both REST and MCP channels. Pricing is reviewed quarterly against agent-economy benchmarks (changelog).
