GetOutpost

You can run the GetOutpost MCP Server to surface real-time Indian options data and volatility analytics inside your MCP-enabled AI chats. This server provides access to implied volatility, realized volatility, volatility risk premium, and skew insights, enabling data-driven analysis for options research and trading ideas.

How to use

Install the MCP server and configure your client to load the GetOutpost MCP extension. Once running, you can ask your MCP client to retrieve implied volatility, realized volatility, VRP, and skew across symbols and expiries. Use the provided tools to filter, discover, and scan for volatility opportunities or hedges, then incorporate those results into your prompts and workflows.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine. You will also need npm to install the MCP server package.

Option 1: Install via Claude Desktop Marketplace (Coming Soon) — follow the marketplace process when available.

Option 2: Direct download of the MCP bundle (.mcpb) and install through Claude Desktop.

Option 3: NPM Global Installation

npm install -g getoutpost-mcp-server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getoutpost": {
      "command": "getoutpost-mcp-stdio",
      "env": {
        "CREDENTIALS_FILE_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/.getoutpost_credentials.json"
      },
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Configuration and credentials

You must provide a credentials file with your GetOutpost tokens. Create a file at the path you reference in the MCP server configuration.

Create the credentials file at the specified path with the following structure.

{
  "ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token_here",
  "REFRESH_TOKEN": "your_refresh_token_here",
  "EMAIL": "your_email@example.com"
}

Note: The MCP server automatically refreshes tokens and updates this file when tokens expire.

## Getting GetOutpost credentials

Sign up at GetOutpost.in, log in, and obtain your access and refresh tokens from the developer tools. Create the credentials file at `~/.getoutpost_credentials.json` with the values shown above.

Your MCP server will use this file path to authenticate and will refresh tokens as needed.
