YouIs the TSLA earnings straddle cheap or expensive?
get_earnings_move_analysisget_iv_rank
Options are pricing a ±5.3% move for TSLA's Oct 21 report. Over its last 12 reports the stock opened ±7.4% away on average, and IV rank is 0: implied volatility is at its lowest in a year. So on paper the straddle is cheap. It paid off at the open in 5 of those 12 reports, and ApexVol's verdict is no clear edge.

What a dashboard can't do
One question.
Three tools.
A screen answers one question at a time. Claude chains the tools itself: it screens the market, picks the name, prices the trade and checks where it breaks, then tells you what it found.
YouFind a big, liquid stock where options are rich and earnings are more than a month away. Build a one-month iron condor on it and tell me how far it can fall before I lose money.

build_strategyPriced the Nov 13 condor from the live chain: sell the 330 put and 425 call, buy the 320 put and 435 call.
It collects $344 against a $656 max loss, with a 62% probability of profit. At expiry it keeps the full credit unless SNOW closes below $326.56, an 11% drop, or above $428.44.
Without it: a screener, an options chain and a P&L calculator, by hand.
Before and after
Same Claude.
Now it can see the market.
Claude on its own
Knows options. Can't see today's prices.
It can explain what an iron condor is and how IV rank works. Without live options chains it can't tell you which stock is rich today, what a trade pays or where it breaks.

Positioning
"Where's the gamma wall on QQQ?"
The call wall is at 760 and the put wall at 750, with QQQ at 751.19. It sits below the gamma flip at 784.26, where dealer hedging tends to amplify moves.

Strategy
"What does a one-month SPY put spread pay?"
Selling the Nov 13 739/734 put spread collects $38 against $462 of risk, with an 86% probability of profit. It loses money below $738.62, 5.1% under today's price.

Term structure
"How does SPY volatility change by expiry?"

ApexVol is listed in Claude's connector directory. Open the listing, select Connect to Claude, approve read-only access, and start asking. Nothing to install, no token to copy. Prefer to run the server on your own machine? That path is below.
# 1. Open ApexVol in Claude's connector directory and select Connect to Claude
https://claude.ai/directory/apexvol
# 2. Claude sends you to apexvol.com. Sign in, then approve:
# "Read options analytics on your behalf (chains, IV, Greeks, screeners)"
# 3. Ask: "Is the TSLA earnings straddle cheap or expensive?"
# Other assistants (ChatGPT, Cursor), or adding it by hand in Claude under
# Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector: paste this URL
https://apexvol.com/mcp-serverRead-only: it cannot change your account, billing or password. Approving creates a token labelled Claude connector under Account → API Access; revoke it there to disconnect. Use the apex form of the URL (apexvol.com, not www.).
Rather run it locally, in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or your own scripts? Install the client instead:
# 1. Install from PyPI (pipx keeps it isolated and on your PATH)
pipx install apexvol-mcp
# 2. Verify your token: prints the auth result and remaining quota
APEXVOL_API_TOKEN=avmcp_… apexvol-mcp --check
# 3. Connect Claude Code
claude mcp add apexvol -e APEXVOL_API_TOKEN=avmcp_… -- apexvol-mcp{
"mcpServers": {
"apexvol": {
"command": "apexvol-mcp",
"env": { "APEXVOL_API_TOKEN": "avmcp_…" }
}
}
}Rather script it directly? The same token works on the REST API.
The client is open source on PyPI.
