The way to drive AskFutures from your own tools is the MCP server. That’s the public, supported programmatic surface. There is no public REST API for third parties to call directly.
Everything the web app does — create a session, build a strategy, run a backtest, sweep parameters — is available to you through MCP tools. You connect an MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Codex, or your own), authenticate once, and call the tools.

What lives here

This tab is the detailed reference for the programmatic surface.

MCP tool reference

Every MCP tool, with its inputs and the response shape it returns. The field-level companion to the Developers walkthrough.

Internal HTTP API

Why the web app’s HTTP layer is private, and how the MCP tools map onto it.

If you want to get connected first

The Developers tab is the place to start — it covers connecting a client, authenticating, and a guided first run. Come back here when you need the exact input fields and response fields for a specific tool.

Developers overview

What the MCP server is and which clients work.

Quickstart

Connect and run your first strategy programmatically.

Authentication

How to sign in from an MCP client.

A note on the numbers

Anything you read back from these tools — P&L, win rate, drawdown — comes from a fixed, deterministic backtest engine, not from the AI. The AI only turns your words into rules. See Is the backtest real?.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test before you trade.
