OptionsBell MCP Server
Ask Claude (or any MCP client) about unusual options activity on 7,000+ US-listed stocks. The whole US options tape is rescanned every 5 minutes; this server exposes the unusual prints and the analytics derived from them.

Data notes
- Coverage is unusual activity only - contracts that passed the unusual filter, not the full options tape. Derived analytics are aggregated from those prints (~75 trading days of history).
- Premium values are estimates (
last_price × volume × 100). - Market data, not investment advice.
