Agent

Reversion exposes its full trading platform to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Connect any MCP-compatible app — Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, or your own agent — and interact with markets, strategies, and backtesting using natural language.

Architecture

Agent App (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, custom agent)
    ↕ stdio or HTTP
reversion-mcp
    ↕ HTTP (Bearer token auth)
Reversion Backend — single public API gateway
    ├── Trading, market data, account (direct)
    └── Charting, backtesting, optimization (proxied to compute worker)

The MCP server is a thin client that forwards all requests to the Reversion backend. It never touches private keys — authentication uses scoped API tokens (rvt_...) issued through the web app.

Reversion MCP

Technical guide for installing and configuring the MCP server. Covers npm, source, and HTTP transport setups, environment variables, and token scopes.

Token Scopes

Your API token controls what the agent can access. Assign scopes when creating a token:

Scope	Grants Access To
read	Account overview, watchlist, market data, economic calendar
trade	Order placement & cancellation, position management, leverage & margin
algo	Algorithm CRUD, charting, backtesting, optimization

For full functionality, create a token with all three scopes: ["read", "trade", "algo"].
