Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http option-desk-mcp https://optiondesk.avidquant.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add option-desk-mcp --url https://optiondesk.avidquant.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable option-desk-mcp in your MCP settings.

      "url": "https://optiondesk.avidquant.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
