Data API

Connect AI coding tools over MCP, or manage API keys for direct REST/SDK access, network restrictions, and usage.

Connect an AI coding tool

Market data and symbol lookup over MCP, with no API key. Sign in with a QuantPad account that has an active paid subscription.

MCP server URL

https://quantpad.ai/api/mcp

1.
Install with one click, or add the configuration below to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects):
Add to Cursor
```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quantpad-data": {
      "url": "https://quantpad.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```
2.
Save the configuration and restart Cursor.
3.
Open Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP, find quantpad-data, and click Needs login. Sign in to QuantPad in the browser and click Allow.
4.
Confirm quantpad-data shows a green active status and its tools are enabled.
5.
Start a new Agent chat and ask it to use QuantPad, e.g. “use the QuantPad MCP to search for AAPL and check its coverage”.

Available tools

Documentation

search_symbols

Search the QuantPad market-data symbol universe. Optionally narrow to one asset class: futures, equity, option, future_option. Worth doing -- a query like "CL" matches an equity, futures handles, an option chain and an options-on-futures chain at once.

get_coverage

Get available schemas and date coverage for one canonical symbol.

resolve_symbology

Resolve a ticker or alias to matching QuantPad canonical symbols.

describe_schema

Describe the fields returned by any schema get_coverage reports, which endpoint returns it, and any restriction on the symbol handle it can be requested with. Covers order-book depth and reference schemas, not just OHLCV -- use it on "definition" to learn how to enumerate an option chain.

get_usage

Get the authenticated subscriber’s recent external-data usage.

get_api_usage_guide

Read this before responding to requests for ticks, L2/mbp-10 order-book depth, bulk history, backtests, or local Python/API access. Explains what QuantPad provides outside the preview-sized MCP tools and how to install/use the SDK safely.

preview_bars

Preview at most 500 OHLCV bars over at most 31 days. Not for bulk export or ticks. For L2/mbp-10, order books, or bulk history, call get_api_usage_guide instead of claiming the data is unavailable.

Stop and target sweep

FilesMachine

Asleep

Storage9.3 GB

Memory4.0 GB

CPU2 cores

Nothing runs while the machine is asleep. It wakes up when you run something.

The machine goes to sleep after 30 minutes without activity, and anything still running stops.

sweep_stop_target.py

sweep.py

Run

1import quantpad_data as qpd

2from sweep import run_grid

4h = qpd.Historical()

5bars = h.timeseries.get_range(

6 dataset="GLBX.MDP3", symbols="ES.v.0", stype_in="continuous",

7 schema="ohlcv-1m", roll_adjust="back", start="2010-06-07", end="2026-10-23",

9stops = range(2, 50)

10targets = range(4, 54)

12results = run_grid(bars, stops, targets)

Cloud compute

Every project gets its own machine, so a 2,400-run sweep never touches your laptop.

Slash commands

Type / in any chat to run a command. Built-in commands ship with QuantPad; your own are created by the agent with /create-command or written here, and imported ones come from published projects.

Built-in

Mine

Ask the agent with /create-command in any chat, or write one here.

Slash commands

/review audits a backtest for the mistakes that break results. Save your own workflows as commands.

Memory

What the agent remembers about you between chats: who you are, how you like to work, and the decisions made in each project. It saves these as you chat; correct or delete anything here.

Instructions

Who you are and how you want the agent to work, in your own words. Sent with every chat; the agent never edits it.

Remember across chats

Off, the agent neither uses nor adds to its memory. What it has saved stays here until you delete it.

The agent remembers how you trade between chats. You can read and edit all of it.
