An options scanner your AI assistant can call
OptionClaws runs a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Connect it once and your assistant can search optionable symbols, run curated preset scans, and run custom scans across covered calls, cash-secured puts, credit spreads, iron condors, and every other supported strategy, returning ranked candidates in the chat. Every tool is read-only; nothing places a trade.
