FLOX

FLOX is an AI-native framework for building trading systems.

Strategies, backtests, paper trading, and live execution sit behind one toolkit. AI agents discover the surface and drive it end-to-end through an MCP control plane. One strategy class runs backtest, paper, and live. Bindings for Python, Node.js, Codon, embedded JavaScript, and a stable C API.

Documentation is available at flox-foundation.github.io/flox

Language bindings

Language	Install	Docs
Python	`pip install flox-py`	reference
Node.js	`npm install @flox-foundation/flox`	reference
Codon	build from source	reference
JavaScript (embedded)	bundled with C++ build	reference
C API	`libflox_capi.so`	reference

All bindings expose the same strategy API, indicators, order books, backtesting, and data I/O. The C API is the integration point for adding support for any other language.

AI companion

flox-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Cline) grounded access to the FLOX surface — symbol lookups across bindings, scaffolders, indicator and backtest tools, full-text doc search.

pip install flox-mcp

See the package README for setup and the full tool list.

Connectors

Native exchange connectors (Bybit, Bitget, Hyperliquid, Polymarket) live under connectors/ and build with -DFLOX_BUILD_CONNECTORS=ON. The flag defaults to OFF so a backtest-only or research build doesn't pay the dependency cost. See the connectors README for adapter notes and the optional Polymarket Rust toolchain step.

Build options

The CMake options that gate every optional artefact (bindings, demo, tools, tests, benchmarks, connectors) are catalogued in docs/build/feature-flags.md. Defaults are OFF so a bare cmake -B build produces only the core C++ static library.
