@pineforge/codegen-mcp

Local stdio MCP server bridging an AI agent to the user's local Docker daemon and Binance public market data. Fully local — the pineforge-engine image bundles the pineforge-codegen transpiler, so Pine → C++ → backtest all run on the user's machine. No API key, nothing leaves the box.

Tools

Cartesian sweep of inputs × overrides reusing one compile

fetch_binance_ohlcv

pull_engine_image

local Docker

Install

npx -y @pineforge/codegen-mcp

Requires:

  • Node ≥ 20

  • Docker daemon running locally

No API key. The first backtest pulls the pineforge-engine image (or run pull_engine_image ahead of time).

list_engine_params — discover knobs

Free, local, zero-I/O catalog of every key accepted by backtest_pine / backtest_pine_grid, split into two groups:

  • strategy_overrides — the 9 strategy(...) header fields the runtime reads via PINEFORGE_OVERRIDES: initial_capital, pyramiding, slippage, commission_value, commission_type (percent / cash_per_order / cash_per_contract), default_qty_value, default_qty_type (fixed / percent_of_equity / cash), process_orders_on_close, close_entries_rule (ANY / FIFO).

  • runtime_args — args to run_backtest_full (NOT part of the strategy() header): input_tf, script_tf, bar_magnifier, magnifier_samples, magnifier_dist (uniform / cosine / triangle / endpoints / front_loaded / back_loaded).

Each entry is {key, type, enum?, description}. Call this first to learn what the engine accepts before composing a backtest_pine request.

backtest_pine example

{
  "source": "//@version=6\nstrategy(\"sma cross\")\n...",
  "ohlcv_csv_path": "./btcusdt_15m_7d.csv",

  // Optional: override Pine input.*() values without touching the source.
  // Keys = the second arg of input.*(...) (e.g. "Fast Length").
  "inputs":    { "Fast Length": 8, "Slow Length": 21 },

  // Optional: override strategy(...) header fields. Each key is typed —
  // call list_engine_params for the catalog.
  "overrides": {
    "initial_capital":    100000,
    "default_qty_type":   "percent_of_equity",
    "default_qty_value":  10,
    "commission_type":    "percent",
    "commission_value":   0.04,
    "slippage":           2,
    "pyramiding":         0,
    "process_orders_on_close": true,
    "close_entries_rule": "ANY"
  },

  // Optional: engine runtime args (NOT strategy() header). Use script_tf
  // to aggregate the input CSV into a coarser strategy timeframe — the
  // engine REJECTS script_tf finer than input_tf with a structured error
  // ({"engine":"pineforge","error":"..."}, exit code 1).
  "runtime": {
    "input_tf":          "15",
    "script_tf":         "60",
    "bar_magnifier":     true,
    "magnifier_samples": 8,
    "magnifier_dist":    "endpoints"
  }
}

inputs is forwarded as the PINEFORGE_INPUTS env var to the runtime image, overrides as PINEFORGE_OVERRIDES, and each runtime field as a separate PINEFORGE_INPUT_TF / PINEFORGE_SCRIPT_TF / PINEFORGE_BAR_MAGNIFIER / PINEFORGE_MAGNIFIER_SAMPLES / PINEFORGE_MAGNIFIER_DIST env var. Empty / unset → defaults from strategy.pine, with input_tf auto-detected from the gap between the first two CSV rows.

Returns the same JSON schema as the standalone pineforge-engine Docker image:

{
  "engine": "pineforge",
  "summary": { "total_trades": 49, "net_pnl": -190.85, ... },
  "applied_inputs":    { "Fast Length": "8", "Slow Length": "21" },
  "applied_overrides": { "default_qty_value": "5" },
  "trades": [ ... ],
  "elapsed_seconds": 0.0042,
  "_meta": { "strategy_cpp_bytes": 5079, "image": "ghcr.io/.../pineforge-engine:latest" }
}

backtest_pine_grid — parameter sweep

Transpiles the Pine source once (locally, in-container) then runs the same compiled binary against the cartesian product of inputs × overrides. Returns a ranked list plus the top entry under best.

{
  "source": "//@version=6\nstrategy(\"macd\")\n...",
  "ohlcv_csv_path": "./btcusdt_15m_7d.csv",

  // Each axis is {key: list-of-values}. All combinations are tried.
  "inputs": {
    "Fast Length": [8, 12, 19],
    "Slow Length": [21, 26, 39]
  },
  "overrides": {
    "default_qty_value": [1, 5],
    "commission_value":  [0.04]
  },

  // Optional knobs:
  "fixed_inputs":     { "Source": "close" },   // applied to every combo
  "fixed_overrides":  {},                      // typed strategy() overrides
  "runtime":          { "input_tf": "15",      // engine runtime args, fixed
                        "script_tf": "60" },   // across the sweep
  "max_combinations": 64,                      // hard cap
  "concurrency":      2,                       // parallel docker runs
  "include_trades":   false,                   // omit per-trade lists
  "sort_by":          "net_pnl"                // ranking metric
}

fetch_binance_ohlcv — pull market data

Writes a backtest-ready CSV (header timestamp,open,high,low,close,volume, timestamp = open time in UNIX ms UTC) from Binance's public endpoints. No auth required. Requests > 1000 bars are paginated automatically. Output path is subject to the same cwd scope as ohlcv_csv_path (relax with PINEFORGE_ALLOW_ANYWHERE=1).

{
  "symbol":      "BTCUSDT",
  "interval":    "15m",          // 1s, 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 1d, 3d, 1w, 1M
  "market":      "spot",         // or "usdt_perp" for USDT-margined perpetual futures
  "limit":       672,            // total bars; > 1000 paginates
  "output_path": "./btcusdt_15m_7d.csv"
  // Optional: "start_time" / "end_time" in UNIX ms UTC.
}

binance_symbols — discover / validate symbols

Returns the list of symbols available on the Binance public API for OHLCV fetching. Cached 5 min in-process. Use this to validate a symbol before calling fetch_binance_ohlcv.

{
  "market":        "usdt_perp",
  "query":         "BTC",         // case-insensitive substring match
  "quote_asset":   "USDT",
  "status":        "TRADING",
  "contract_type": "PERPETUAL",   // futures-only filter
  "limit":         50
}

Filesystem scope

By default, OHLCV paths must be inside the current working directory of the MCP server process. Override with:

export PINEFORGE_ALLOW_ANYWHERE=1
