Implementation Reference

• quantconnect_mcp/src/tools/optimization_tools.py:282-357 (handler)

  The async handler function decorated with @mcp.tool() that implements the list_optimizations tool. It lists optimizations for a given project_id by calling the QuantConnect API endpoint 'optimizations/list'.

  @mcp.tool()

      project_id: int
