Run locally (without Docker)

cd tastyscanner-mcp
npm install

# Copy env template and fill in credentials
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your OAuth credentials

# Run with hot-reload
npm run dev

# Or build and run
npm run build
npm start

Test with curl

# Initialize MCP session (add -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" if MCP_AUTH_TOKEN is set)
curl -X POST http://localhost:7698/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-auth-token" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "initialize",
    "params": {
      "protocolVersion": "2025-03-26",
      "capabilities": {},
      "clientInfo": {"name": "test", "version": "1.0.0"}
    }
  }'

# Call a tool (use session-id from init response)
curl -X POST http://localhost:7698/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-auth-token" \
  -H "mcp-session-id: <session-id>" \

    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "get_connection_status",

  }'

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`TASTY_CLIENT_ID`	Yes	—	TastyTrade OAuth Client ID
`TASTY_CLIENT_SECRET`	Yes	—	TastyTrade OAuth Client Secret
`TASTY_REFRESH_TOKEN`	Yes	—	TastyTrade OAuth Refresh Token
`TASTY_ACCOUNT`	No	auto	Account number (auto-detects first)
`TASTY_PRODUCTION`	No	`true`	`true` = production, `false` = sandbox
`MCP_PORT`	No	`7698`	HTTP server port
`MCP_AUTH_TOKEN`	No	—	Bearer token for endpoint auth. If set, all `/mcp` requests require `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
`LOG_LEVEL`	No	`info`	`debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`
`ENABLE_LIVE_TRADING`	No	`false`	Set `true` to allow `execute_trade` and `adjust_order`

Security Notes

Authentication: Set MCP_AUTH_TOKEN in .env to require Bearer token auth on all /mcp endpoints. Without it, the server is open (backwards compatible but not recommended for production).
Rate limiting: 120 requests/minute per IP on MCP endpoints.
CORS: Restricted to MCP_CORS_ORIGIN (default http://localhost:3333).
Credentials are passed via environment variables, never hardcoded.
execute_trade and adjust_order require ENABLE_LIVE_TRADING=true — disabled by default.
Session IDs use crypto.randomUUID() (cryptographically secure).
Account numbers are masked in logs (last 4 digits only).
Do not expose port 7698 to the internet without auth enabled.
