An MCP server that tracks high-impact economic events (FOMC, NFP, CPI, PPI, GDP, ISM, EIA inventories, and more) and checks whether a prop firm's news-restriction window is active right now — the rule that gets an otherwise-good trade disqualified for being placed during a blackout window.

## The problem this solves

Most prop firms restrict trading around high-impact news releases, but "high-impact" and the exact restriction window differ by event and by firm. Missing that a CPI print is 3 minutes away, or that FOMC restrictions still apply 10 minutes after the announcement, is a quiet way to void an otherwise-clean trading day.

## Tools

### `get_upcoming_events`
Upcoming economic calendar events for the next N days — FOMC, NFP, CPI, PPI, GDP, ISM, EIA, JOLTS, retail sales, and more, each tagged with affected instruments and typical impact.

### `check_trading_restriction`
Whether a prop firm's news-restriction window is active now or within the next N minutes.

### `get_high_impact_events`
High-impact-only events for specific instruments this week, with expected move sizes.

### `calculate_news_risk_score`
A 1-10 risk score for trading right now given upcoming events, with a plain recommendation.
