listing.about

OptionsAhoy runs deterministic equity compensation tax calculations. Tools cover multi-year ISO exercise schedules under AMT, NSO and RSU sell-versus-hold analysis, QSBS Section 1202 qualification, single-stock concentration risk, protective put, collar and put spread pricing, cash-goal sell plans, and RSU lot ordering. Tax logic covers federal rules plus all 50 states and DC, using 2026 brackets.

It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://optionsahoy.com/mcp with no sign-in or API key. A local package is also available through npx (optionsahoy-mcp). The server instructs the assistant to ask the user for any missing input rather than guess values.

listing.setup.remote

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http optionsahoy https://optionsahoy.com/mcp
  1. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. optionsahoy should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
  2. Name it OptionsAhoy and paste this URL:
https://optionsahoy.com/mcp
  1. Click Add. Its tools appear in the chat's tools menu.

Claude Desktop's JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

claude.ai

  1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
  1. Check that the URL reads https://optionsahoy.com/mcp and click Add.
  2. Turn it on in a chat from the tools menu.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.

ChatGPT

  1. On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click + to create an app for a remote MCP server.
  3. Paste https://optionsahoy.com/mcp as the server URL and choose No authentication.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

Cursor

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "optionsahoy": {
      "url": "https://optionsahoy.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"optionsahoy","type":"http","url":"https://optionsahoy.com/mcp"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "optionsahoy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://optionsahoy.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "optionsahoy": {
      "serverUrl": "https://optionsahoy.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add optionsahoy --url https://optionsahoy.com/mcp

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.optionsahoy]
url = "https://optionsahoy.com/mcp"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http optionsahoy https://optionsahoy.com/mcp

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI's settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "optionsahoy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://optionsahoy.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://optionsahoy.com/mcp.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/optionsahoy into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://optionsahoy.com/mcp, so your client talks to OptionsAhoy directly. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does OptionsAhoy need an API key or a sign-in?

No. OptionsAhoy doesn't ask for an account or key.

Is OptionsAhoy a remote or a local server?

Remote. AlphaLatitude Inc hosts it at https://optionsahoy.com/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.

What can OptionsAhoy do?

It has 8 tools, including amt_iso_optimize, nso_calculate and rsu_sell_vs_hold. You can plan multi-year ISO exercise schedules that account for AMT, compare sell-at-exercise and hold for NSOs and compare sell-at-vest and hold for RSUs, including withholding gap.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read OptionsAhoy's own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
