FlashAlpha ships two MCP endpoints with the same tool catalogue but different auth, and picking the wrong one is the single most common setup failure. This walks both paths and the errors you will actually hit.
FlashAlpha exposes 40 tools over the Model Context Protocol (23 live, 17 historical-replay), so you can ask Claude about gamma exposure, dealer positioning, volatility surfaces and Greeks in plain English instead of hand-rolling REST calls.
Which endpoint?
Same tools on both. Different authentication. Match the row to the client you are configuring.
