SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Connects Heady agents to external trading APIs and data feeds via a typed MCP gateway, enabling deterministic, executable interactions with external infrastructure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Central MCP gateway routes tool calls from all agents with authentication, rate limiting, request validation, and consistent response formatting.
  • Unified Tool Registry coordinates trades, market data, and integration bridges (e.g., Tradovate, Rithmic, Market Data interfaces) through MCP.
  • TypeScript MCP server template and Python options provide end-to-end server skeletons for production-grade integrations, with configurable security and audit capabilities.
  • Security-first design with JWT authentication, per-tool rate limits, input validation, and immutable audit logs.
  • Use Case: Build a compliant trading gateway that safely exposes external APIs to Alpha, Risk, and Execution agents.

Quick Start

Set up an MCP server from the TypeScript template and register a simple tool to validate end-to-end MCP routing.

Frequently Asked Questions about heady-mcp-gateway

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect AI agents to external trading APIs securely?▼

To connect AI agents to external trading APIs securely, you can use an MCP gateway that routes tool calls with JWT authentication, rate limiting, input validation, and immutable audit logging for deterministic automation.

How do I set up an MCP server using TypeScript for API integrations?▼

You can set up an MCP server using the provided TypeScript server template to register tools, configure security parameters, and validate end-to-end MCP routing for external API integrations.

What is an MCP gateway and when do I need one for automation?▼

An MCP gateway is a central routing layer that coordinates tool calls between agents and external services like data feeds or trading bridges. You need one when requiring deterministic, validated, and auditable automation workflows.

Can I use Python instead of TypeScript to build an MCP gateway?▼

Yes, you can use Python instead of TypeScript to build an MCP gateway, as the implementation provides Python options alongside a TypeScript server template for production-grade integrations with configurable security and audit capabilities.

Does the MCP gateway support rate limiting and audit logging for trading bridges?▼

Yes, the MCP gateway supports per-tool rate limiting and immutable audit logging, ensuring trading bridges and market data interfaces remain compliant while safely exposing external APIs to execution agents.

What are the limitations of using a centralized MCP gateway for external service calls?▼

When using a centralized MCP gateway for external service calls, limitations may include the overhead of strict input validation and token-based authentication on latency, requiring careful rate limit configuration to avoid bottlenecking high-frequency trading data feeds.
