# AvidQuant

> AvidQuant builds agentic systems, MCP servers and quantitative risk software for trading and risk desks, and publishes two of them as source-available projects: Option Desk and Risk Desk. Contact: info@avidquant.com.

Every result the desks return carries its source, units, sign convention, assumptions and a degraded flag. Both desks are research software. They connect to no broker, place no orders and give no investment advice. The hosted services fetch no market data.

## Desks

- [Option Desk](https://optiondesk.avidquant.com/): Option analytics from a supplied option chain or a synthetic sample: Greeks, dealer positioning, strategy payoffs, GARCH simulation and backtests. Hosted MCP endpoint, Streamable HTTP, no sign-in, 13 tools: https://optiondesk.avidquant.com/mcp
- [Risk Desk](https://riskdesk.avidquant.com/): Portfolio risk from supplied data or a synthetic example: Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall with backtests, stress tests, SA-CCR, credit VaR and FRTB capital components. Hosted MCP endpoint, Streamable HTTP, no sign-in, 29 read-only tools: https://riskdesk.avidquant.com/mcp

## Source code

- [Option Desk repository](https://github.com/Iman/agent-driven-options-desk-and-skills): Python engine, CLI, dashboard, local MCP server with 14 tools, eight agent skills. Licence: PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0.
- [Risk Desk repository](https://github.com/Iman/agent-driven-risk-desk-and-skills): Python engine, CLI, dashboard, local MCP server with 30 tools, 14 agent skills. Licence: PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0.

## Areas of work

- Agentic development: agents that call typed tools, write each result to a file and state what they could not do.
- MCP servers and tools: local and hosted Model Context Protocol servers with titled and annotated tools.
- Financial engineering: option pricing and Greeks, volatility models, Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall, stress testing, counterparty and credit risk, FRTB capital components.
- AI governance and model risk: model inventories, assumptions registers, independent numerical review, and gates that fail a build when a document and the code disagree.
