Optionsahoy MCP: MCP server, setup and security
Optionsahoy MCP is an open-source MCP server published on GitHub that lets an AI agent plan equity compensation exercises sales vesting and concentration reduction strategies. Its repository has 6 stars and its last commit is from October 22, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.
What Optionsahoy MCP does
According to its repository: “US equity-compensation planning: ISO/AMT exercise schedules, NSO sell-vs-hold, RSU vesting, concentration sell-downs, collars and QSBS checks.”
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard plug between an AI agent and an outside service: once the server is connected, its tools show up in the agent, which decides when to call them. Optionsahoy MCP is listed under Finance and payments, a category of 202 servers in the directory, where it ranks #141 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: equity-compensation, gemini-cli-extension, ai-agents, anthropic, claude, cloudflare-pages-functions.
Installing and connecting Optionsahoy MCP
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- remote server (streamable-http): you connect to it by URL, with nothing to install locally
It works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and most recent agents). You add one entry to the client's MCP configuration: server name, start command or URL, environment variables. Project language: TypeScript.
Security: what to check
Connecting an MCP server means installing software that talks straight to your agent: it runs with your rights and the model trusts its tool descriptions. The risk therefore depends on what it can touch and how far its code can be trusted.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Optionsahoy MCP. That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on May 26, 2026, the AlvisoOculus/optionsahoy-mcp repository has 6 stars and 0 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 17% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 1.11.0 (October 7, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
