vike-cli MCP server

vike

A Rust trading platform: a live execution core, a backtest and research harness, a desktop charting shell, and bridges to fourteen venues.

This repository is a source mirror. It carries the code and nothing else — no CI workflows, no operator runbooks, no history. Each publish is one commit. The development repository is private; what you see here is what the released binaries are built from.

What is in the box

Running it

Container images carry every headless tool as one binary with a symlink per tool:

docker pull vikeio/vike-tradehub:latest      # Docker Hub
docker pull ghcr.io/vike-io/vike-tradehub    # GHCR

The command-line tool installs from the release without a toolchain (Linux and Windows; any other target compiles from the clone — crates/vike-cli/Cargo.toml's [package.metadata.binstall] says why):

cargo binstall --git https://github.com/vike-io/vike-trader vike-cli

On Windows with no Rust at all, download the executable from the release — it needs nothing installed and no toolchain:

curl.exe -L -o vike-cli.exe https://github.com/vike-io/vike-trader/releases/latest/download/vike-cli.exe
.\vike-cli.exe --version

Verify it against the release's own manifest before running it:

curl.exe -L -o SHA256SUMS https://github.com/vike-io/vike-trader/releases/latest/download/SHA256SUMS
(Get-FileHash vike-cli.exe -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLower()   # compare with the vike-cli.exe line

⚠ Neither path updates itself. cargo binstall records the install under a crate version that never moves, so a re-install needs --force; a downloaded executable is replaced by downloading it again.

⚠ On Windows the standalone backtest ENGINE is not published, so data, backtest --local and sweep --local are unavailable until you build one. The remote path needs no engine: vike-cli backtest run --addr HOST:PORT runs on a vike-datahub server instead.

From source:

cargo build --workspace                      # no native dependencies on default features
cargo run -p vike-app                        # the desktop shell (live feed; needs internet)

For an agent (Claude Code, Cursor, any MCP client), the skills install straight from this repo:

npx skills add vike-io/vike-trader           # every procedure under skills/, one SKILL.md each

A fresh install has no market data — two commands fix that

vike-cli init                # example strategies, indicators and run profiles under user_data/
vike-cli data seed-demo      # a SYNTHETIC demo tape, written under the venue id `demo`
vike-cli backtest run --local --profile user_data/profiles/backtest.toml \
                  --script user_data/strategies/rhai/sma_cross/sma_cross.rhai
