Headless Oracle V5 MCP Server

Headless Oracle

Ed25519-signed market-state attestations for 28 global exchanges.

What It Does

Autonomous trading agents need to know if an exchange is open before executing trades. Headless Oracle answers that question with a cryptographically signed receipt that any agent can verify independently — no trust in the operator required. UNKNOWN states are always treated as CLOSED (fail-closed).

Quick Start

# MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, any MCP client)
npx headless-oracle-mcp

# REST API — demo receipt (no auth required)
curl https://headlessoracle.com/v5/demo?mic=XNYS

# Sandbox key (200 calls, 7 days, no card) - POST with an email
curl -X POST https://headlessoracle.com/v5/sandbox \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"email":"you@example.com"}'

Architecture

Single TypeScript Cloudflare Worker. Ed25519 signing via @noble/ed25519. Three KV namespaces (overrides, API keys, telemetry). Two Durable Objects (webhooks, SSE streams). Runs on Cloudflare's edge network - no origin server.

4-tier fail-closed: KV override check -> schedule engine -> UNKNOWN fallback -> unsigned critical failure.

See docs/architecture/overview.md for the full architecture.

API

Four MCP tools - get_market_status, get_market_schedule, list_exchanges, get_payment_options. Receipt verification is REST-only (POST /v5/verify) or offline with @headlessoracle/verify.

The REST surface is enumerated in the OpenAPI 3.1 spec, which is served live and is the list of record. Full references:

Exchanges

23 traditional markets (XNYS, XNAS, XLON, XJPX, XPAR, XHKG, XSES, XASX, XBOM, XNSE, XSHG, XSHE, XKRX, XJSE, XBSP, XSWX, XMIL, XIST, XSAU, XDFM, XNZE, XHEL, XSTO) plus 5 extended (XCBT, XNYM, XCBO, XCOI, XBIN). DST handled automatically via IANA timezone names. Lunch breaks, half-days, and holidays for 2026-2027.

Testing

npm test              # the full unit/integration suite
npm run test:smoke    # 11 smoke tests against live production

The passing count is published by the worker itself at /v5/metrics/public as tests_passing, and CI fails if that number and the suite disagree. It is not restated here, because a number in a README is a number nothing checks.

Security

Ed25519 signatures on every response. 60-second receipt TTL. Fail-closed architecture (UNKNOWN = CLOSED). Security headers on all responses (HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options).

See SECURITY.md for the responsible disclosure policy.
