Claude

Connect Block Scholes to Claude for natural-language access to crypto derivatives data and strategy backtesting. Both Claude Web and Claude Desktop are supported.

The flow is the same for both options: create a Block Scholes account, then connect it in Claude.

A Claude Max (or higher) plan is required for optimal MCP connector support.

Before you start

Step 1: Sign up for a Block Scholes account

Sign up for an account with Block Scholes at Block Scholes Console.

Claude Web

Step 1: Open Connector Settings

Navigate to Settings → Connections in Claude.

Step 2: Add the Block Scholes Connector

1. Click Connect

Step 3: Authenticate

A login window will appear. Sign in with your Block Scholes account.

Step 4: Enable Capabilities

For the best experience, ensure the following are enabled under Settings → Capabilities:

• AI-powered artifacts — enables richer data visualisation

• Code execution — accelerates analysis and entry-point discovery

Network egress is not required for Block Scholes tools and can remain disabled.

Step 5: Verify the Connection

Start a new chat and open the connector filters (click the + icon in the message bar, then Connectors). Confirm that Block Scholes is toggled on.

Test the connection with a simple query:

What is the latest BTC spot index price?

Performance Tips

• Use Claude Opus 4.5 or above for reliable tool-calling

• Enable code execution in capabilities for faster analysis

• When submitting backtests, include all trades in a single prompt where possible rather than splitting across multiple messages

• Use ISO 8601 date format (e.g. 2025-01-01T08:00:00Z) when specifying dates
