Helium MCP · Trained options models for Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf

Ask Your AI What a Trade Is Actually Worth

Your AI can talk about a ticker. Helium lets it price the option, show both sides with odds, and hand you today's ranked trades.

Paste once · then ask about any ticker, option, or today's ranked trades

What your AI is missing

It can summarize a ticker. It cannot tell you if an option is cheap, which trade ranks highest today, or how far a name can move. Those numbers come from models trained on that ticker.

$
See if the contract is cheap

Give Helium a ticker, strike, expiration, and type. You get a model price and the odds it expires in the money. Compare that to the ask.

Both sides, with odds

Every ticker has a bull case, a bear case, and 23 forecast windows from 3 days to 2+ years. You see the likely outcomes, and what would prove the model wrong.

Today's ranked trades, already sorted

Helium ranks 100M+ short-vol and long-vol candidates every day. Ask for best odds, reward-to-risk, or smallest max loss. The list arrives with the contracts attached.

Check the work first

Forecast accuracy is published daily. News comes with both sides and the quotes behind each bias score. Check the work before you size the trade.

Try asking
"What's driving NVDA today, and how are sources leaning on it?"
One story, the likely outcomes, related tickers, and a bias read with the quotes behind it. Or rank recent articles by any bias, e.g. the most conspiratorial or the least credible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can my AI do with Helium that it can't on its own?
It can talk about a ticker. It cannot price an option, rank today's short-vol trades, or give you 23 forecast windows with a bull and bear case. Helium can. The quotes stay attached, so you can check the work.
What counts as a "query"?
Each successful tool call that returns results counts as one query, whether it is a news search, ticker lookup, bias analysis, or meme search. Failed requests and empty results are not billed.
How does "50 free queries" work?
The first 50 queries from your network's IP subnet (/24) are free. No credit card or sign-up required. Point your MCP client at https://heliumtrades.com/mcp and start querying. After 50, you will need an API key.
How much does it cost after the free tier?
$0.02 per query, billed daily via Stripe. There is no monthly minimum. If you use 100 queries in a month, you pay $2. Usage is tracked in real time and you receive a daily invoice.
What makes Helium's news data unique?
Most AI tools can retrieve an article. Helium reads it for you: article-grounded facts, the tacit assumptions the piece quietly relies on, and verified quotes behind each bias score, across 5,000+ sources. It returns only supported bias dimensions; omitted dimensions are not treated as neutral. Scored dimensions include a claim, verified supporting quote, confidence, concise rationale, and material counterevidence when present. Analysis is automated and not human reviewed.
Is the bias data useful for model training or evaluation?
Yes. get_bias_from_url and get_source_bias with include_evidence=true return supported scores joined to claims, verified quotes, confidence, rationale, provenance, and material counterevidence when present. Article responses also include concise extracted facts with attribution and uncertainty preserved. This supports grounding, counterexample mining, calibration, and media-reasoning datasets.
Can I use this for stock trading or financial research?
Yes. get_ticker exposes AI-generated bull and bear cases, forecast ranges, IV rank, and options strategies. get_option_price provides a model-predicted value from the latest available options snapshot. search_balanced_news turns multiple sources into one story with likely outcomes and relevant tickers. These are research inputs with uncertainty, not guarantees.
Where is my API key stored and is it secure?
Your API key is stored securely in our database. Treat it like a password. Do not commit it to public repos. If your key is compromised, contact us at contact@heliumtrades.com and we will rotate it immediately.
How do I stop paid access?
Visit the Stripe customer portal to stop paid access anytime. There is no cancellation fee. If you have trouble, email contact@heliumtrades.com.

Give your AI the model, not another headline.

Paste once. Then ask what a contract is worth, which trades rank highest today, and what happens if you are wrong.
