What do I get? / Deliverables
After setup with your sk- API key, your agent can invoke Sentinel Bot capabilities through MCP instead of bespoke scripts each time.
- MCP-accessible Sentinel backtest and deployment workflows
- Centralized API base URL configuration for agents

Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Backtesting and deploying trading automation is building an external integration to a live trading platform, even when the “product” is your own bot stack. Integrations is the right shelf for MCP tools that call a third-party trading API rather than shipping app UI or infra monitors.
How it compares
Trading-platform MCP integration, not a local backtest library or generic portfolio spreadsheet skill.
