This MCP server provides precise tools for options traders to identify the Max Pain point. By analyzing strike prices and open interest for both calls and puts, the calculate_max_pain tool finds the specific strike where the aggregate loss for option holders is minimized. It also identifies pin risk, which occurs when the underlying price is within 1% of the max pain strike near expiration. Use validate_market_data to ensure your options data is consistent and get_strike_loss_breakdown to see the specific call and put losses contributing to the total at any given strike.

Calculate the max pain for these strikes: [100, 105, 110], call OI: [500, 200, 100], put OI: [100, 300, 600], and underlying price: 104.

The max pain strike is 105. The price distance is 1.0, and there is no pin risk.

Is there pin risk if the max pain strike is 150 and the current price is 150.5?

Yes, there is pin risk because the price is within 1% of the max pain strike.

Show me the loss breakdown for strike 110 with strikes [100, 110, 120], call OI [100, 100, 100], and put OI [100, 100, 100].

At strike 110, the call loss is 10000 and the put loss is 10000, resulting in a total loss of 20000.

The Max Pain point is the strike price where the total aggregate loss for all option holders is minimized, often used to estimate where market makers might drive the price.
