The trade API, three ways in.

Path 2

Any MCP client

One hub, two credential kinds — both enforced by the same server-side mandate checks on every tool call.

• Hub URL: https://mcp.marketyard.com/mcp — stateless streamable HTTP, works with any MCP client.
• Header auth: a raw ytp_… key as Authorization: Bearer. Works today with Claude Code and the Claude API MCP connector.
• OAuth 2.1: the flow behind the claude.ai connector — PKCE, dynamic client registration, discoverable via /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server.
• Tools: search_lots, read_lot_manifest, list_my_threads, read_thread, open_thread, send_message, read_my_attestations.

A standalone stdio server is also available for local installs — see the mcp/ package.
