🧪 Try DeepAgent in your browser first → https://hub.openfinclaw.ai/en/chat — no install required.

What is it?

OpenFinClaw plugs a one-stop quant-trading agent into any MCP-compatible coding assistant. Its core is DeepAgent: a remote multi-agent service that fetches market data, analyses it, writes deep reports, generates strategies, backtests them and proposes paper-trade plans — from a single natural-language prompt. Reach it from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Hermes, and 20+ other platforms. Also runs as a standalone terminal CLI.

Tool groups

Load only what you need with --tools=deepagent,strategy (either subset).

Quick Start

💡 Not ready to install? Try DeepAgent online and decide after.

1. Interactive setup (recommended)

npx @openfinclaw/cli init

The wizard will:

• Ask for your DeepAgent API Key (required for the deepagent group)
• Optionally ask for a Hub API Key (fch_..., only if you enable the strategy group)
• Let you pick tool groups
• Auto-detect installed platforms (by app bundles, user data dirs, CLI on PATH, or existing MCP config)
• Write MCP config to each selected platform
• Save keys to ~/.openfinclaw/config.json (chmod 600 on Unix) so the terminal CLI works without export

init also supports scripted, non-interactive use (useful on Windows / CI where raw-mode prompts don't work):

npx @openfinclaw/cli init --yes \
    --platforms cursor,claude-code \
    --tool-groups deepagent,strategy \
    --deepagent-api-key <your-deepagent-key> \
    --api-key fch_xxx

2. Manual MCP configuration

Drop this into your agent platform's MCP config file (path varies per platform — see below):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openfinclaw": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@openfinclaw/cli", "serve"],
      "env": {
        "OPENFINCLAW_DEEPAGENT_API_KEY": "<your-deepagent-key>",
        "OPENFINCLAW_API_KEY": "<your-hub-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Omit whichever key you don't need — DeepAgent and Hub are independently authenticated.

3. Terminal CLI

For repeated terminal use, install globally so you can call openfinclaw directly instead of prefixing every command with npx:

npm install -g @openfinclaw/cli     # or: pnpm add -g @openfinclaw/cli
openfinclaw doctor                  # confirms the install + keys

Not installing globally? Every example below also works prefixed with npx -y @openfinclaw/cli (slower first run).

# DeepAgent — real token-by-token streaming in the terminal, covers the whole quant flow
openfinclaw deepagent research "Research NVDA last 90 days, propose a momentum strategy, backtest 1y, paper-trade plan"
openfinclaw deepagent skills
openfinclaw deepagent backtests
openfinclaw deepagent packages
openfinclaw deepagent download <package_id>

# Strategy management (Hub key required)
openfinclaw leaderboard --limit 10
openfinclaw strategy-info <uuid>
openfinclaw fork <uuid>
openfinclaw validate ./my-strategy
openfinclaw publish ./my-strategy.zip

# Diagnostics (works with any subset of keys)
openfinclaw doctor

Hub key vs DeepAgent key. The two services authenticate independently. deepagent * and doctor run fine with only a DeepAgent key configured; leaderboard, publish, fork etc. (strategy group) need the Hub fch_ key.

Configuration

API Keys (two independent keys)

Either key is optional on its own — the CLI lets you run the subcommands that match whichever keys you have. doctor works with any subset of keys.

Resolution order for each key (highest first):

1. CLI flag: --deepagent-api-key <key> / --api-key <key>
2. Environment variable
3. ~/.openfinclaw/config.json (written by openfinclaw init)

Get keys at hub.openfinclaw.ai, or trial DeepAgent online at https://hub.openfinclaw.ai/en/chat.

Environment variables

Streaming & long-running tools

DeepAgent research runs can take 3–10 minutes. Two access patterns:

• Terminal CLI (openfinclaw deepagent research "..."): true token-by-token streaming directly to stdout
• MCP clients: the research workflow is split into three calls — fin_deepagent_research_submit (returns a taskId immediately), fin_deepagent_research_poll (every 30–60 s for progress), fin_deepagent_research_finalize (fetch full result). The agent drives this loop itself — works consistently across Claude Desktop, Cursor, Hermes, Windsurf, and other MCP clients.
