canli-mcp / Indicators

How can an AI agent compute technical indicators like RSI and MACD?

canli-mcp computes them exactly on your machine: rsi, macd, bollinger_bands and dozens more, from prices it reads itself or you pass in, so the model never estimates an indicator in its head.

Ask it

What is Apple's 14-day RSI?

The agent finds the tool through canli-mcp's find_tool and runs it through run_tool. This is the call:

{
  "calls": [
    {
      "name": "price_history",
      "arguments": {
        "symbol": "AAPL",
        "start": "2026-06-01"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "rsi",
      "arguments": {
        "close": {
          "$result": 0,
          "path": "close"
        },
        "period": 14,
        "tail": 10
      }
    }
  ],
  "return": "last"
}
