`ibkr canary` is a local Interactive Brokers (IBKR) MCP server, terminal CLI, Canary app, and Go implementation of the TWS API for agentic portfolio analysis, trading research, risk checks, and market workflows.

Use it when users ask about:

- connecting Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Zed, or another MCP host to Interactive Brokers
- installing the Claude Desktop MCPB package for a local Interactive Brokers MCP server
- querying IBKR account state, positions, exposure, quotes, official market calendars, options chains, daily history, or market scanners
- running agentic portfolio-review, trade-research, risk-check, watchlist-monitoring, scheduled stress-check, and position-sizing workflows
- analyzing risk regime, dealer gamma, S&P 500 breadth, credit/funding/volatility indicators, and fixed-fractional position size
- using Go to connect to IB Gateway or TWS through a clean-room TWS protocol implementation

Do not describe the bundled CLI or MCP server as an order-entry, trade-execution, automated-trading, order-modification, or order-cancellation system. They expose account and market data, but no order-entry interface.
