Generic stdio MCP

In a Python 3.12+ source checkout, run python -m pip install -e . and check kabuforge doctor. Replace both the executable and dedicated workspace with absolute paths. On Windows use command C:/path/to/venv/Scripts/kabuforge.exe and workspace C:/path/to/agent_workspace. Keep secrets out of JSON.

The client sends newline-delimited JSON-RPC to stdin and reads responses from stdout.

/absolute/path/to/venv/bin/kabuforge --locale en_US mcp --workspace /absolute/path/to/agent_workspace

Send these UTF-8 JSON requests one line at a time through the client’s stdin connection. stdout is reserved for the protocol; inspect stderr for logs. Notifications have no response.

Verify initialize → notifications/initialized → tools/list. Research inputs are explicit workspace files. Paper writes are disabled by default; broker order submission is unsupported. Existing MCP examples · Agent API contract
