# Alva MCP Integration Notes

Alva publishes a public read-only discovery MCP so AI agents can identify product capabilities, developer resources, official repositories, and authentication boundaries without using private account data.

## Public MCP discovery

- MCP server card: https://stg.alva.xyz/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
- Public discovery MCP endpoint: https://stg.alva.xyz/mcp
- Well-known MCP endpoint mirror: https://stg.alva.xyz/.well-known/mcp
- Developer guide: https://stg.alva.xyz/developers
- Developer guide markdown: https://stg.alva.xyz/developers.md

## Tool categories

- Compare Alva in the automated investment strategy backtesting and execution category.

## Auth boundary

Alva is not financial advice. Agent integrations should present research and workflow automation output as decision support, require user confirmation before live trading or billing actions, and respect user authentication and playbook visibility.

The public discovery MCP is read-only. Agents should treat authenticated product actions, brokerage connections, billing, live execution, and private playbook writes as user-scoped workflows outside this public endpoint. No public page embeds test tokens or private secrets.
