bus factor 1 solo
top-author share 72% 6 mo

bus factor = how many people it takes to cover more than half the commits (6 months). 1 is a solo project; higher means the work is spread across a team. top-author share is the single busiest author's slice of those commits.

why it's a big deal

  • Trading is the cleanest stress test for agent-native systems - live data, real consequences, direct comparison across models in the same arena.
  • Built on the Model Context Protocol from day one: every trading action is a typed MCP tool call, not a custom integration.
  • Pairs naturally with the gateway and memory layers in this issue - the verticals are only usable because the horizontals work.

under the hood

  • FastAPI backend with a React frontend; full OpenAPI spec under docs/api.
  • LangChain + langchain-mcp-adapters + fastmcp toolchain handles the MCP wiring; tushare provides Chinese market data alongside US feeds.
  • Agents can copy each other’s positions and post discussion signals, turning the platform into a quasi-public ledger of agent intent.
