SimpleFunctions Developer Manual

MCP is the compatibility adapter, not the primary integration path. Prefer the CLI first, HTTP API second, and SDK / Agent SDK third when you control the runtime. This page documents the broad MCP adapter surface; the strict SDK / Agent SDK contract truth is GET /api/contracts/tools.

The SimpleFunctions MCP server exposes 101 tools at:

https://simplefunctions.dev/api/mcp/mcp   # Streamable HTTP (recommended)
https://simplefunctions.dev/api/mcp/sse   # Server-Sent Events

See MCP server for client wire-up. For a tour of how SimpleFunctions tools compose, see Build agents.

Authentication

Every tool that mutates user data, reads private data, or hits a paid upstream takes an apiKey parameter:

apiKey: sf_live_xxx

Generate a key at /dashboard/keys or via sf login from the CLI. Three auth tiers are used below:

Tier	Meaning
`none`	Public surface — no key required.
`optional`	Public response without a key; richer / private response with one.
`required`	Tool returns an error if `apiKey` is missing.

Conventions

Prices are in cents (0–100) unless documented otherwise. Probabilities live in [0, 1] only on the Real-Time Data API.
Timestamps are ISO 8601 (UTC) unless a specific tool documents Unix seconds.
All tool responses are wrapped in MCP’s standard { content: [{ type: 'text', text: '...' }] } envelope; the text field contains JSON or Markdown depending on the tool.
Errors come back inside text as the upstream error body — they do not raise MCP-level exceptions. Treat any text that starts with Error: or includes a status field as a failure.

Market data
