Changelog
A dated record of significant changes, new tools, and notable updates to the Alpha Ladder MCP API and developer documentation.
This changelog records notable changes to the Alpha Ladder MCP API, tools, and developer documentation. Entries are listed newest-first. Routine styling, infrastructure, and build-tooling changes are omitted.
2026-06-03
Sharper error reference, leaner reference docs, and a dark-mode refresh.
- Status & Errors, expanded. The reference now documents every failure an agent can encounter in one place — the OTC quote and trade errors (
410quote-expired and409rate-drift, with theircodevalues), validation errors (400), transient503service errors, and a new section explaining how each one actually surfaces to an AI client. The goal: an agent should be able to tell a "stop and ask the user" error from a "safe to retry" one without guessing. - Currencies retired as a standalone page. The standalone reference page is gone. Supported currencies are now stated inline where they matter — and, more importantly, the authoritative list is always the one returned at runtime by the
get_*_currenciestools, never a hard-coded table. - Dark-mode polish. Reworked the dark theme for a calmer read: neutral-grey surfaces in place of the previous purple cast, the sidebar sharing the content background, lower-contrast body and heading text, softer card borders and backgrounds, an all-white logo, and a single consistent style for the page toolbar buttons.
2026-06-02
Wider AI-client coverage.
- Added a VS Code setup guide, bringing the client walkthroughs to seven: Claude.ai, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code.
- Tightened the Getting Started, Agent Skill, and product pages for accuracy and flow.
2026-06-01
Consistent names, clearer navigation, and the Agent Skill.
A broad revision aimed at making the docs faster to scan and the product vocabulary consistent:
- Product name finalized — AgentX (payments + fixed income). The internal PayX / WealthX codenames are gone in favour of plain functional terms; page URLs are unchanged.
- New Agent Skill section — overview, installation (Claude.ai as the primary path, plus Claude Code, Cursor, and others), and a how-it-works walkthrough.
- Reworked information architecture — a skill-first quickstart, product taglines, and a flatter, tidier sidebar (the CLI now lives under Resources).
- CLI — the command reference is now a clearly marked "Coming soon" placeholder while it firms up.
- Added a "Was this page helpful?" prompt and a social footer, alongside a typography and layout refresh.
2026-05-31
Developer documentation launched — AgentX.
The Alpha Ladder developer documentation site went live at /developers. The initial release covered:
- Getting Started — quickstart, core concepts, authentication (OAuth 2.0 + PKCE for hosted MCP; direct Bearer token for Claude Code / Claude Desktop), and setup guides for Claude.ai, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline.
- AgentX — concepts, MCP tools for payments (deposits, withdrawals, OTC) and fixed income (Fixed Income Products), a response reference covering minor-unit conversion and the OTC two-step error model, and a how-to guide for every workflow.
- Reference — currencies, status and error codes, rate limits and backoff guidance.
- CLI — Claude Code integration overview and MCP tool command reference.
- Resources — this changelog, security and compliance overview, FAQ, and support.
Built to be read by people and agents alike: client-side full-text search, an llms.txt export, and per-page Copy for LLM, View as Markdown, and Open in ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity actions.
New entries will be added here as the API and documentation evolve.
