## Where each one fits

### Dhan MCP

- Placing and managing Dhan orders from a chat, with confirmation
- Setting price and indicator alerts with linked orders
- Intraday candles and option chains for instruments you trade

**Where it stops**

- Live quotes and option chains need a paid data plan
- No company financials, shareholding, filings, flows or screener
- Places real orders on your live account

### Tapetide MCP

- Researching any listed company, not only the ones you hold
- Screening the market and testing an idea against history
- Following flows, valuations and options across the market

**Where it stops**

- Does not place orders or read your live broker account
- Options data is end of day, not live
- No intraday candles; price history is daily and weekly

## Questions that need both

  Tapetide builds the shortlist. Dhan watches it for you.
- "Check NIFTY’s IV rank and put-call ratio history on Tapetide before I place an options order on Dhan."
  Tapetide keeps the volatility history. Dhan executes.
