Connect an AI assistant
Ask questions in your own words. Your assistant uses ForwardFlow to run the model on BTC Now’s server and explain the results. No ForwardFlow account or model installation is needed.
1. Request your access token
Email info@btcnow.com with your name, organisation and the AI client you want to use.
BTC Now will arrange access and send your token privately. Keep it in your client’s connection settings, not in the chat. Each invited person or organisation receives its own token.
2. Connect your assistant
Choose your setup guide:
- ChatGPT desktop — fill in the connection fields in the app.
- Codex CLI or IDE — use the shared local MCP configuration.
- Claude Code — save the connection from your terminal.

| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | forwardflow |
| Server URL | https://btcnow-forwardflow.fly.dev/mcp |
| Type | Streamable HTTP |
| Headers → Key | Authorization |
| Headers → Value | Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN |
Replace YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN with the token BTC Now sent you. Include the space after Bearer.
Your client must support a remote HTTP MCP server with an authentication header. Save the settings and check the client’s connection status.

3. Ask your first question
Use ForwardFlow to help me frame an analysis. I want to understand the Holder’s return from Agreements. Ask me only the missing questions, then explain the assumptions before calculating.
The assistant should establish whether you want USD growth or BTC growth compared with holding the same contributed BTC, and what you want to compare. It asks up to three short questions at a time and should keep answers you already gave. If you do not know a technical assumption, it can propose an explicit illustrative starting case and test how the answer changes when that assumption changes.
Before calculating, the assistant shows the objective, capital basis, horizon and main assumptions. ForwardFlow checks the prepared request and supplies the calculation inputs. The assistant then uses the engine’s results, including warnings and unavailable metrics, to explain the answer. A prepared request does not certify the assumptions or establish investment suitability.
Once the first case is clear, try:
Compare that with Bitcoin falling 40% in month six and staying lower. Keep the other assumptions the same. What changes for the Holder?
An Agreement represents one contractual BTC. A question about a fixed wallet with reserves, reinvestment or daily margin requires a different portfolio model; ForwardFlow cannot silently treat a 100 BTC wallet as 100 Agreements. The connection supplies tools, an analyst guide and an optional starter prompt. It does not install a skill in your assistant.

Compare hedge risk
Ask: “Compare my hedge variants with unhedged on matching simulations. Show dollar and coin losses, worst-5% loss, and the cash needed before protection pays. Explain the market-path assumptions and test another seed sample.”
The hedge_risk_samples tool supplies the observations. It returns at most 32 simulations per call, or 8 with monthly detail. Combine raw observations from non-overlapping seed batches only when the assumptions, valuation seed, engine build and historical-data identity match. Cash is a monthly screen; daily collateral calls and forced closure are not simulated. Read the comparison guide.
Choose Dollar or Coin
Tell your assistant which outcome matters: grow USD capital or grow BTC compared with holding the same contributed BTC. Both use the same MCP connection and access token. For example: “Use Coin. Compare the current hedge against unhedged Agreements and holding BTC. Show BTC surplus, the chance of ending below holding, and USD cash needs separately.” The assistant should confirm the objective before judging which strategy is better. How the holding comparison works.
