Continue uses an array of server objects rather than a map.

Troubleshooting

Common errors and fixes

No signals available

Signals are only generated when all 3 AI experts reach consensus. During quiet markets, fewer signals appear.

Verify: Try with a lower confidence threshold

Server unreachable

Verify signals.x70.ai is accessible. Check your network connection.

Verify: curl https://signals.x70.ai/mcp

Signal seems stale

Signals update every minute. If a signal is old, it may have expired. Check the timestamp.

Verify: Get fresh signals and check timestamps
