Health check
The health check is a quick test that answers a single question: “is everything connected?” Rather than discovering a problem mid-task, you check the system’s state before you start. In the Claude × TradingView setup, the tv_health_check tool plays this role: it confirms the MCP server is properly linked to TradingView (cdp_connected: true) and that its API responds (api_available: true). If either fails, there’s no point going further: restart TradingView with the debugging port enabled, then test again.
