Local MCP server¶

The local MCP server connects your AI agent directly to cTrader Windows, exposing live trading, market data and UI control as tools the agent can call on demand.

First, set up the local MCP server in cTrader Windows and connect your AI client.

The local MCP server supports the following operations:

• Trading – place market, limit, stop and stop-limit orders; view, modify and close positions; manage pending orders.
• Account – list accounts, check balance, equity, margin and account statistics; review available symbols and trading sessions.
• Charts – open, close and navigate charts; change symbol and period; manage chart objects and templates.
• Analysis – fetch live prices, historical candles and news; review trade history, portfolio exposure and risk.
• Indicators – add, tune and remove built-in indicators; read their computed values from the active chart.
• Plugins – list, start and stop desktop plugins that extend cTrader.
• UI layout – manage workspaces, UI layout, Market Watch, watchlists, Active Symbol Panel, Trade Watch, apps and notifications.
• Price alerts – create, view and delete price alerts.

For end-to-end examples that combine these operations into common workflows, see the use cases.
