Setup¶

The local MCP server authenticates via an active session in cTrader Windows. Ensure you are logged in with your cTID, open Settings, then navigate to MCP Server.

Here, the available options include:

• Enable MCP server - tick to enable connections via MCP.
• Allow trading via MCP - tick to allow trading when MCP is enabled.
• Require confirmation for trading operations - tick if you want to confirm each trade operation before execution.

Paste the following into your AI agent. It will update your MCP configuration, connect to the cTrader local server and ask for your approval along the way where required.

Set up the cTrader local MCP server for me. Add the following to my MCP configuration, then verify the connection:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ctrader": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:9876/mcp/"
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, copy the code from the settings window and insert it into your AI client's MCP config file manually.

Verification¶

Restart your AI client session or application, then check that the local MCP server appears in the list of connected servers.
