Skills

Skills help your AI agent understand how to work with cTrader AI Agent Connect.

Note

Skills do not replace MCP server setup. First, connect your AI agent to the local or remote MCP server.

Install skills

  1. Install Node.js 18 or newer.
  2. Open Terminal on macOS or Linux, or PowerShell on Windows.
  3. Run the following command:
npx skills add https://github.com/spotware/ctrader-skills --all --global

If the terminal asks to install the skills package, type y and press Enter.

This command installs all skills from the skills/ folder in the spotware/ctrader-skills repository, including skills/ctrader-mcp-servers, for all supported AI agents.

Note

The --all option means you do not need to select agents or individual skills manually.
The --global option makes the Skills available outside a single project folder.

Verify the installation

To check whether the skills were installed, run:

npx skills ls -g

Restart your AI agent after the installation so it can load the new skills.

Update skills

To update the installed skills later, run:

npx skills update -g -y

Warning

Skills can help an AI agent use the cTrader local and remote MCP servers more effectively, but they do not verify trading decisions for you. Review all actions carefully, especially when trading is enabled.

Warning

The MCP server is a tool for AI-assisted trading and does not provide financial, investment, legal or tax advice. AI-generated actions may trigger real trades and result in losses. Users are solely responsible for verifying outputs, supervising strategies, securing credentials and using the MCP server at their own risk.
