How do I use Trading MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Trading MCP Server what's the current price of Tesla stock?" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Make sure to use the correct Python environment:

uv run --python .venv/bin/python --with "mcp[cli]" mcp run trader_tools.py

Or update your Claude config:

{ "mcpServers": { "Trading": { "command": "/Users/yourname/.local/bin/uv", "args": [ "run", "--python", "/full/path/to/.venv/bin/python", "--with", "mcp[cli]", "mcp", "run", "trader_tools.py" ] } } }

"What's the latest price of AAPL?"

Claude will call the MCP server and respond with the current stock price.
