Kite MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating with Zerodha Kite API. This server provides Claude with tools to interact with your Kite trading account.

Features

  • Portfolio Management: Get positions, holdings, and orders
  • Market Data: Real-time quotes, LTP, and instrument data
  • Order Management: Place, modify, and cancel orders
  • Account Info: Profile, margins, and authentication status
  • Secure Authentication: OAuth 2.0 flow with token persistence

Prerequisites

  1. Zerodha Kite Connect App: Create an app at Kite Connect
  2. API Credentials: Get your API Key and Secret
  3. Bun: Latest version of Bun runtime

Installation

  1. Clone and install dependencies:
bun install
  1. Set up environment variables:
# Edit .env with your API credentials
  1. Configure your Kite Connect app with redirect URL:
http://localhost:50000/zerodha/auth/redirect

Quick Start

1. Authenticate with Kite API

bun run auth

This will:

  • Start a local OAuth server
  • Open your browser to Kite login
  • Save your access token securely

2. Start the MCP Server

bun start

3. Configure Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "kite": { "command": "bun", "args": ["run", "/path/to/kite-mcp/src/index.ts"] } } }

Development

Build (Optional)

bun run build

Development Mode

bun run dev # Watch mode for MCP server bun run dev:auth # Watch mode for auth server

Architecture

The project follows the Single Responsibility Principle:

  • ConfigManager: Environment and configuration handling
  • TokenManager: Token persistence and validation
  • OAuthServer: OAuth 2.0 authentication flow
  • KiteClient: Kite API wrapper with error handling
  • KiteMCPServer: MCP protocol implementation
  • Tools: Individual MCP tool implementations

Environment Variables

API_KEY=your_kite_api_key # Required: Kite Connect API Key API_SECRET=your_kite_api_secret # Required: Kite Connect API Secret OAUTH_PORT=50000 # Optional: OAuth server port (default: 50000)

Security

  • Tokens are stored locally in access_token.json
  • OAuth flow uses secure redirect handling
  • API credentials are never logged or exposed
  • Tokens auto-expire for security

Troubleshooting

Authentication Issues

  1. Verify API credentials in .env
  2. Check redirect URL in Kite Connect app settings
  3. Ensure OAuth port (50000) is available

Token Expiry

  • Kite tokens expire every ~6 hours
  • Re-run bun run auth when expired
  • Server will notify you of authentication status

MCP Connection Issues

  1. Verify Claude Desktop configuration
  2. Check server is running: bun start
  3. Look for errors in Claude Desktop logs
