MCP Server - TradingView Chart Image Scraper

This MCP server provides tools to fetch TradingView chart images based on ticker and interval.

Setup

1. Create Virtual Environment:

   # Navigate to the project directory cd tradingview-chart-mcp # Create the venv (use python3 if python is not linked) python3 -m venv .venv

2. Activate Virtual Environment:

   • macOS/Linux:

     source .venv/bin/activate

   • Windows (Git Bash/WSL):

     source .venv/Scripts/activate

   • Windows (Command Prompt):

     .venv\\Scripts\\activate.bat

   • Windows (PowerShell):

     .venv\\Scripts\\Activate.ps1

     (Note: You might need to adjust PowerShell execution policy:

   Your terminal prompt should now indicate you are in the (.venv).

3. Install Dependencies (inside venv):

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure Environment (for Local Testing):

   • Copy .env.example to .env.

   • Fill in your TRADINGVIEW_SESSION_ID and TRADINGVIEW_SESSION_ID_SIGN in the .env file. You can obtain these from your browser's cookies after logging into TradingView.

   • This .env file is used when running the server directly (e.g., python main.py) for local testing.

   • Adjust optional scraper settings (MCP_SCRAPER_HEADLESS, etc.) in .env if needed for local runs.

5. Ensure ChromeDriver: Make sure chromedriver is installed and accessible in your system's PATH, or configure the tview-scraper.py accordingly if it allows specifying a path.

Running the Server

Ensure your virtual environment is activated (source .venv/bin/activate or equivalent).

Deactivating the Virtual Environment

When you are finished, you can deactivate the environment:

Usage

Once the server is running (within the activated venv), you can interact with it using an MCP client, targeting the TradingView Chart Image server name.

Available Tools:

• get_tradingview_chart_image(ticker: str, interval: str): Fetches the direct image URL for a TradingView chart.

Example Prompts:

• "Get the 15 minute chart for NASDAQ:AAPL"

• "Show me the daily chart for BYBIT:BTCUSDT.P"

• "Fetch TradingView chart image for COINBASE:ETHUSD on the 60 timeframe"

🔌 Using with MCP Clients (Claude Desktop / Cursor)

This server supports two ways of providing configuration:

1. Via When running python main.py directly, the server will load credentials and settings from a .env file in the project directory.

2. Via Client Environment Variables (Recommended for Integration): When run by an MCP client (like Claude/Cursor), you should configure the client to inject the required environment variables directly. These will override any values found in a

Claude Desktop
