Environment Variables

The server requires these environment variables for authentication:

Getting Your TOTP Key

Your TOTP secret key is the 32-character code you used when setting up 2FA in Google Authenticator/Authy. It looks like: ABCD1234EFGH5678IJKL9012MNOP3456

If you don't have it saved, reset 2FA in Zerodha Console to get a new one.

Other MCP Clients

For any MCP-compatible client, configure:

• Command: python

• Args: ["/path/to/zerodha-mcp/server.py"]

• Environment Variables:

  • ZERODHA_USER_ID = Your client ID

  • ZERODHA_PASSWORD = Your password

  • ZERODHA_TOTP_KEY = Your TOTP secret

Usage Examples

Once configured, ask your AI assistant:

• "What's my current portfolio value?"

• "Show me my open positions"

• "What's my P&L for today?"

• "How much funds do I have available?"

• "What's the LTP of RELIANCE?"

• "Get OHLC for NIFTY 50"

Security Notes

• Your credentials are stored locally in your MCP config file

• Credentials are never sent to the AI model, only used server-side

• The enctoken is cached locally in zerodha_enctoken.txt (gitignored)

• Each user must configure their own credentials on their own machine
