@gt-protocol/mcp

GT Protocol MCP Server — connect Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible AI agent to your GT Protocol trading account.

Manage bots, run backtests, check balances, and automate trading strategies — all through natural language.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI agents call external tools. This server exposes the GT Protocol REST API as a set of tools that any MCP-compatible AI can use.

Quickstart

1. Add to Claude Code

Add this to your .mcp.json (or ~/.claude.json for global access):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gt-protocol": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/gt-protocol/mcp-server/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

No env variables needed.

2. Authenticate

On first use, call the authenticate tool:

Authenticate with GT Protocol using email@example.com and my password

The server calls /auth/sign_in, saves tokens to ~/.gt-mcp-auth.json, and confirms with your account email. Done.

You will never need to do this again — tokens are auto-refreshed on every use and persist across restarts.

3. Add to Cursor

Open Settings → MCP and add the same configuration block (without env).

4. Start trading with AI

List my active bots
What's my Binance balance?
Create a BTC/USDT long bot with $50 start order and 2% take profit
Close the deal on bot 12345
Run a backtest for ETH/USDT with MACD strategy, 3% TP, 1% SL

Examples

Morning portfolio check

What's the status of all my bots? Which ones have active deals?
Show me my total profit this week.
What's my available USDT balance on Binance?

Strategy research

Run a backtest for BTC/USDT on Binance with bollinger strategy,
long direction, 2.5% TP, 1% SL, 5m timeframe, last 30 days.
Compare with MACD strategy same params.

Bot management

Stop all my losing bots (those with negative total profit).
Update bot 12345 — increase take profit to 3% and add a 5% stop loss.
Start a deal on bot 12345 right now without waiting for a signal.

Paper Trading

GT Protocol supports paper (demo) trading — test strategies without real capital.

• Set paper: true in create_bot to create a demo bot from scratch

• Use paper_clone to copy an existing live bot into demo mode

Paper bots run on real market data but don't place real orders.

Authentication Details

Tokens are stored in ~/.gt-mcp-auth.json after the first authenticate call.

When the refresh token expires (~7 days of total inactivity), call authenticate again. Normal usage keeps tokens alive indefinitely through automatic refresh.

You can still set GT_TOKEN / GT_REFRESH_TOKEN in .mcp.json env to override the saved tokens — useful for CI/automation.
