MTContext MCP Quickstart
Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client to a MetaTrader 4 or 5 terminal — no Python, no local server to run.
MTContext is a cloud-hosted, remote MCP server. There's nothing to clone,
build, or pip install from this repo — this repo exists to document the
connection and point at the real thing. (This is intentional: the server
implementation itself is closed-source, cloud infrastructure, not something
you run yourself.)
How it works
- Sign up (free tier: read-only market data, no card required).
- Drag one Expert Advisor file (
.ex5for MT5,.ex4for MT4 — MT4 support coming soon) onto a chart in your MetaTrader terminal. - Copy your ready-made MCP config snippet from the dashboard and paste it into your client's config.
- Ask your AI client, in plain English, for live prices, account state,
indicators, or — when you explicitly allow it — trades. Every
trade-affecting call defaults to
dry_run: trueuntil you confirm.
Connection
MTContext exposes a single remote Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint per account:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mtcontext": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.mtcontext.com/mcp/v1",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_LICENSE_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Get your real YOUR_LICENSE_KEY from your dashboard
after connecting a terminal — see examples/claude_desktop_config.example.json.
What you can ask it
- "What's the current EURUSD bid and ask?"
- "What's my account balance and open positions?"
- "Run RSI and MACD on GBPUSD, H1."
- "Size a position on XAUUSD risking 1% of my equity with a 30-pip stop."
- "Place a dry-run buy on EURUSD, 0.1 lots, and show me what would happen."

Why not a self-hosted MCP server?
Several open-source MetaTrader MCP servers exist and require installing Python and running a local process yourself, usually MT5-only, with no safety layer beyond what you build. MTContext trades that developer-only setup for a one-file install, MT4 and MT5, and a dry-run-by-default safety model — aimed at traders, not just developers who happen to trade.
