MetaTrader MCP Server is an open-source Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants trade through the MetaTrader 5 platform using natural language. Published on GitHub with about 830 stars under the MIT license and updated in 2026, it is available on PyPI for quick installation.
The server bridges assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT to a running MetaTrader 5 terminal. Instead of clicking through the trading interface, a user can ask the assistant to show an account balance, fetch market data, open a position such as a small EUR/USD lot, or close profitable positions, and the assistant carries out the corresponding operations through MCP tools. A WebSocket quote server is included for streaming prices. The project documentation carries a prominent risk disclaimer, and trading through it involves real financial risk.
Beyond basic order handling, the project includes a trading assistant skill aimed at Claude Code and Claude Desktop users, plus a WebSocket quote server for streaming live prices into the assistant’s context. Typical requests the documentation demonstrates include checking balances, reviewing open positions, and acting on them in plain language. Setup requires a running MetaTrader 5 terminal for the server to connect to, and the maintainers document configuration options for more advanced deployments and development use.
The server is free and open source under the MIT license. You will still need your own MetaTrader 5 setup and brokerage account, and any trading activity is funded entirely by you.
It is aimed at algorithmic and discretionary traders who already use MetaTrader 5 and want to experiment with AI-assisted workflows, as well as developers building MCP-based finance tools. Beginners should note the project’s own warnings about trading risk.
