Longbridge MCP Server

Official MCP server for the Longbridge brokerage. 110 tools across real-time quotes, options, order routing, fundamentals, analyst ratings, calendars, price alerts, DCA plans, portfolio analytics and community sharelists — covering US and HK markets. Built with Rust using rmcp and axum.

Features

• 110 MCP tools across 11 categories: quotes, trading, fundamentals, market data, calendars, portfolio, alerts, content, account statements, DCA, and community sharelists
• Stateless architecture -- each request carries a Bearer token forwarded directly to the Longbridge SDK; no server-side sessions or database
• OAuth 2.1 resource metadata compliant with RFC 9728, pointing clients to Longbridge OAuth for authorization
• JSON response transformation -- field names normalized to snake_case, timestamps converted to RFC 3339, internal counter_id values mapped to human-readable symbols
• Prometheus metrics for monitoring tool calls, latency, and errors
• Configurable via CLI arguments or a JSON config file (CLI takes precedence)

Connect from an MCP client

Longbridge operates a hosted endpoint at https://openapi.longbridge.com/mcp, so most users don't need to run their own server — just point your MCP client at it and complete OAuth when prompted. Authorization is auto-discovered via RFC 9728.

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or the equivalent on your OS:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "longbridge": {
      "url": "https://openapi.longbridge.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. On first tool invocation it will open a browser to complete the Longbridge OAuth flow.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http longbridge https://openapi.longbridge.com/mcp

Cursor / Cline / Windsurf / other MCP clients

Point the client at https://openapi.longbridge.com/mcp using transport streamable-http. OAuth is auto-discovered via RFC 9728; no manual token required.

Self-hosting

Prefer running your own instance? Use Docker or build from source.

Docker (recommended)

docker run -p 8443:8443 \
  -v /path/to/certs:/certs:ro \
  ghcr.io/longbridge/longbridge-mcp \
  --bind 0.0.0.0:8443 \
  --base-url https://mcp.example.com \
  --tls-cert /certs/cert.pem \
  --tls-key /certs/key.pem

Important: When deploying to a public network, you must set --base-url to the externally reachable URL of your server (e.g. https://mcp.example.com). This URL is returned in the OAuth protected resource metadata and used by MCP clients to discover the authorization server. If not set, it defaults to http://localhost:{port} which will not work for remote clients.

Build from source

cargo build --release
./target/release/longbridge-mcp

Configure

Create a config file at ~/.longbridge/mcp/config.json (optional):

{
  "bind": "127.0.0.1:8000",
  "base_url": "https://mcp.example.com",
  "log_dir": "/var/log/longbridge-mcp"
}

Configuration

Option	Config Key	CLI Flag	Default	Description
Bind address	bind	--bind	127.0.0.1:8000	HTTP server listen address
Base URL	base_url	--base-url	auto	Public base URL for resource metadata
Log directory	log_dir	--log-dir	(stderr)	Directory for rolling log files
TLS certificate	tls_cert	--tls-cert	(none)	PEM certificate file for HTTPS
TLS private key	tls_key	--tls-key	(none)	PEM private key file for HTTPS

CLI arguments override config file values. The config file is read from ~/.longbridge/mcp/config.json (override with LONGBRIDGE_MCP_CONFIG_DIR).

When tls_cert and tls_key are both set, the server runs HTTPS. Otherwise it falls back to HTTP. The base_url defaults to https://localhost:{port} with TLS or http://localhost:{port} without.

Environment Variables

These are advanced settings — most users do not need to change them. They are primarily useful for connecting to non-production Longbridge environments or debugging SDK internals.

Variable	Default	Description
LONGBRIDGE_MCP_CONFIG_DIR	~/.longbridge/mcp	Config file directory
LONGBRIDGE_HTTP_URL	https://openapi.longbridge.com	Longbridge API base URL (also used for OAuth metadata)
LONGBRIDGE_QUOTE_WS_URL	wss://openapi-quote.longbridge.com/v2	Quote WebSocket endpoint
LONGBRIDGE_TRADE_WS_URL	wss://openapi-trade.longbridge.com/v2	Trade WebSocket endpoint
LONGBRIDGE_LOG_PATH	(none)	SDK internal log path

Authentication

The server expects a Longbridge OAuth access token in the Authorization: Bearer <token> header. On missing or invalid auth, it returns 401 with a WWW-Authenticate header pointing to the protected resource metadata endpoint, which in turn directs MCP clients to the Longbridge OAuth authorization server.

Claude Code integration

The one-liner in Connect → Claude Code gets you connected. Below are the extra commands you'll reach for while developing against this server.

# Hosted — use this unless you have a reason not to
claude mcp add --transport http longbridge https://openapi.longbridge.com/mcp

# Local self-hosted instance (see Self-hosting above)
claude mcp add --transport http longbridge-local http://localhost:8000/mcp

# Inspect
claude mcp list                         # registered servers
claude mcp get longbridge               # config + auth status of one server
claude mcp remove longbridge            # unregister

# Re-trigger OAuth (e.g. after token revocation on the Longbridge side)
claude mcp logout longbridge

On the first tool invocation, Claude Code reads the WWW-Authenticate challenge from the server, fetches /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource (RFC 9728), and opens your browser for the Longbridge OAuth flow. Access tokens are cached per-session and refreshed automatically.
