MTContext

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

1. Sign up (free tier: read-only market data, no card required).
2. Drag one Expert Advisor file (.ex5 for MT5, .ex4 for MT4 — MT4 support coming soon) onto a chart in your MetaTrader terminal.
3. Copy your ready-made MCP config snippet from the dashboard and paste it into your client's config.
4. 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: true until 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.
