  "mcpServers": {
    "af7007-mcp-trader": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "mt5mcp"
      ],

You can run an MCP server that connects to MetaTrader 5 to access market data, place trades, and analyze trading activity. This server exposes a clean interface for AI assistants to interact with MT5, making it easier to build automated trading workflows and data-driven insights.

How to use

To start using the MT5 MCP server, run it in stdio mode for MCP clients like Claude Desktop. This keeps the server ready to communicate with your AI assistant without setting up an HTTP transport.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation are Python 3.11 or higher and the MetaTrader 5 terminal installed on Windows. You also need a MetaTrader 5 account (demo or real). You will also rely on uv as the runtime to manage the MCP server.

How to use the server with an MCP client

Start the MCP server in stdio mode so MCP clients can connect directly. The quickest way is to execute the standard startup command below.

uv run mt5mcp
