MCP Server Overview

QuantConnect/mcp-server MCP server connects local AI clients such as Claude Desktop to the QuantConnect cloud API. It exposes tools for managing projects and files, compiling and backtesting algorithms, running optimizations, handling collaborators, and controlling live deployments. The Dockerized server uses a QuantConnect user ID and API token, with optional agent naming for request tracking. This repository is deprecated; QuantConnect recommends using the MCP server embedded in VS Code instead.
