This server is remote so you don't need to run anything locally to connect. Just point your MCP-compatible agent platform to the URL above.

Getting Started

1. First, create an account at https://tradeit.app.
2. Sign up for the Pro plan's free trial.
3. Connect your brokerage of choice.

Connecting

1. Connect your MCP client to https://mcp.tradeit.app/mcp or https://mcp.tradeit.app/sse.
2. Authenticate through the browser-based OAuth flow.
3. You're now ready to start trading!

Tools

MCP tools connect your agent to linked brokerages: search symbols, list accounts, create draft orders, then execute only after confirmation.

Safety model (draft-first)

Trades start as draft orders and are not sent to the broker until the user clearly confirms.

Intended flow:

1. Call create_trade or create_options_trade → you get a draft with a trade_id.
2. Show the user the full order details and how to proceed.
3. Call execute_trade only when the user explicitly asks to execute, confirm, or place the trade.
4. Do not call execute_trade automatically or immediately after creating a draft.

After creating a draft, make sure the user knows they can place the order when ready (e.g. via your client’s Execute control, if available).

Optional steps before creating a draft:

• search_assets — confirm ticker and context.
• get_accounts — pick the right account_id when the user cares which account to use.

Execution flow:

User requests trade
       ↓
[Optional] search_assets — confirm ticker, get current price
       ↓
[Optional] get_accounts — identify correct account_id
       ↓
create_trade / create_options_trade → draft with trade_id, status: "draft"
       ↓
Show draft details; user confirms
       ↓
execute_trade(trade_id)
       ↓
Status: "placed" or "failed" (with details)

Account / order defaults: If the user omits amount, account, or order type, Trade It applies their default amount, default account, and market orders where applicable. If auto-execute is enabled in Trade It settings, behavior may skip the manual execute step in some setups; when in doubt, still treat execution as user-confirmed.

search_assets

Look up a stock or crypto by ticker or name.

• Parameter: query (string) — e.g. "TSLA", "Tesla", "bitcoin".
• Returns: Price, ticker, exchange, asset type, and related metadata.

Example:

{ "query": "TSLA" }

Natural-language examples: "How's Apple doing?" · "What's the price of TSLA?"

get_accounts

List all linked brokerage accounts (and use this flow when the user wants to connect a new brokerage).

• Parameters: none.
• Returns: Accounts with id, name, brokerage, balance, available_cash. Use account.id as account_id in trade calls when a specific account is required.

Natural-language example: "Show my accounts."
