How it works

This service lets an AI model — Claude, or any other MCP-compatible client — read live prices from your MT5 account and place trades on your behalf, while your broker login never leaves your own computer.

The short version

You rent the EA on the MQL5 Market and run it in your own MT5 terminal. It quietly checks in with our server every second or two. When your AI model asks for something — a price chart, an account status, a trade — that request is handed to your EA the next time it checks in, your EA carries it out locally in your terminal, and the result is sent back. Your broker password is never sent to us; the EA already has it because it's running inside your own logged-in terminal.

Step 1 — Rent the EA on the MQL5 Market

The EA itself is distributed through the MQL5 Market, not from this site — this keeps signing up here completely free. Renting gets you a copy of the EA that runs for as long as your rental is active; MQL5 handles billing and licensing entirely on their end.

Find the EA on the MQL5 Market and rent it (monthly).
In MT5, open the Market tab and download your rented copy.
Drag it onto any chart — it isn't tied to that chart's symbol; it can act on any symbol you ask for.

Step 2 — Get your (free) connection credentials from this site

Separately from renting the EA, sign up here (free) to connect it to an AI model. Your dashboard shows two values:

MCP Token — used by your AI client (Claude, etc.) to authenticate to this server.
EA Key — used only by your own MT5 terminal, to authenticate itself when it checks in.

These are separate on purpose: your AI client never needs to see your EA Key, and your terminal never needs to see your MCP Token. Neither has anything to do with your MQL5 rental — that's a completely separate system that only controls whether the EA runs at all.

In MT5: Tools → Options → Expert Advisors, check "Allow WebRequest for listed URL", and add https://mcp-server-1-dqq2.onrender.com
In the EA's inputs (on the chart you attached it to), set EAKey to the value from your dashboard.

Once running, you can confirm it's working by asking your AI model something simple — see the example below.

Step 3 — Connect your AI model

Where you paste your MCP Token and this server's MCP URL (https://mcp-server-1-dqq2.onrender.com/mcp) depends on which client you use:

Sample code

If you're building your own client rather than using an existing one, here's a minimal working example using the official mcp Python package:

    import asyncio
    from mcp import ClientSession
    from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client

    MCP_URL = "https://mcp-server-1-dqq2.onrender.com/mcp"
    MCP_TOKEN = "your-mcp-token-from-the-dashboard"

    async def main():
        headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {MCP_TOKEN}"}

        async with streamablehttp_client(MCP_URL, headers=headers) as (read, write, _):
            async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
                await session.initialize()

                tools = await session.list_tools()
                print("Available tools:", [t.name for t in tools.tools])

                result = await session.call_tool(
                    "get_price_series",
                    {"symbol": "EURUSD", "timeframe": "M15", "count": 5},
                )
                for block in result.content:
                    print(getattr(block, "text", block))


    asyncio.run(main())

Requires pip install mcp.

Claude Code (command line):

claude mcp add --transport http -s user mt5 https://mcp-server-1-dqq2.onrender.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_TOKEN"

Claude (claude.ai) and Claude Desktop:

Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, enter the MCP URL, then look for a "Request headers" section to add Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_TOKEN. Note: this header field is a newer, gradually-rolling-out feature — if you don't see it yet, Claude Code (above) is the reliable path in the meantime.

Create bots without coding

You can also create your trading bot without coding - just configure it and connect it with OpenRouter.

Other MCP clients (Cursor, etc.):

Most support pasting a server URL and a Bearer token directly in their connection settings — look for wherever the client lets you add a remote/custom MCP server.

Trying it out

Once connected, you can ask your AI model things like:

"What's the status of my MT5 connection?"
"Show me the last 20 M15 candles for EURUSD."
"Buy 0.1 lots of EURUSD with a stop loss at 1.0750."

The model calls the appropriate tool, which queues a command for your EA. As long as your MT5 terminal is running with the EA attached, you should see a response within a couple of seconds.

What if my terminal is closed?

Commands simply wait for your EA to check in. If your terminal isn't running at all, requests will time out after a short wait with a clear message — nothing gets silently lost or run against the wrong account.
