Connect your own AI (MCP)
Last updated: July 2026
Bring your own AI assistant to etrink. Using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a client like Claude Desktop connects with your API key and can manage your accounts and place orders — your AI, your decision. etrink stays the secure infrastructure; it does not give investment advice.
What your AI can do
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_accounts | List your MT5 accounts with status, balance and equity |
get_positions | Open positions for an account |
place_order | Buy / sell / close on a specific account (same safety guards as webhooks) |
open_account | Create a new MT5 account and instance |
get_recent_signals | Your recent webhook signal events |
Setup
- In your panel open API / MCP and create an API key (pick an expiry or “unlimited”). Copy it — it's shown once.
- Install the etrink MCP server (Node 20+). The panel shows a ready-to-paste config with your key filled in.
- Add it to your MCP client. For Claude Desktop, edit
claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"etrink": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "tsx", "<etrink>/services/mcp/src/index.ts"],
"env": {
"ETRINK_API_BASE": "https://api.etrink.com",
"ETRINK_API_KEY": "etrk_mcp_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}- Restart the client. The five tools become available to your assistant.
You are in control. The AI acts with your key and your instructions. Orders go through the same guards as TradingView webhooks (plan/entitlement, symbol allow-list, volume cap, idempotency). Keep your key secret; revoke it anytime from the panel. etrink provides infrastructure only and is not investment advice.
Why bring your own AI?
- No lock-in — use whichever assistant you trust.
- No hidden “signal advice” from us — the decisions are yours or your AI's.
- Keys can be scoped with an expiry and revoked instantly.
