MCP for Claude and Cursor
Connect Claude (web, Code, or Desktop) or Cursor to your TradeStar data. Each client connects a different way, pick yours below.
Ask Claude (or Cursor) about today's market edges directly, no code, no API scripting. How you connect depends on which Claude you're using, they don't all work the same way, so pick the right tab below rather than following the wrong client's steps.
What it can see
By default: market-wide statistical data only, the same Market Edge reports and news/economic calendar available through the Edge API. It cannot see your trades, account, or any personal data unless you explicitly turn on personal-data access (see below), and it can never take any action in TradeStar.
Connecting
claude.ai connects over OAuth, not a pasted key, there's no config block to copy for this one.
https://console.tradestar.app/api/mcp. Open the Edge API panel (any Market Edge report's API chip) and use its Copy button next to MCP URL if you don't want to type it.Don't see a 'Request headers' option and it's not working?
You don't need one for this flow, OAuth handles authentication automatically. If Add custom connector only shows an OAuth Client ID/Secret field and the connection still fails, contact support, that's an account-level rollout issue on Anthropic's side, not something to work around on your end.
Cursor and any other MCP client that supports a Bearer-authenticated remote server follow the same shape as Claude Code above: URL https://console.tradestar.app/api/mcp, header Authorization: Bearer <your key>.
Things to ask it
- "What's the strongest edge on Gold right now, across every report?" (uses
get_strongest_edges, ranks all of them at once instead of you picking a report first) - "What's happening in the live session right now?" (the live in-session read, not history, includes the pre-IB reversion signal once it's available for the day)
- "Should I expect a trend day today, or is it more likely to fade?"
- "What's the economic calendar look like for the next 24 hours?"
- "Compare the opening range breakout stats for Gold vs the Nasdaq."
Personal data (optional, separate consent)
By default your MCP client only sees market-wide data, the same as the base Edge API. To let it read your own trades, Star Score, prop accounts, and journal, open any Market Edge report, click the API chip, and turn on MCP personal data access in that same panel. It's revocable any time and separate from the market-tier key itself.
What personal access adds
Your own win rate, trades, R-multiples, Star Score, rule adherence, strategy performance, prop-firm accounts and net extraction after fees, journal entries, and missed trades. It still can't take any action: no trade logging, no settings changes.
Things to ask it (once personal access is on)
- "How am I actually performing this month?"
- "Am I exploiting Gold's real edge, or trading against it?"
- "What's my single biggest leak right now?"
- "What's my real profitability after every prop-firm fee?"
- "How many of my missed trades would've actually won?"
- "Run my weekly review." (uses the built-in
weekly-reviewprompt)
Disconnecting
For claude.ai's OAuth connection, click Disconnect all next to Claude custom connector (OAuth) in the same API chip panel, this revokes every app connected that way at once. For Claude Code, Desktop, or Cursor, remove the server from that client's own config, or rotate/revoke your Edge API key from the same panel to cut off every Bearer-key client immediately.
Rate limits
MCP calls share the same rate limit as your personal Edge API key, see the Edge API for the current limits.
Edge API
A personal key, five endpoints, and a full interactive reference that's always current, since it's generated from the same code the API runs on.
Market Edge
Pre-computed probability reports from years of historical session data, gap fill, ranges, opens, and more, across Gold and the major US indices.
