Your AI agent,
on the trading desk.
Pipline exposes your cTrader account as Model Context Protocol tools — streaming FX quotes, order routing, position management and hard risk rails — so Claude, Cursor or any MCP client can operate your account with the discipline of a quant desk.
Simulated session · demo account · no real orders
The bridge, end to end
Three hops, one contract. Your model never touches the wire — it speaks MCP, and Pipline translates into broker-grade cTrader calls.
Any MCP host works out of the box. Tool schemas are self-describing, so your model discovers symbols, parameters and limits before it ever places a trade.
Runs on your machine or your own infra. Every call is validated, risk-checked and written to an append-only audit trail before anything leaves the box.
cTrader Open API delivers sub-40ms order acknowledgement from 50+ regulated brokers. Execution quality stays where it belongs — at your broker.

Three commands to live
From install to your first agent-executed order in under five minutes. Demo account by default — real capital only if you say so.
Install the server
One npm package. It runs locally on your machine — nothing is hosted, and no market call leaves your box except to your own broker.
Link your cTrader account
Standard OAuth through your broker. You choose the scopes: read-only for analysis, or trade for execution. No passwords ever touch Pipline.
Point your agent at it
Register Pipline with Claude Desktop, Cursor or any MCP host. All 40+ tools surface automatically with full JSON schemas.
$ npm install -g pipline-mcp
$ pipline link --broker "IC Markets" # OAuth opens in browser
$ claude mcp add pipline -- pipline serve --scope demo

An AI with order authority needs guardrails that don't depend on the AI behaving. Ours run before the model is even consulted.

Before you wire it up
Yes — with any broker that offers cTrader. Pipline connects through the official cTrader Open API, so your funds never leave your broker. Demo accounts work identically and are the default.
Anything that speaks MCP: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, or a custom agent over stdio/SSE. Tool schemas are served dynamically, so new capabilities appear without config changes.
Only if you grant the trade scope on a live account. Every order still passes preflight risk rails — drawdown guards, exposure limits and daily loss caps — and the kill switch revokes access instantly.
On your machine or your own infrastructure. OAuth tokens are stored in your OS keychain and are never transmitted to AI models or third parties. The audit log is local and yours.
Median tool roundtrip is 7.4ms and order placement to broker acknowledgement is typically under 40ms. It's built for intraday and swing workflows — not HFT co-location, and it says so honestly.
No. Pipline is an independent project built on the public cTrader Open API. cTrader is a trademark of Spotware Systems Ltd; we're grateful for the API, but nothing here is endorsed by them.
