# Connect Your Client > Wire Trade Echo MCP into Cursor IDE, native Grok Bot, grok.com, Grok CLI, Claude, ChatGPT, Meta Muse, and Codex. Source: https://tradeecho.com/docs/mcp/connect-clients (updated 2026-09-27) MCP URL: ```text https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel ``` Replace `te_live_YOUR_TOKEN` with the PAT from [Agent Connections](https://app.tradeecho.com/agent-connections). > **Tip: Step-by-step setup guides** > > [Claude](https://tradeecho.com/mcp/claude) · [ChatGPT](https://tradeecho.com/mcp/chatgpt) · [Meta AI (Muse)](https://tradeecho.com/mcp/meta-muse) · [Grok](https://tradeecho.com/mcp/grok) · [Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and other clients](https://tradeecho.com/mcp/other-clients). Overview and FAQ: [tradeecho.com/mcp](https://tradeecho.com/mcp). The server speaks stateless JSON-RPC over HTTP `POST` (JSON responses, no SSE stream, no session id). In clients that ask for a transport type, pick **HTTP** / **Streamable HTTP**, not SSE or stdio. ### Free plan A free Trade Echo account can connect from any client that **signs in to Trade Echo** (grok.com, Grok Bot, Claude, ChatGPT, Meta Muse and others). Personal access tokens need a paid plan, so token setups (Cursor IDE, Grok CLI, Claude Code with a PAT) do not work on the free plan. The consent screen shows the free plan instead of the usual scopes: no My Account switch, no Trading section. - Two tools: `get_daily_echo_brief` (SPX levels and GEX Rating from the morning edition) and `get_morning_levels` (SPY and QQQ). - **3 briefs a day**, reset at 12:00 AM ET. GEX Rating describes the volatility regime, not market direction. - One free connection at a time. Connecting again, from the same client or another one, replaces the old connection. - Every other tool needs a paid plan. On the free plan, those tools answer with a link to plans. --- ## Cursor IDE PAT via `mcp.json` headers. Native **Grok Bot** in Cursor uses OAuth (next section), not this PAT. Add to MCP settings (JSON), or use Cursor's MCP UI and paste equivalent fields: ```json { "mcpServers": { "trade-echo": { "url": "https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer te_live_YOUR_TOKEN" } } } } ``` Then ask Cursor something like: "Using Trade Echo, show unusual call flow on NVDA today." --- ## Grok Bot Full guide: [tradeecho.com/mcp/grok](https://tradeecho.com/mcp/grok) Native **Grok Bot** uses **OAuth**. No PAT and no Bearer header. 1. Ask Grok Bot to connect Trade Echo MCP, or add a custom MCP connector with: ```text https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel ``` 2. Click **Connect**. The client shows an OAuth link. 3. Follow the OAuth link. Sign in to Trade Echo, accept the terms, click **Allow**. 4. Tools work - ask for flow, dealer levels, Discovery noteworthy prints, or session structure (VWAP / ORB). Account tools (`get_my_broker_snapshot`, journal, copy status) appear only if you checked **My Account** on the consent page. Grok Bot signs in with OAuth, so there is no token to paste. The connection shows on Agent Connections as type `oauth`. Revoke anytime. --- ## grok.com Same MCP URL and Trade Echo consent as native Grok Bot. Add a custom MCP connector, paste `https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel`, connect, follow the OAuth link, sign in, click **Allow**. No PAT. --- ## Grok CLI ```bash grok mcp add --transport http trade-echo https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel \ --header "Authorization: Bearer te_live_YOUR_TOKEN" ``` --- ## Claude.ai / Claude Desktop Connectors Full guide: [tradeecho.com/mcp/claude](https://tradeecho.com/mcp/claude) Claude's custom connectors use **OAuth** (Settings → Connectors). They do **not** take a PAT in the connector UI: 1. Open **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector** (claude.ai web or Claude Desktop). 2. Paste the MCP URL: ```text https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel ``` 3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**. Follow the OAuth link, sign in, accept the terms, click **Allow**. 4. Ask Claude for flow, dealer levels, or a futures session brief. The connection shows on Agent Connections as type `oauth`. Revoke anytime. Optional: Claude Desktop can instead use a local MCP JSON config with an `Authorization: Bearer` PAT header, same as Cursor IDE. --- ## Claude Code With a PAT: ```bash claude mcp add trade-echo \ --transport http \ https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel \ --header "Authorization: Bearer te_live_YOUR_TOKEN" ``` Or with OAuth: add the server without the `--header` line, then run `/mcp` inside Claude Code and choose **Authenticate**. --- ## Codex ```bash codex mcp add trade-echo --url https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel ``` Set the bearer token in MCP settings, or: ```bash export TRADE_ECHO_MCP_PAT="te_live_YOUR_TOKEN" ``` Point `bearer_token_env_var` at `TRADE_ECHO_MCP_PAT` if your Codex MCP config supports it. --- ## ChatGPT Full guide: [tradeecho.com/mcp/chatgpt](https://tradeecho.com/mcp/chatgpt) OAuth - no PAT. 1. In ChatGPT, open **Settings → Apps & connectors** (or Plugins) and enable **Developer mode**. 2. Add a custom MCP app and paste: ```text https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel ``` 3. ChatGPT shows an OAuth link. Follow it, sign in to Trade Echo, accept the terms, click **Allow**. 4. Ask ChatGPT to use Trade Echo MCP for flow or dealer levels. The connection shows on Agent Connections as type `oauth`. Revoke anytime. --- ## Meta Muse Full guide: [tradeecho.com/mcp/meta-muse](https://tradeecho.com/mcp/meta-muse) Muse builds a **custom connector** for Trade Echo itself. You tell it where the server is, and it handles the setup. 1. In Muse, ask: ```text Connect Trade Echo using the MCP server at https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel. If you need a Client ID, use trade-echo-mcp. ``` 2. Sign in when Muse asks. You have two options: - **OAuth:** follow the sign-in link, sign in to Trade Echo, accept the terms, and click **Allow**. If Muse asks for a **Client ID**, enter `trade-echo-mcp` exactly. It is not your email or username. - **PAT:** create a token on [Agent Connections](https://app.tradeecho.com/agent-connections). Enter it **only in Muse's secure credential prompt**. Never paste it into the chat. 3. Ask Muse for flow, dealer levels, dark pool prints, or a futures session brief. The connection shows on Agent Connections as **Muse**. You can revoke it anytime. Your Muse login and your Trade Echo login don't need to use the same email. ### Muse Code Add Trade Echo to `~/.config/muse/settings.json`: ```json { "schema_version": 1, "mcp_servers": { "trade-echo": { "transport": "streamable_http", "url": "https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer te_live_YOUR_TOKEN" } } } } ``` --- ## Verify the connection In any connected agent, ask: > List Trade Echo MCP tools. You should see tools such as `get_option_flow`, `get_noteworthy_flow` (Discovery noteworthy prints), `get_breaking_news` (Discovery Breaking News tab), `get_session_structure`, `get_dealer_edge_data`, `get_dark_pool_data`, and `get_futures_session_levels`, depending on the scopes you granted. Journal and holdings tools appear only with **My Account**. If you get **401 Unauthorized**: - Token missing, mistyped, or revoked - OAuth was never completed (Connect shown, but consent / Allow not finished) - Wrong header format (`Authorization: Bearer te_live_...`) If you get **403** `subscription_inactive`: - Your Trade Echo membership is not active. Renew at [tradeecho.com/pricing](https://tradeecho.com/pricing); the same connection works again once it is. If you get **credit limit** errors: - Wait for the hourly reset, or buy bonus credits on Agent Connections --- ## Next - [Example prompts](https://tradeecho.com/docs/mcp/examples) - [Robinhood Agentic](https://tradeecho.com/docs/mcp/robinhood-agentic)
