Live Trade Echo data,inside your AI assistant.
Trade Echo MCP connects Claude, ChatGPT, Meta AI (Muse) and other MCP clients to live Trade Echo market data. Ask about options flow, dealer gamma levels and dark pool prints in plain language. Read-only, and it never places orders.
What Trade Echo MCP is
https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intelThe Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call tools on other services. Trade Echo MCP is our server for it: once you connect it, your assistant can pull the same live data you see in the Trade Echo dashboard and answer with real tickers, strikes, premiums and levels instead of guesses from its training data.
- Market intel: OptionFlow, Discovery noteworthy flow, DealerEdge gamma levels, dark pool prints, AlgoEdge signals, News Edge, the Futures Echo Map, BT Cloud and session structure, options chains, index snapshots, macro events and SEC filings.
- Your account (optional): your own journal stats, copy trading status and broker holdings, only if you turn on My Account.
- How it runs: Streamable HTTP (JSON responses, no SSE stream). Sign-in is OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, or a personal access token from Agent Connections.
Example questions
Name the ticker and the time window. Your assistant picks the tools.
- Using Trade Echo, pull unusual options flow on NVDA today and summarize the largest call and put premiums.
- What are today's top Discovery noteworthy prints, and which have the largest premiums?
- Get the dealer gamma levels for SPY. Where are the flip point and the largest walls?
- Show the biggest dark pool prints in TSLA this session.
- Run a multi-signal scan on PLTR and give me a short bull case, bear case and invalidation.
- Which macro events are on the calendar for the next two sessions?
- Give me an overnight ES brief from the Futures Echo Map.
- Summarize the highest-urgency breaking news from the last 6 hours.
What it can and cannot do
It can
- Read live and recent Trade Echo market data on request.
- Filter by ticker, date, time window, premium, expiration and more.
- Combine several signals for one ticker in a single scan.
- Read your own account data, only with My Account turned on.
It cannot
- Place, change or cancel orders, or move money.
- Change your Trade Echo settings, follows or alerts.
- See other members' data or accounts.
- Give personalized investment advice.
Scopes and tools
Tools are grouped into scopes. A connection only sees the tools its scopes allow. The default grant covers every market intel scope except SEC filings. My Account is always a separate opt-in.

Every tool, its parameters and its credit cost: MCP tool reference.
Plan and typical limits
MCP access is included with a paid Trade Echo membership at no extra cost. See pricing. Free accounts cannot connect.
Each tool call costs credits (1 to 4 per call; heavier tools like options chains and filings cost more). Budgets refill every hour. Typical limits:
| Budget | Typical limit |
|---|---|
| Per connection, per hour | 100 credits |
| Per member, per hour (all connections) | 150 credits |
| Burst, per minute | 15 credits |
These are typical limits, not guarantees, and they can change. If you hit one, wait for the hourly reset or add an optional bonus credit pack on Agent Connections.
Security and privacy
- OAuth sign-in. Claude, ChatGPT and Muse connect with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE. You sign in on Trade Echo and approve the scopes; the assistant never sees your Trade Echo password.
- Tokens stay private. Personal access tokens are shown once. Treat them like passwords: never paste one into a chat, a shared file or a public repo.
- Revoke anytime. Every connection is listed on Agent Connections. Revoking stops it immediately.
- Least access by default. Account data needs the separate My Account opt-in, and no tool can trade or change your account.
- What we log. We record each connection and each tool call (which tool, when, the requesting IP and how long it took), not the content of requests or responses. Details are in section 3.2 of the Privacy Policy.
Using MCP means agreeing to the MCP terms of use.
Setup guides
Claude
OAuth. Claude's connector screen does not take a token, so you approve the connection on Trade Echo instead.
ChatGPT
OAuth. ChatGPT does not accept a pasted token for MCP apps, so you approve the connection on Trade Echo instead.
Meta AI (Muse)
OAuth through a custom connector. Muse can also take a personal access token, but only in its secure credential prompt.
Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients
Personal access token sent as an Authorization: Bearer header, or OAuth 2.1 with PKCE for clients that support it.
For developers and directories
A machine-readable server card with the endpoint, transport, OAuth discovery URLs, tools and these guides is published at https://tradeecho.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json (also at /.well-known/mcp.json and listed in /.well-known/ai-catalog.json). Every tool with its parameters is in the tool reference and the public JSON catalog.
Common questions
What is Trade Echo MCP?
Trade Echo MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants read live Trade Echo market data: options flow, Discovery noteworthy prints, dealer gamma (GEX) levels, dark pool prints, Algo Edge signals, news, futures and market data. You connect it once, then ask your assistant questions in plain language.
Which AI assistants can connect?
Claude (web, Desktop and Claude Code), ChatGPT, Meta AI (Muse), Cursor, Codex, Grok and any MCP client that supports remote HTTP servers with OAuth or a Bearer token. Claude, ChatGPT and Muse sign in with OAuth; editors and command-line agents usually use a personal access token.
Can my AI assistant place trades through Trade Echo MCP?
No. Every tool is read-only. Trade Echo MCP cannot place, change or cancel orders, move money, or change your account settings.
Do I need a paid Trade Echo plan?
Yes. MCP access is part of a paid Trade Echo membership. Free accounts are refused with a subscription error, and the consent screen shows a See plans link instead of Allow. If your membership lapses, existing connections stop working until it is active again.
How many tools does my assistant get?
18 tools with the default market intel grant, 20 if the connection also includes SEC filings (the All market intel profile on Agent Connections), and 23 if you also turn on My Account. The full list is on the tool reference page.
Can the assistant see my trades or brokerage account?
Only if you allow it. Account data sits behind a separate My Account permission that is off by default. With it on, 3 extra tools can read your own trade journal stats, copy trading status and linked broker holdings. The assistant provider will then see those numbers in your conversation.
How do I disconnect an assistant?
Open Agent Connections in the Trade Echo web app and revoke the connection. It stops working immediately for every tool call. Removing the connector inside the assistant alone does not revoke Trade Echo's side, so revoke there too.
Is the data financial advice?
No. Trade Echo MCP returns market data and analytics for your own research. It is not personalized investment advice, and your assistant's summary of it is not either. Check the live dashboard before you act on anything.
Ask your assistant about live flow.
MCP is included with every paid Trade Echo plan. Pick a plan, then follow the setup guide for your assistant.
