Trade Echoin Claude.
Add Trade Echo as a custom connector in Claude on the web or in Claude Desktop, sign in once with OAuth, and ask Claude about live options flow, dealer gamma levels and dark pool prints.
Connect Claude
Sign-in: OAuth. Claude's connector screen does not take a token, so you approve the connection on Trade Echo instead.
Check your membership
Trade Echo MCP works with a paid Trade Echo membership. Free accounts see a See plans link instead of Allow on the consent screen. If you are not a member yet, pick a plan at tradeecho.com/pricing first.
Open Claude's connector settings
In Claude on the web or in Claude Desktop, open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Custom connectors depend on your Claude plan and workspace settings; if you do not see the option, check with your workspace admin.
Paste the Trade Echo MCP URL
Name the connector Trade Echo and paste the server URL below, then click Add.
https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel
Connect
Click Connect on the new Trade Echo connector. Claude opens a Trade Echo sign-in link.
Approve on Trade Echo
Follow the sign-in link to Trade Echo and sign in with the email on your membership. Review the scopes requested, leave My Account unchecked unless you want this assistant to read your journal, copy trading status and broker holdings, accept the MCP terms, then click Allow.
Ask Claude
Back in Claude, make sure the Trade Echo connector is enabled for the chat and ask a question, for example: Using Trade Echo, what are the key dealer gamma levels on SPY today?
Other ways to connect
Claude Code
Claude Code can use OAuth or a personal access token. For OAuth, add the server without the header line, then run /mcp inside Claude Code and choose Authenticate. For a token, create one on Agent Connections and run:
claude mcp add trade-echo \ --transport http \ https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel \ --header "Authorization: Bearer te_live_YOUR_TOKEN"
Replace te_live_YOUR_TOKEN with a token from Agent Connections. Never commit it or paste it into a chat.
Good to know
- The connection appears on Agent Connections as type oauth. Revoke it there at any time and Claude loses access immediately.
- Claude Desktop can also read a local MCP config with a token header, the same way Cursor does. See the other clients guide.
- Every Trade Echo MCP tool is read-only. Your assistant cannot place orders or change your account through it.
- See every tool your assistant can call in the MCP tool reference, and the rules of use in the MCP terms.
Troubleshooting
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| 401 Unauthorized | The token is missing or mistyped, or the OAuth sign-in was never finished (you saw Connect but did not click Allow). For tokens, check the header reads Authorization: Bearer te_live_... |
| 403 revoked | The connection was revoked on Agent Connections. Connect again (OAuth) or create a new token. |
| 403 subscription_inactive | Your Trade Echo membership is not active, or you signed in with a different email. Renew at tradeecho.com/pricing and the same connection works again. |
| Credit limit reached (429) | You used this hour's credit budget. Wait for the hourly reset or add a bonus credit pack on Agent Connections. |
| Account tools are missing | Journal, copy trading and holdings tools only appear with My Account. Reconnect and check My Account on the consent screen, or create a token with the My Account switch on. |
