Model Context Protocol

Platforms and APIs

MCP is an open standard for connecting an AI application to external data sources, tools and workflows.

Explanation

The Model Context Protocol project's introduction describes MCP as an open standard so an AI application can use outside systems, rather than only the text in its own prompt. A trading MCP server is one such connection. The software catalogue's AI and MCP section records servers whose own pages say they can read account data or send orders. An agent that is allowed to send orders can change the connected account. MCP is not a type of FCA permission, and connecting one is not financial advice.

This page explains published terms for education and reference. It is not financial, investment, tax, or trading advice, and it does not recommend a firm, product, or strategy.
