One of the key components of this platform is the UBOS Asset Marketplace, a hub for pre-built AI tools, integrations, and resources that streamline the development and deployment of sophisticated AI solutions.

Within the UBOS Asset Marketplace, you’ll find the MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server for Tradovate, a critical asset for those looking to integrate the Tradovate trading platform with AI assistants like Claude Desktop. This server acts as a bridge, enabling AI models to access and manage Tradovate trading accounts through natural language interactions. It’s designed to simplify complex trading operations, providing a secure and efficient way to automate trading strategies and gain real-time insights.

What is an MCP Server?

Before diving into the specifics of the Tradovate MCP server, it’s essential to understand the role of an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs). In essence, an MCP server acts as an intermediary, translating natural language requests from AI models into actionable commands for external systems.

Key Benefits of Using an MCP Server:

• Standardized Communication: MCP ensures consistent communication between AI models and external applications, regardless of the underlying technology.
• Enhanced Context: By providing AI models with access to real-time data and external tools, MCP enables more informed and context-aware decision-making.
• Simplified Integration: MCP simplifies the process of integrating AI models with existing systems, reducing the need for custom code and complex configurations.
• Increased Security: MCP servers can implement security measures to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access.

Available Tools:

The MCP Server for Tradovate provides a rich set of tools that can be accessed through natural language commands. These tools are categorized into four main areas:

1. Authentication:

   • authenticate: Connects to the Tradovate API. No parameters are required. This establishes a secure connection, allowing the AI agent to interact with the Tradovate platform.

2. Account Management:

   • get_accounts: Lists all trading accounts associated with the authenticated user. This provides the AI agent with a comprehensive view of available accounts.
   • get_positions: Retrieves current trading positions for all accounts. The AI agent can use this information to assess risk and adjust trading strategies.
   • get_risk_limits: Fetches risk management settings for a specific account. Requires the account_id parameter. This allows the AI agent to monitor and adhere to predefined risk parameters.
   • set_risk_limits: Configures risk management settings for a specified account. Requires parameters such as account_id, day_max_loss, max_drawdown, max_position_qty, and trailing_stop. This empowers the AI agent to dynamically adjust risk parameters based on market conditions.

3. Trading Operations:

   • place_order: Submits a new order to the Tradovate platform. Requires parameters such as account_id, contract_id, order_type, quantity, and time_in_force. An optional price parameter is available for limit orders. This functionality enables the AI agent to execute trades based on predefined strategies.
   • cancel_order: Cancels an existing order. Requires the order_id parameter. This allows the AI agent to quickly respond to changing market conditions.
   • get_fills: Retrieves fill information for a specific order, requiring the order_id parameter. This provides the AI agent with detailed execution data.

4. Market Data:

   • get_contracts: Lists available contracts. This enables the AI agent to discover tradable instruments.
   • get_market_data: Fetches real-time market data for a specified contract, requiring the contract_id parameter. This provides the AI agent with up-to-date pricing information.
   • get_historical_data: Retrieves historical price data for a contract over a specified time period. Requires parameters such as contract_id, start_time, end_time, and interval. This empowers the AI agent to perform technical analysis and identify trends.
