FAQ from MetaTrader MCP Server

What are the prerequisites?

Python 3.10 or higher, the MetaTrader 5 terminal installed, and a demo or live MT5 trading account (login, password, server name).

What transports or interfaces are supported?

Four options: local STDIO (for Claude Desktop), HTTP REST (for Open WebUI and ChatGPT), WebSocket for real‑time quotes, and SSE (remote MCP server) for connecting from a different machine.

How does the SSE remote server handle security?

The MCP protocol does not include authentication. When exposing the SSE server over a network, use a firewall, reverse proxy with authentication, or an SSH tunnel.

Is there any liability disclaimer?

Yes. Trading financial instruments involves significant risk of loss. The software is provided as‑is; developers accept no liability for trading losses. Users acknowledge they are responsible for all trades and use the software at their own risk.

Can I stream real‑time quotes?

Yes. The WebSocket Quote Server streams live tick data (bid, ask, spread, volume) from MetaTrader 5 to any WebSocket client, with configurable symbols and polling interval.
