Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini to Your ActTrader Account

Traders already ask AI assistants about the markets. Now they can ask about their own ActTrader account too. Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini can connect to an ActTrader trading account through one MCP server, read the account, and place trades after a preview and the trader’s yes.

This post explains what the connection does, how it keeps the trader in control, and how to set it up. The full step-by-step guide for every assistant is on the MCP setup page.

What is MCP?

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open way for AI assistants to connect to outside tools and data. An assistant that supports custom MCP connections can add a server by its address, ask the user to sign in, and then use that server’s tools when the user asks a question.

ActTrader’s server address is the same for every assistant and every broker: https://assistant.acttrader.com/mcp.

What the assistant can do

Once connected, the assistant reads the account the trader signed in with, and trades only when asked:

• Balance, equity, margin level and open profit or loss
• Open positions and pending orders, with stop loss, take profit and trailing stop
• Trade history with the reason each trade closed, and rejected orders
• Trading results: win rate, profit factor, best and worst day, costs
• A risk check: positions without a stop loss, the loss at each stop, exposure per currency, and what a sudden price move would do
• Swap costs of open positions, per night and for the next 7 nights
• Prices, spreads, daily change and price history
• New market or pending orders, changes to stops and limits, closing positions fully or in part, and cancelling pending orders

Questions traders can ask

• How is my account doing right now?
• Which positions have no stop loss?
• What will swap cost me for the next 7 nights?
• Buy 0.05 lots of GBPUSD with a stop loss and take profit.

Built so the trader stays in control

• The assistant asks for the trader’s yes before every trade, and shows a preview first.
• The password is typed only on ActTrader’s sign-in page. The assistant never sees it.
• A sign-in lasts at most 90 days. Then the assistant asks the trader to sign in again.
• Each connection reads one account.

The assistant trades only when asked and given a yes. It does not give financial advice, and prices can change between the moment it reads them and the moment a trader acts.

How to connect

Have the Trader ID, password and server (Live or Demo) ready. In Claude, the setup takes six steps:

1. Open claude.ai and go to Customize, then Connectors.
2. Select + Add, then Add custom connector.
3. Enter the name ActTrader, paste the server URL and select Continue.
4. Keep the settings marked Detected and select Add.
5. Select Connect and sign in with your Trader ID, password and server.
6. In a chat, select +, open Connectors and turn ActTrader on.

ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude Team and Enterprise, Claude Code and Gemini CLI each have their own steps. They are all in the ActTrader MCP setup guide, together with a troubleshooting table and a PDF version to share.

What it means for brokers

The connector works with ActTrader accounts on every broker’s platform, with nothing for the broker to install. Brokers can send their clients straight to the setup page. To see ActAI and the rest of the platform with your team, book a demo.
