MCP server de Pipsocket

Pipsocket MCP server

Connect AI apps to MetaTrader 5 accounts hosted by Pipsocket. Read and trade your accounts, and set up TradingView alert hooks, from Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor or any other app that speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

The server is hosted by Pipsocket: there is nothing to install or run. It's a remote server (Streamable HTTP), so it works from apps on the web as well as desktop and command line apps, and your computer can be off. This repository holds its entry for the MCP Registry (server.json) and the setup steps below.

Full documentation: MCP server, MCP tools and MCP retries and errors.

How it works

• Sign in with OAuth, no API key. You add the URL to your app, sign in to Pipsocket in your browser, and tick what the app may do in each workspace. Nothing to paste.
• One tool, one REST call. The trading tools are the REST API, one tool per call. A tool sends exactly one request with your arguments as they are: nothing is adjusted, split, retried or confirmed on the way, and Pipsocket sets no risk limits of its own.
• The answer is the REST answer: its status, its Retry-After and its body. A 2xx never means filled: the body's state says what happened.
• Trades are safe to retry with the same idempotency_key, by the same rules as the REST API's Idempotency-Key. Choose a new key for each trade you mean to make. Sent again with the same key, a trade returns the first request instead of trading twice. A 202 (pending or unknown) is never sent again: follow it with get_request. A new key means a new trade. Which answers take the same key, which need a new one and which mean stop: MCP retries and errors.

[!WARNING] Pipsocket doesn't ask you to confirm a trade. Tools that change things are marked so, and your app decides whether to ask you first. Accounts may be live: check your app's permission settings before you let it trade.

Connect an app

You need a Pipsocket account with a confirmed email address, in at least one workspace. Then add the server in your app. The dashboard's sign-in page opens in your browser; if you're new, sign up from there, and you can approve once your email address is confirmed.

Claude

On the web or in Claude Desktop:

1. Open Customize, then Connectors. Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
2. Name it Pipsocket, paste https://mcp.pipsocket.com/mcp and click Continue.
3. Under Authentication, choose Sign in now. Under OAuth client, choose Register automatically: Claude's default, its published identity, isn't accepted yet. Leave request headers empty and click Add.
4. Sign in to Pipsocket and approve. In a chat, turn Pipsocket on under +, Connectors.

On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner adds the connector in organization settings, and you click Connect. Claude's own guide: custom connectors using remote MCP.

ChatGPT

On the web:

1. Open Plugins. Click +, then Add custom MCP server.
2. Name it Pipsocket. Under Connection, paste https://mcp.pipsocket.com/mcp.
3. Set authentication to OAuth, read the warning, click I understand and want to continue and Create as a plugin, then install it.
4. Sign in to Pipsocket and approve. In a new chat, type @ and pick Pipsocket.

Your plan and workspace settings decide whether you can add one. On Business, an owner or admin creates it. OpenAI's guide: add a custom MCP server.

Claude Code

Add the server, for all your projects:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user pipsocket https://mcp.pipsocket.com/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code, pick pipsocket and sign in to Pipsocket in your browser. Leave out --scope user to add it to the current project only.

To share it with a project's team, use --scope project, which writes this to .mcp.json in the project's root. Each person signs in with their own Pipsocket account.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipsocket": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.pipsocket.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code's guide: connect Claude Code to tools via MCP.

Cursor

Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project) or .cursor/mcp.json in a project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipsocket": {
      "url": "https://mcp.pipsocket.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

If the file already has an mcpServers object, add the pipsocket entry to it. Cursor signs in with OAuth by itself: sign in to Pipsocket in your browser and approve. Servers can be turned on and off under Customize in Cursor's sidebar. Cursor's guide: Model Context Protocol.

Any other app

1. Find where your app adds a remote MCP server or custom connector, usually in its settings under Connectors, Integrations or MCP.
2. Paste https://mcp.pipsocket.com/mcp. If it asks for a transport, pick Streamable HTTP (or HTTP). If it asks about sign-in, pick OAuth with automatic (dynamic) registration. Add no API key or headers.
3. Connect, sign in to Pipsocket and approve. Then ask it to call list_accounts.

Approve workspaces and scopes

The approval page shows the app's name, marked Unverified app (any app can register itself), and the host its answers go to. Check that host before you allow anything.

Below it is a grid: one row per workspace you're in, one column per scope the app asked for. Tick the workspaces it may use and what it may do in each:

Scope	Lets the app, in that workspace	Who can allow it
Read	Read accounts, positions, orders, history, prices, hooks and alerts. Build alert messages and give you dashboard links.	Owners, admins and members
Trade	Place, change and close trades on every account in the workspace, which may be live. Engage and lift the kill switch. Resend a TradingView alert.	Owners and admins
Manage	Start, stop and restart accounts. Set up TradingView hooks, which trade when alerts arrive, and their symbol mappings.	Owners and admins

• Ticking trade or manage ticks read in that row; unticking read clears the row.
• In a workspace where you're a member, trade and manage are greyed out.
• One connection covers up to 20 workspaces. Workspaces you make later aren't added: connect again to add one.

Then choose Allow. A call the connection can't make is refused with the workspace and scope it needs: connect again from the app and tick that box.

Every tool, the scope it needs and what it calls: MCP tools.

Disconnect an app

Your connections are in the dashboard, under your name at the bottom of the sidebar, in Connected apps. You can stop trade or manage in a workspace, remove a workspace, or Revoke the app everywhere.

Account and hook tools stop at once. Trading tools can keep working for up to 5 minutes, the life of an access token, and that includes lifting the kill switch. Ending a connection doesn't touch what it set up: hooks it made keep trading when alerts arrive, and trades it placed stay open. To stop trading on an account at once, engage the kill switch from the dashboard or the API, and revoke the connection too. Details: connected apps and revoking.

What isn't available over MCP

	Instead
Connecting an account, or changing its MetaTrader 5 password	connect_account_link gives you a link to the dashboard's connect dialog, filled in. The password never goes through the app.
Removing an account	The dashboard
Revealing a hook's URL again	The dashboard (it asks for your password), or rotate_hook_url for a new one
Settling a request whose outcome is unknown	The dashboard
API keys, members, invitations, workspace settings, billing, Connected apps	The dashboard: an app can't widen its own access
Streams	Polling: MCP is request and answer. Use the WebSocket stream from your own code.

For app builders

Everything a standard MCP client needs is discovered from a first, unauthenticated call.

• Protocol: MCP 2026-07-28, and for apps that open with initialize, 2025-11-25 and 2025-06-18. Every request is a POST /mcp with its own access token; there's no session, and answers are JSON (no event streams). 2025-03-26 isn't served. A request with an Origin header is refused, so the server can't be called from a web page.
• Discovery: a call without a token answers 401 with a WWW-Authenticate header naming https://mcp.pipsocket.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp and the scopes read trade manage offline_access. The authorization server is https://app.pipsocket.com/api/auth.
• Registration: dynamic client registration. Client ID metadata documents aren't accepted yet.
• Authorization: authorization code with PKCE (S256), naming resource=https://mcp.pipsocket.com/mcp. The person picks the scopes per workspace.
• Tokens: access tokens live 5 minutes. Refresh tokens live 30 days and rotate on every use, with no grace period: a refresh token used twice ends the connection. Bearer tokens only; DPoP isn't offered.

The full list, including how to handle a failed token request: for app builders.

The registry entry

server.json is the server's entry in the official MCP Registry, under the name com.pipsocket/mcp. CI checks it against the schema it names and with the registry's own validator. PUBLISHING.md has the steps to publish a new version of the entry.

Support
