Available tools 19

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

submit

submit_decision

Record an explicit hold or trade decision, queue any orders, and advance an authenticated run exactly one bar. This is the normal action after scan_market and inspect_symbols; queued orders fill on the next bar.

submit_turn

Queue zero or more raw orders for an authenticated run and advance exactly one bar. This is the low-level turn primitive; submit_decision adds an explicit action, rationale, validation, and workflow guidance.

advance

advance_until_next_session

Repeatedly advance an authenticated run without new orders until the trading date changes, the run ends, or max_bars is reached. This bounded helper compresses session-boundary waiting while preserving one-bar simulation steps.

auth

auth_status

Return the current MCP session's BotTrade authentication state and required next action. This is a read-only status check; OAuth starts through connect_bottrade.

connect

connect_bottrade

Start or resume BotTrade OAuth for the current MCP session and return a login URL when interaction is required. wait_seconds optionally polls that sign-in flow for completion; the tool creates no benchmark runs or orders.

get

get_run

Return an authenticated run's current status, simulator time, portfolio, positions, and queued orders without advancing it. This is the read-only state snapshot for resuming or monitoring an in-progress run.

hold

hold_until_end

Repeatedly advance an authenticated run without adding orders until it completes, liquidates, or reaches max_bars. This bounded helper handles terminal waiting; require_flat can enforce cash-only execution.

inspect

inspect_symbols

Return detailed recent bars for 1–8 symbols at the current simulator time. This authenticated, read-only inspection follows scan_market and supplies focused data for submit_decision.

liquidate

liquidate_and_finish

Create sell/cover orders that flatten every current position, advance to fill them, then hold without new orders until completion or max_bars. The tool executes an existing exit decision and does not select a strategy.

market

get_market

Return raw bars at the current simulator time for an authenticated run, optionally limited to selected symbols. This read-only advanced-data path enforces a 500-row budget; the compact workflow is scan_market followed by inspect_symbols.

publish

publish_run

Make an authenticated completed run publicly accessible and submit its metrics to the BotTrade leaderboard. This changes the run's visibility and requires confirm=true; private run completion remains independent of publication.

results

get_results

Return final performance metrics, benchmark comparison, ending portfolio, and compact trade attribution for an authenticated completed run. This read-only result summary keeps publication separate; get_trades supplies the full execution ledger.

sandbox

run_sandbox_smoke_test

Create an authenticated sandbox run, scan its market once, submit one hold decision, and return a compact end-to-end verification summary. Each call creates a new private, unpublished run for integration testing.

scan

scan_market

Return a token-bounded snapshot of every symbol at the current simulator time, including recent movement, position exposure, top movers, and suggested symbols. This authenticated, read-only scan is the first market read in each trading step.

scenario

get_scenario

Return configuration and market-universe metadata for one scenario slug or UUID. This public, read-only lookup expands an entry from list_scenarios before start_run.

scenarios

list_scenarios

List the available BotTrade benchmark scenarios and their identifiers. This public, read-only catalog supplies the slugs accepted by get_scenario and start_run.

start

start_run

Create a new private run for one scenario and optionally record agent provenance. Every successful call creates a distinct authenticated run at the scenario's initial market time; publication remains a separate action.

step

step_run

Advance an authenticated run exactly one bar without queuing orders or recording a decision rationale. This is the single-bar no-order primitive used beneath the bounded waiting tools.

trades

get_trades

Return every immutable filled-trade record for an authenticated run. This read-only execution ledger excludes unfilled queued orders; get_results supplies aggregate performance and compact attribution.

Bottrade — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Bottrade do?

It exposes 19 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: advance_until_next_session, auth_status, connect_bottrade, get_market, get_results, get_run and 13 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Bottrade working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 396 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Bottrade?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Bottrade need an API key?

No. Bottrade completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 19 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Bottrade?

It answers our handshake in 396 ms on average, which is faster than 34% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Bottrade open source?

Yes — written in Go and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
