Best for
  • Users who need AI-assisted access to an Interactive Brokers account
  • Automated trading or headless environments
  • Users who need account statements or historical data through Flex Queries
  • Scenarios needing clean, structured web context fed to an AI assistant
  • Users already on the Firecrawl platform who want to call its scraping capability directly via MCP
Not for
  • Users requiring an official Interactive Brokers integration
  • Users seeking financial advice
  • Users unwilling to handle sensitive financial data or trading risk locally
  • Simple static-page scraping where you don't want to depend on a third-party API and incur call costs
  • Sites that explicitly disallow automated access (robots.txt)
Required permissions
  • An Interactive Brokers account is required; paper and live trading accounts are supported by the documentation.
  • Browser mode requires authorization through Interactive Brokers OAuth.
  • Headless mode requires IB_USERNAME and IB_PASSWORD_AUTH.
  • Placing orders requires read-only mode to be disabled; paper trading can be enabled with IB_PAPER_TRADING.
  • Flex Query features require IB_FLEX_TOKEN.
  • Requires a Firecrawl API key to call; cost and quota are governed by the Firecrawl account
  • firecrawl_agent/firecrawl_interact perform automated browser interaction, which may trigger login or form-submission flows on the target site
Risks and side effects
  • The server is unofficial and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Interactive Brokers.
  • The project is in Alpha state and may not work perfectly.
  • Trading involves substantial risk of loss; the documentation recommends testing with paper trading first.
  • The software handles sensitive financial data and is intended to run locally rather than on public servers.
  • Credentials and TOTP secrets must be stored securely and never committed to version control.
  • The tool is for automation only and is not financial advice.
  • Bulk crawl/map tools can generate significant request volume against a target site — respect the site's rate limits and terms of service
  • firecrawl_agent's interactive action chain is longer — define task boundaries clearly before running it to avoid accidentally triggering actions on a sensitive site
