This independently maintained MetaTrader 5 MCP bridge covers accounts, market data, orders, positions, and trading history. The README identifies version 0.5.1, MIT licensing, and Active Development. It also provides REST API and WebSocket quote interfaces, but live trading carries substantial risk and remote SSE has no built-in authentication.
MetaTrader MCP Server connects AI assistants to MetaTrader 5 for account queries, real-time and historical market data, order execution, position management, and trading-history access. It can run as an MCP server, REST API, or WebSocket quote stream, with stdio, SSE, and streamable-http transports.

Fit and risk
Not for
- Users who do not understand financial-trading risks.
- Users seeking risk-free advice or guaranteed profits.
- Users without a MetaTrader 5 terminal, account credentials, or algorithmic-trading permission.
Required permissions
- Requires a MetaTrader 5 terminal and trading-account login, password, and server name.
- Requires algorithmic trading to be enabled in MetaTrader 5.
- An account with trading permissions can be used to place orders, modify orders, and close positions.
- Remote SSE deployments require network access; the protocol itself does not include authentication.
Risks and side effects
- Financial trading can result in significant losses, and the developers accept no liability for outcomes.
- AI requests can trigger live orders, order modifications, or position closures.
- Exposing SSE over a network without access restrictions may permit unauthorized calls.
- Operations may fail because of live-account conditions, insufficient margin, closed markets, or unavailable symbols.
Troubleshooting
- For connection failures, confirm that the MT5 terminal is running, algorithmic trading is enabled, and credentials are correct.
- For module errors, confirm that metatrader-mcp-server is installed and Python is version 3.10 or higher.
- For order-execution failures, confirm that the symbol exists, the market is open, and sufficient margin is available.
- Use --path to specify terminal64.exe when the terminal is installed in a non-standard location.
- For remote SSE, restrict access with a firewall, an authenticated reverse proxy, or an SSH tunnel.
