A project guide for an MCP server, a program that lets AI assistants call MetaTrader 5 trading operations through defined tools. MetaTrader 5 is trading software that runs here only on Windows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when installing, running, formatting, linting, or testing this MetaTrader 5 integration.
Why use it?
It gives developers the project’s setup commands, required credentials, code structure, formatting rules, and test commands in one place.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is amirkhonov/metatrader5-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on metatrader5-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything metatrader5-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

metatrader5-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What This Project Is

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that wraps the MetaTrader 5 Python API, exposing MT5 trading operations as MCP tools for AI assistants. MT5 only runs on Windows — the MetaTrader5 Python package will not work on other platforms.

Commands

# Install (development)
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pip install -e .

# Run server (credentials via CLI args)
metatrader5-mcp --login 12345 --password secret --server MetaQuotes-Demo --path "C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5\terminal64.exe"

# Run server (credentials via .env file — KEY=VALUE format required)
# MT5_LOGIN, MT5_PASSWORD, MT5_SERVER, MT5_PATH, LOG_LEVEL
metatrader5-mcp

# Format
python -m black .

# Lint/format via pre-commit (uses black, ruff, isort)
pre-commit run --all-files

# Tests
python -m pytest tests/ -v
python -m pytest tests/test_utils.py -v        # single file
python -m pytest tests/ -k "test_mt5_to_python" # single test

Architecture

Core Pattern: Side-Effect Tool Registration

utils.py creates a single shared mcp = FastMCP("metatrader5-mcp") instance. All tools_*.py modules register their tools by importing this instance and using @mcp.tool decorators. The only purpose of the imports in main.py is to trigger this registration:

from . import tools_connection  # noqa: F401  ← side-effect import

Adding a new tool means: (1) add a Pydantic schema to schemas.py, (2) implement the tool function with @mcp.tool in the appropriate tools_*.py, (3) import mcp from .utils. The tool is automatically available — no registration list to update.

Tool Parameter Schemas (schemas.py)

All tools that take parameters use Pydantic models inheriting from ParamsBase (which enforces extra="forbid"). Optional MT5 parameters default to None and are stripped via filter_none() before being passed to MT5. This lets MT5 use its own defaults rather than receiving None values.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
