VibeTrader

Build trading bots by describing them, backtest them, and run them around the clock, from your agent.

Setup

1. Create a key at https://vibetrader.markets/settings → API keys. Choose what it may do:

   • See: your bots, portfolio, trades, signals and backtests. Always included.
   • Manage bots and signals: create, edit, start, pause and delete paper bots and signal bots, and record trades you made for a signal.
   • Place orders and run live bots: buy and sell at your connected brokerage, and create or start bots that trade real money.

2. Put the key in your OpenClaw config (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json). The skill reads it from the environment:

   {
     "skills": { "entries": { "vibetrader": { "env": { "VIBETRADER_API_KEY": "vt_your_key_here" } } } }
   }
   

3. Add the VibeTrader MCP server. It sends the key as a header on every request:

   {
     "mcp": {
       "servers": {
         "vibetrader": {
           "url": "https://mcp.vibetrader.markets/mcp",
           "transport": "streamable-http",
           "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${VIBETRADER_API_KEY}" }
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

   Or sign in instead of using a key: set "auth": "oauth" on the server (and drop headers), then run openclaw mcp login vibetrader. You sign in to VibeTrader in the browser and choose the permissions there.

The key always goes in the request header. Never paste it into chat: the hosted server no longer has an authenticate tool.

What it can do

• Bots: create from plain English, list, inspect, start, pause, update, delete, and preview how often a bot would trigger.
• Backtests: run them, list them, open results, and run a quick covered-call backtest.
• Portfolio: account summary, positions, trade history, and per-bot trades and daily stats.
• Market: quotes, market status, and the indicator catalog.
• Orders: place_order and close_position at your VibeTrader-connected Alpaca account. Needs Place orders and run live bots.
• Signal mode: a bot that watches and decides but sends you each entry and exit instead of trading, so you can trade wherever you hold the account:
  • set_signal_mode turns it on;
  • list_open_signals shows what to do now;
  • report_signal records the trade you made so the bot tracks your position and sends the exits.
