Other Clients

Any client that supports the Model Context Protocol can connect to E8 Markets. This page covers the generic setup.

Connection details

Setting Value
Endpoint URL https://trade.e8markets.com/api/mcp
Transport Streamable HTTP
Authorization Bearer YOUR_API_KEY (sent as an Authorization header)

Configuration

Most MCP clients accept a JSON config. Use the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "e8markets": {
      "url": "https://trade.e8markets.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key from the Prerequisites step.

Integration steps

  1. Open your client's MCP or tools settings.
  2. Add a new server using the configuration above.
  3. Save and restart the client if required.
  4. Ask: "What trading assets are available?" to confirm the connection works.

How to trade

Once connected, you can trade through natural language:

  1. Check your account — "Show me my account info"
  2. Research — "What's the current price of EURUSD?"
  3. Place an order — "Buy 0.1 lots of EURUSD at market"
  4. Monitor — "Show me my open positions"
  5. Close — "Close my EURUSD position"

All orders go through the same execution engine as the web terminal — same prices, same slippage checks, same risk controls. All accounts are demo/evaluation, so no real money is at risk.

In-app setup modal

You can also find setup instructions directly inside the terminal. Click the "Use with AI" button in the top navigation bar to open the MCP configuration modal.
