@gt-protocol/mcp
GT Protocol MCP Server — connect Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible AI agent to your GT Protocol trading account.
Manage bots, run backtests, check balances, and automate trading strategies — all through natural language.
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI agents call external tools. This server exposes the GT Protocol REST API as a set of tools that any MCP-compatible AI can use.
Quickstart
1. Add to Claude Code
Add this to your .mcp.json (or ~/.claude.json for global access):
{
"mcpServers": {
"gt-protocol": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/gt-protocol/mcp-server/index.js"]
}
}
}
No env variables needed.
2. Authenticate
On first use, call the authenticate tool:
Authenticate with GT Protocol using email@example.com and my password
The server calls /auth/sign_in, saves tokens to ~/.gt-mcp-auth.json, and confirms with your account email. Done.
You will never need to do this again — tokens are auto-refreshed on every use and persist across restarts.
3. Add to Cursor
Open Settings → MCP and add the same configuration block (without env).
4. Start trading with AI

What's my Binance balance?
Create a BTC/USDT long bot with $50 start order and 2% take profit
Close the deal on bot 12345

Paper Trading
GT Protocol supports paper (demo) trading — test strategies without real capital.

paper_cloneto copy an existing live bot into demo mode
Paper bots run on real market data but don't place real orders.
Authentication Details
Tokens are stored in ~/.gt-mcp-auth.json after the first authenticate call.
| Token | TTL | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Access token | ~1 hour | Auto-refreshed on 401 responses |
| Refresh token | ~7 days | Used to get new access tokens silently |
When the refresh token expires (~7 days of total inactivity), call authenticate again. Normal usage keeps tokens alive indefinitely through automatic refresh.
You can still set GT_TOKEN / GT_REFRESH_TOKEN in .mcp.json env to override the saved tokens — useful for CI/automation.
Environment variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
GT_TOKEN | — | Override access token (optional) |
GT_REFRESH_TOKEN | — | Override refresh token (optional) |
GT_API_URL | http://46.225.216.13:8765 | Override API base URL |
