No API keys. No config files. Just conversation.</p> <p>The numbers</p> <p>We launched quietly three months ago. Without any marketing:</p> <ul> <li>42 users signed up organically</li> <li>16 linked their Robinhood accounts and traded real money</li> <li>One power user placed 60,000+ orders through the server</li> <li>All from Google Search, Hacker News, and MCP directory listings</li> </ul> <p>How it works</p> <p>Claude Code → MCP (JSON-RPC over HTTP) → Our Server → Robinhood API</p> <p>The server handles:</p> <ul> <li>OAuth 2.1 with PKCE — sign in with Google via Clerk</li> <li>Robinhood auth — phone approval + SMS fallback</li> <li>Token persistence — encrypted with AWS KMS, stored in DynamoDB</li> <li>All Robinhood operations — portfolio, positions, quotes, orders, cancellations</li> </ul> <p>Tokens are encrypted at rest with KMS. Only the Fargate container<br> can decrypt them. Passwords are never stored — sent directly to<br> Robinhood's API.</p> <p>Why this exists</p> <p>Robinhood doesn't offer a public API or OAuth for third parties.<br> Every unofficial integration (robin_stocks, etc.) uses the same<br> credential flow. We chose to be transparent about this rather than<br> hiding it.</p> <p>The tradeoff is real: you're trusting our server with temporary<br> access to your brokerage. We've documented the security model in<br> detail so users can make informed decisions.</p> <p>Try it</p> <p>claude mcp add trayd <a href="https://mcp.trayd.ai/mcp" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://mcp.trayd.ai/mcp</a></p> <p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/trayders/trayd-mcp" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/trayders/trayd-mcp</a></p> claudecode ai mcp team-trayd Tue, 30 Dec 2025 19:34:34 +0000 https://dev.to/teamtrayd_d74d7eeeed4003/i-built-an-mcp-server-to-trade-robinhood-through-claude-code-34ld https://dev.to/teamtrayd_d74d7eeeed4003/i-built-an-mcp-server-to-trade-robinhood-through-claude-code-34ld <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fl4js6zrv73wb6ljqegjk.gif" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fl4js6zrv73wb6ljqegjk.gif" alt=" " width="800" height="453"></a></p> <p>I got tired of clicking through 10+ screens just to place a trade. So I built an MCP server that lets me trade Robinhood using natural language in Claude Code.</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <p>Instead of the app, I just type:</p> <ul> <li>"What's my portfolio worth?"</li> <li>"Buy 10 shares of AAPL"</li> <li>"Place a limit order for TSLA at $400"</li> </ul> <h2> Setup (one command) </h2> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>claude mcp add <span class="nt">--transport</span> http trayd https://mcp.trayd.ai/mcp </code></pre> </div> <p>Then tell Claude: "Link my Robinhood account"</p> <h2> How it works </h2> <ol> <li> <strong>MCP Server</strong> - Runs on AWS ECS, handles OAuth + Robinhood API</li> <li> <strong>Clerk Auth</strong> - Google sign-in for user isolation</li> <li> <strong>Phone 2FA</strong> - Robinhood sends approval notification</li> <li> <strong>In-memory tokens</strong> - Never stored on disk</li> </ol> <h2> Security </h2> <ul> <li>Tokens in memory only (wiped on restart)</li> <li>Phone approval required to link</li> <li>Logout wipes everything instantly</li> <li>Open source - review the code yourself</li> </ul> <h2> GitHub </h2> <p><a href="https://github.com/trayders/trayd-mcp" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/trayders/trayd-mcp</a></p> <p>Would love feedback from Claude Code users!</p> ai mcp opensource tutorial
