01
Install the ReadChart EA
Attach the bridge Expert Advisor on your MetaTrader 5 terminal so quotes, account state, and confirmed orders can flow.
Claude + MetaTrader 5
Connect Claude to MetaTrader 5 via MCP
Give Claude Desktop or Claude Code live MT5 quotes, journal context, and confirm-gated trade tools — nothing executes without your approval.
How it works
02
Connect Claude over MCP
Add ReadChart as an MCP connector in Claude Desktop or Claude Code, then sign in once.
03
Confirm every trade
Ask Claude for quotes, bars, or setups. Orders only queue to MT5 after you approve in ReadChart — no autopilot.
Why ReadChart for Claude
Different from native MT5 AI and DIY Python MCP servers.
Confirm-gated, not autopilot
Unlike loose local MCP scripts that can fire orders, ReadChart requires your explicit confirmation before anything hits the broker.
Journal context in the chat
Claude sees thesis + fills from your ReadChart journal — coaching stays grounded in what you actually traded.
Cloud MCP, not only local Python
Connect from Claude without running a DIY mt5-mcp-server on stdio. Your EA keeps credentials on your machine.

FAQ
Yes. Both work as MCP clients. Add ReadChart from the Connect MCP flow, sign in, and Claude can call live MT5 tools.
No. Every order needs your confirmation in ReadChart. Keep AutoTrading on and the EA attached only for orders you already approved.
Native MT5 AI lives inside the terminal. ReadChart puts Claude on a confirm-gated cloud bridge with journal context — you stay on the last mile of every trade.
No. The EA authenticates with a rotatable bridge token. ReadChart never stores your MT5 login password for this path.
