Connect Your Client

MCP URL:

https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel

Replace te_live_YOUR_TOKEN with the PAT from Agent Connections.


Cursor

Add to MCP settings (JSON), or use Cursor's MCP UI and paste equivalent fields:

{
"mcpServers": {
"trade-echo": {
"url": "https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer te_live_YOUR_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}

Then ask Cursor something like: "Using Trade Echo, show unusual call flow on NVDA today."


Claude (claude.ai / Claude Desktop) - OAuth, no PAT

Claude's custom connectors do not support PAT headers - connect with OAuth:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector (claude.ai web or Claude Desktop).

  2. Paste the MCP URL:

    https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel
  3. Click Add, then Connect - Claude opens the Trade Echo consent page. Sign in, accept the terms, click Allow.

  4. Ask Claude for flow, dealer levels, or a futures session brief.

The connection shows on Agent Connections as type oauth. Revoke anytime.

Claude Code

With a PAT:

claude mcp add trade-echo \
--transport http \
https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel \
--header "Authorization: Bearer te_live_YOUR_TOKEN"

Or with OAuth: add the server without the --header line, then run /mcp inside Claude Code and choose Authenticate.


Codex

codex mcp add trade-echo --url https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel

Set the bearer token in MCP settings, or:

export TRADE_ECHO_MCP_PAT="te_live_YOUR_TOKEN"

Point bearer_token_env_var at TRADE_ECHO_MCP_PAT if your Codex MCP config supports it.


Grok

grok mcp add --transport http trade-echo https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel \
--header "Authorization: Bearer te_live_YOUR_TOKEN"

Or on grok.com: Connectors → Custom → paste the MCP URL, then set Authorization to the PAT if prompted.


ChatGPT (OAuth - no PAT)

  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & connectors (or Plugins) and enable Developer mode.

  2. Add a custom MCP app with:

    https://api.tradeecho.com/api/mcp/intel
  3. Choose OAuth when prompted.

  4. ChatGPT opens Trade Echo consent - sign in, accept terms, click Allow.

  5. Ask ChatGPT to use Trade Echo MCP for flow or dealer levels.

The connection shows on Agent Connections as type oauth. Revoke anytime.


Verify the connection

In any connected agent, ask:

List Trade Echo MCP tools.

You should see tools such as get_option_flow, get_dealer_edge_data, get_dark_pool_data, depending on the scopes you granted.

If you get 401 Unauthorized:

  • Token missing, mistyped, or revoked
  • Subscription inactive
  • Wrong header format (Authorization: Bearer te_live_...)

If you get credit limit errors:

  • Wait for the hourly reset, or buy bonus credits on Agent Connections
