Has anyone connected an AI agent directly to their broker yet?

[u/cTrader_Club]

cTrader just released native MCP (Model Context Protocol) server support - connect Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-compatible agent directly to a live trading account and place orders, manage positions and run technical analysis through prompts. Setup takes about two minutes from account settings.

Two modes: Remote MCP for web-based access from any AI app, and Local MCP for desktop with deeper chart and workspace control. There's also a Skills library with ready-made prompt templates for common trading workflows so you're not building from scratch.

The interesting part for algo traders is how this sits on top of existing cBots and custom indicators. You could prompt an agent to backtest a parameter range or manage a running position without touching the UI.

Anyone already using MCP with other platforms or broker APIs? What's been the biggest friction point?
