The Alpaca MCP Server provides a comprehensive integration between Alpaca's Trading API and AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol, enabling natural language-driven trading operations. It exposes tools for managing stocks, options, and cryptocurrency positions, accessing real-time market data, and performing portfolio management tasks. The server solves the problem of making programmatic trading accessible through conversational AI interfaces like Claude and Cursor, abstracting the complexity of API calls into natural language commands.
