How to connect Cursor to MetaTrader 4

With TraderWAI, Cursor's Agent gets live market data and your MetaTrader 4 account as MCP tools: get_ohlc for candles, get_quote, get_positions, get_broker_accounts, modify_position and more. Pull data into your project, prototype and backtest a strategy, check your positions and prepare orders with stop loss and take profit that you approve. One click or one entry in mcp.json, no API key.

MetaTrader 4: The forex classic, with millions of accounts worldwide, connected through MetaApi.

Step 1: add TraderWAI to Cursor

Works in Cursor (Agent).

Add to Cursor
Cursor didn't open? Use the web install link →
  1. In Cursor go to Settings → Tools & MCP → «Add new MCP server».
  2. Or paste the configuration below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
  3. Click «Login» / «Connect» next to traderwai and sign in with Google.
  4. Use the chat in Agent mode and ask for what you need.

Or paste this into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in your project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "traderwai": {
      "url": "https://mcp.traderwai.com"
    }
  }
}

Step 2: connect your MetaTrader 4 account

In TraderWAI go to Settings → Broker accounts → Add account and choose MetaTrader 4.

Enter your MetaTrader 4 login (account number), the master password and the server name exactly as it appears in MetaTrader. The account is set up in 1–3 minutes.

MetaTrader 4 is included in the Trader plan ($29/month). Charts and analysis are free on every plan.

Step 3: ask Cursor

Open the chat in Agent mode and try, for example:

  • «Use TraderWAI's get_ohlc to fetch the last 500 H1 candles of gold (XAUUSD), save them as a CSV in data/ and write a Python script that tests an EMA 20/50 crossover on them.»
  • «Call get_broker_accounts and get_positions and write a short report of my open MetaTrader 4 positions with the risk of each one.»
  • «If any open MetaTrader 4 position is at least 1R in profit, move its stop loss to break-even with modify_position. Show me the change before applying it.»
  • «Run backtest_strategy on gold (XAUUSD): buy on H1 when a candle closes above the previous day's high, stop below that candle, 2R target. Then turn the rules into a function in my project.»

What Cursor can do with your MetaTrader 4 account

  • Read live charts in any timeframe, with the indicators you ask for.
  • Check your balance, open positions and pending orders.
  • Backtest a strategy idea on historical data before risking anything.
  • Prepare market, limit and stop orders with stop loss and take profit that you approve.
  • Leave conditional orders that TraderWAI watches every minute.
  • Respect your risk limits: maximum daily loss and drawdown, risk per trade, size and number of trades.

Questions

Can my own bot use the same data and account?

Inside Cursor, the Agent calls TraderWAI's tools while you work: it can save candles to files in your project and write and test code with them. For something that runs on its own, use TraderWAI's conditional orders, which are checked every minute even with Cursor closed, or connect your own agent to https://mcp.traderwai.com with an MCP client that supports OAuth. Every order goes through your risk limits.

Which TraderWAI tools can Cursor use?

All of them: get_ohlc, get_quote and get_chart for market data; get_broker_accounts, get_positions and get_account_info for your accounts; execute_trade, suggest_order, modify_position and close_position for orders; backtest_strategy for backtests and create_conditional_order for rules TraderWAI watches. Cursor asks before running a tool unless you allow it to run automatically.

Is it free to connect Cursor to MetaTrader 4?

Charts and analysis are free. Trading on MetaTrader 4 requires the Trader plan ($29/month).

Does Cursor place orders on its own?

Only if you want it to. By default every order needs your approval. You can also allow automatic execution for specific symbols, always within the risk limits you set.

Is my MetaTrader 4 account safe?

Your credentials are encrypted (AES-256) and the key is kept on a separate server. TraderWAI only acts on your account as you instruct and never requests withdrawal permissions.

Does it work with demo accounts?

Yes, with demo and live MetaTrader 4 accounts. We recommend starting with a demo.
