How to connect Cursor to tastytrade

With TraderWAI, Cursor's Agent gets live market data and your tastytrade 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.

tastytrade: US broker (member of FINRA, NFA and SIPC). In TraderWAI: US futures such as MNQ, MES or MGC, on live accounts.

Step 1: add TraderWAI to Cursor

Works in Cursor (Agent).

Add to Cursor

Cursor didn't open? Use the web install link →

In Cursor go to Settings → Tools & MCP → «Add new MCP server».
Or paste the configuration below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
Click «Login» / «Connect» next to traderwai and sign in with Google.
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 tastytrade account

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

Click «Connect tastytrade», sign in on tastytrade and approve TraderWAI (read and trade). There is no API key and TraderWAI never sees your tastytrade password; you can remove the access in your tastytrade account at any time. Futures only, on live accounts (beta).

tastytrade works on the free plan: unlimited charts and analysis, and 5 order executions per day.

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 the Nasdaq 100 future (NAS100_FUT), 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 tastytrade positions with the risk of each one.»
«If any open tastytrade 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 the Nasdaq 100 future (NAS100_FUT): 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 tastytrade 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.

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 tastytrade?

Yes. The free plan includes unlimited charts and analysis and 5 order executions per day.

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 tastytrade account safe?

TraderWAI connects through tastytrade's official authorization (OAuth): you sign in on tastytrade and TraderWAI never sees your password. It only acts on your account as you instruct, and you can remove its access in your tastytrade account at any time.

Does it work with demo accounts?

Not for now: TraderWAI connects live tastytrade accounts (futures only, beta). Orders use micro contracts by default (MNQ, MES, MYM, MCL, MGC) and your risk limits are checked before every order.

Trading involves risk. TraderWAI is a technology tool: it does not provide investment advice and AI analysis is not a recommendation; you decide every order.
