Connect Claude & ChatGPT to MT5 — trade by asking, via MCP

Risk warning: Trading CFDs and other leveraged products is complex and carries a high risk of losing money rapidly because of leverage. Industry data indicates that 70–80% of retail trading accounts lose money on these products. Risk disclosure · Past performance.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets assistants like Claude and ChatGPT call real tools. PipSync exposes your MT5, cTrader and Match-Trade accounts as a set of trading tools behind that standard, with trading-scope access only — never withdrawals. The connector is in early access and is being rolled out to accounts in stages.

1. 1

   Create your PipSync account and subscribe to a plan

   Sign up at app.pipsync.io and connect the MT5 (or cTrader / Match-Trade) account you want your assistant to reach. A paid plan (Starter or higher) is needed, because the Free plan cannot link a broker account.

2. 2

   Add the PipSync connector in your assistant

   In Claude or ChatGPT, open the connectors/MCP settings, add the PipSync MCP URL and sign in. PipSync then appears as a set of trading tools your assistant can call.

3. 3

   Ask about your account in plain language

   Start with read-only questions such as “What are my open positions?” or “Quote XAUUSD.” The assistant calls the matching tool and answers from your live account.

4. 4

   Place a trade — and approve it

   Ask it to open, modify or close a position. Your assistant asks you to approve the tool call in its own prompt; keep per-call approval turned on, because PipSync adds no second confirmation.

5. 5

   Set the volume and SL/TP yourself

   Orders placed through the assistant are sent exactly as it specifies (volume, SL, TP). PipSync's per-route sizing and position limits apply to signal-driven trades, not to orders placed through MCP, so set the volume and SL/TP yourself and review each prompt.

Typical setup time: about 5 minutes.

MCP — the Model Context Protocol — is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to real tools and data. Claude and ChatGPT both support it, so any service that speaks MCP can appear inside them as a set of callable tools.

PipSync implements MCP in front of its trading gateway. Once you add the connector, your assistant is not guessing about markets from training data — it is calling live PipSync tools that read your real account and route real orders, once you approve each call.

Not by design. Reading your account is automatic, but every action that changes it — opening, modifying or closing a position — goes through your assistant's own per-call approval prompt. PipSync adds no second confirmation, so keep per-call approval turned on.

Access is trading-scope only: the connector can place and manage trades, but it can never move or withdraw money. Review every prompt before you approve it.

The connector reaches the broker accounts you have already linked to PipSync — MT5, cTrader and Match-Trade. Your assistant can list them, read positions and quotes on each, and act on the one you choose.

• Read your accounts, open positions and pending orders
• Get live quotes and the same ML predictions PipSync runs on
• Place, modify and close trades — each approved in your assistant's prompt

No. The connector is a URL you add inside Claude or ChatGPT — there is no software to install, no VPS to rent and no terminal to keep open. PipSync runs the trading side in the cloud, and your assistant simply calls it when you ask.
