claude.ai and the Claude apps: no token needed

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Tradingale, and paste the server URL below. Leave the OAuth fields empty: Claude registers itself and walks you through the Tradingale sign-in. Your account's plan decides the data scope.

https://tradingale.com/mcp

Claude Code: one command

claude mcp add --transport http tradingale https://tradingale.com/mcp

Claude Code handles authentication from there. That is the whole setup.

Claude Desktop: two config options

Add one of the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file, with your own token in place of the placeholder.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tradingale": {
      "url": "https://tradingale.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tradingale": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://tradingale.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf

In Cursor: Settings → Tools & MCP → New MCP Server opens mcp.json. The same file shape works in VS Code and Windsurf:

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

Save, then click the server entry to sign in: the IDE opens the Tradingale login in your browser and returns with the tools listed. Deep-link callbacks (cursor://, vscode://, windsurf://) are supported.

ChatGPT

On a paid plan with developer mode enabled: Settings → Connectors → Create, paste https://tradingale.com/mcp and complete the OAuth sign-in when prompted.

Grok and clients without OAuth support: the secret URL

Some MCP clients cannot run an OAuth flow or attach headers (Grok's custom connectors, some low-code platforms). For those, put your API token from Settings > API directly in the server URL:

https://tradingale.com/mcp?key=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>

Treat that URL like a password: it carries your token and your quota. If it ever leaks, regenerate the token in Settings and update the URL. When both are present, the Authorization header wins over the URL key.

The seven tools

All tools are read-only. They serve descriptive metrics and model parameters; none of them touches an exchange or an account.

Three questions to try first

Once connected, Claude can answer descriptive questions about the catalog. For example:

• “Which instruments currently show a Martingale Score above 4?”
• “Summarize the crypto market overview.”
• “How is the model structured for BTC?”

The answers describe how the model currently reads the data. What you do with those readings happens outside Tradingale, on your side.
