System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It helps you place stock, ETF, crypto, and options trades from your AI assistant without manually working through trading interfaces or complex API flows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Natural-language trading via MCP: Turn requests like “buy 10 AAPL at market” or “place a bracket order” into Alpaca orders that your MCP client can execute.
  • Market data and account operations: Retrieve quotes, bars, snapshots, account balances, portfolio history, and open positions in-context so you can decide what to trade.
  • Options and crypto support: Get option chains and Greeks for strategies (e.g., iron condors) and trade crypto pairs through the same assistant workflow.

Quick Start

Configure your MCP client to run the alpaca-mcp-server with your ALPACA_API_KEY and ALPACA_SECRET_KEY environment variables, then ask your assistant “What’s my buying power?”.
