VibeTrader MCP server

Create and manage AI trading bots and check your portfolio through your AI assistant.

VibeTrader is a trading bot platform that connects to the Alpaca brokerage. This MCP server lets your AI assistant create trading bots, start or pause them, and look at your portfolio for you. It is handy if you already trade or want to try trading with a bot but do not want to click through a website for every small thing.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to VibeTrader, so the AI can create bots, check your positions, and place orders when you ask. You stay in charge of what you ask for, and the helper does the talking to VibeTrader behind the scenes.

What this MCP server does

You type a request in plain words, like asking for a bot that buys a stock when a signal appears. Your AI sends that request to this helper, and the helper talks to VibeTrader and to the Alpaca brokerage behind it. VibeTrader builds or changes the bot, or fetches the data you asked for. Then the answer comes back into your chat as a list, a summary, or a confirmation that something changed.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Create a bot that buys AAPL when RSI is low”, the VibeTrader MCP server connects it to VibeTrader, and you get back answer in your chat.

“What are my current positions and unrealized profit or loss”

What it gives back to you

You get answers right in the chat. That can be a list of your bots, a summary of your balance and buying power, current quotes, or the results of a backtest with numbers. When you ask for a change, like starting a bot or placing an order, it tells you whether it worked.
