Freqtrade MCP server

Lets your AI check and control your Freqtrade crypto trading bot by just asking.

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to a Freqtrade trading bot. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI things like how your trades are doing or what your balance is, and it will go and fetch the answer from your bot. It is handy if you already run Freqtrade and want to check on it without clicking around a dashboard.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to another app. This one connects your AI to your Freqtrade bot, which is software that trades cryptocurrency for you. So when you ask a question about your bot, the AI can actually go and look it up instead of guessing.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something about your Freqtrade bot in normal words. The AI passes that request to this helper program. The helper talks to your Freqtrade bot through its built-in web connection, which you have to switch on. Your bot sends back the information, like your balance or your open trades, and the helper hands it to the AI. The AI then explains it to you in the chat, or if you asked it to do something like start the bot, it tells the bot to do that.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “What's my Freqtrade balance right now?”, the Freqtrade MCP server connects it to Freqtrade bot, and you get back answer in your chat.
