Robinhood MCP setup guide

The bot trades through a Robinhood MCP server — a small bridge that exposes account and order tools to the AI agent. This guide walks the setup at a high level. Tool-name specifics are verified against the live MCP and may be refined.

  1. Get a Robinhood account. If you don’t have one, use this link.
  2. Provision credentials. Create API/login credentials and store them as environment variables — never in source control.
  3. Configure the MCP server. Point your agent’s MCP config at the Robinhood server entry so the client can discover its tools (account snapshot, place order, list positions).
  4. Set your risk config. Per-trade cap, daily deploy cap, cash buffer, and a kill-switch — the bot refuses to exceed them.
  5. Dry-run first. Validate that orders are simulated before going live.
