Robinhood Crypto — Claude Code MCP server: trading and setup
This MCP server gives AI agents Robinhood Crypto quotes, holdings, and order data. Trading stays off until explicitly enabled.
claude mcp add --env ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_API_KEY=<ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_API_KEY> --env ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_PRIVATE_KEY=<ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_PRIVATE_KEY> --env ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_API_VERSION=<ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_API_VERSION> --env ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_BASE_URL=<ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_BASE_URL> --transport stdio robinhood-crypto -- npx -y robinhood-mcpWhat Robinhood Crypto does
Robinhood Crypto connects an AI agent to Robinhood’s official Crypto Trading API. It can read quotes, holdings, and orders, calculate FIFO cost basis and realized P&L, keep a trade journal, and apply risk controls. Trading tools are separated from the read-only data server.
Setup uses ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_API_KEY and ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_PRIVATE_KEY; the configuration also accepts ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_API_VERSION and ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_BASE_URL. The server is started with npx -y robinhood-mcp. Trading requires ROBINHOOD_CRYPTO_ENABLE_TRADING=1, while guarded mode asks for confirm: true before an order is placed.
Robinhood provides no sandbox or paper account, so an order sent through this server uses real money in a real brokerage account. The package includes order caps, an optional symbol allowlist, buy-only mode, and a kill switch that pauses execution.
What it helps with
- read Robinhood Crypto quotes and holdings
- inspect existing crypto orders
- calculate FIFO cost basis and realized P&L
- record trades in a journal
- place orders behind risk limits
Example prompts for the agent
- Show the current BTC-USD quote and my Robinhood holdings.
- Calculate FIFO cost basis and realized P&L for my trades.
- Prepare an ETH-USD buy order and return the request for confirmation.
