TradingView runs its own MCP server, now in public beta. You sign in with your TradingView account, and it needs the Essential plan or higher. It reads prices, screens stocks, pulls news and filings, and manages your watchlists and alerts. Community servers fill the gaps. One drives your TradingView Desktop chart, others need no TradingView account at all. None of the community servers are made by TradingView.

Good for

  • Investors who want Claude or ChatGPT to screen stocks and read fundamentals from their TradingView account
  • Pine Script developers who want an AI to edit scripts and drive their open chart
  • Traders who want to set up price alerts and watchlists by asking
  • Anyone without a paid plan who wants market data or indicator search

Which TradingView MCP server to use

Use TradingView's own server if you have an Essential plan or higher. Use tradingview-mcp to control your Desktop chart, or TradingView MCP by atilaahmettaner for market data and backtests (free to self-host, paid if hosted).

Questions

Is there an official TradingView MCP server?

Yes. TradingView runs a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.tradingview.com/mcp, and its docs cover setup for Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok and Perplexity. Every other server on this page is an independent project.

Do I need a paid TradingView plan?

For the official server, yes: it is included in Essential and above, and trial plans do not include MCP access. The community servers differ. tradingview-mcp by tradesdontlie needs a paid subscription for real-time data, while the TradingView MCP by atilaahmettaner and the screener and indicator-search servers need no TradingView account. Self-hosting the atilaahmettaner server is free; its README prices the hosted TradingMCP version from $9 a month.

Does the TradingView MCP server work with Claude and ChatGPT?

Yes. TradingView's docs walk through adding the server URL as a custom connector in Claude and as an MCP server in ChatGPT, then signing in with your TradingView account. The README for tradingview-mcp by tradesdontlie targets Claude Code.

Do I need an API key for the TradingView server?

Not for the official one. It uses OAuth sign-in with your TradingView account. The chart image server asks for your TradingView session cookies, and the screener server says no authentication is required.

Can the TradingView MCP change my account?

The official server can. Its tools create, rename and delete watchlists and manage price alerts, so check what you ask it to do. Its docs also mark each tool read-only or write, and cap calls at about 100 requests per minute per user.

Can any of these servers place trades?

The READMEs of tradingview-mcp by tradesdontlie and TradingView MCP by atilaahmettaner both say the server does not execute trades. TradingView's own tool list covers data, screeners, watchlists and alerts.

What is the difference between tradingview-mcp and TradingView MCP?

tradingview-mcp by tradesdontlie controls your TradingView Desktop app: it changes symbols, edits Pine Script, draws and takes screenshots. TradingView MCP by atilaahmettaner is a data server with 39 tools for indicators, screeners and backtesting, and it also runs as a hosted service.

Which server can search Pine Script indicators?

The Indicator Search server. It searches TradingView's public script library and fetches the Pine Script source of open-source scripts, with no account needed. Its README warns about rate limits and sets delays between requests.

Are the community TradingView servers safe to use?

Read the README first. tradingview-mcp by tradesdontlie says it uses undocumented internal TradingView interfaces that can break after an update, and it is not affiliated with TradingView. Keep session cookies and tokens out of shared config files.
