QuantConnect MCP Workflow

QC MCP Enables Powerful New LLM Workflows

The QuantConnect MCP Server empowers AI to act like a trusted team member, able to execute tasks reliably on your behalf. Try some examples below to compliment your research.

"Are there interesting new strategies being discussed online?"

Search research journals and QuantConnect discussions for recent interesting posts to create your next strategy.

"Review my live algorithms. Are there any we should stop trading?"

Fetch live algorithm results and review their performance, and perform analysis to see if any are outside of expected tolerance.

"Update my project to add downside protection for outlier events."

Analyze your project code and update it to purchase downside insurance. It will also run backtests to confirm reduced drawdown.

"Debug the last runtime error and fix the project code."

The MCP will fetch the last backtest, read it's error message, and modify the project to fix the issue, and re-run your backtest to confirm success.
