MCP

AI-driven trading infrastructure

Expose your Sequence account to Claude (or any MCP-compatible client) via 80 structured tools. Pull live market data, run TCA, monitor positions — and, optionally, place orders.


What MCP lets the AI do

Pre-trade analysis

Cross-venue spreads, liquidity depth, recent volatility, arbitrage opportunities — from live data.

Execution review

Pull TCA reports, compare fills against benchmarks, assess SOR routing decisions.

Portfolio monitoring

Natural-language summaries of positions, unrealized P&L, venue exposure, concentration risk.

Data quality checks

Query reconciliation reports to verify market-data alignment with external sources.


Toolsets

Read-only (default)

All market data, portfolio, analytics, and system-status tools. Cannot modify orders or deploy algorithms. Use for research assistants, portfolio reporting, and market analysis.

Read-write

Adds order placement, cancellation, amend, kill-switch activation, and algo deployment. Enable only in trusted environments where you want the AI to have trading authority.

Warning

The read-write toolset can place real orders and activate the kill switch. Only enable it where you want the AI to act on your behalf.

Beyond tools

The MCP server also exposes:

  • Resources — ambient context documents (market overview, portfolio state, data quality, system status) that clients can read without explicit tool calls.
  • Dynamic templates — parameterized resources like ticker/{symbol} and orderbook/{symbol} for on-demand data.
  • Prompts — pre-built analytical workflows (market analysis, pre-trade checks, execution review, reconciliation reports).

See Resources & Prompts for details.
