Robinhood’s agentic trading lets you connect an AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, or your own — to a dedicated brokerage account it can trade on your behalf. The connection itself is genuinely a paste-one-URL affair. The part that actually matters is what you do before you let it trade. This guide covers both.
What you’ll need first
- A primary Robinhood individual investing account in good standing — you need this before you can open an Agentic account.
- A desktop device. You can only open an agentic account and authenticate your agent on desktop.
- A decision about how much to fund it. That number is the most your agent can ever lose — see How Much Should You Fund an AI Trading Agent?
The one URL
Every platform connects to the same Robinhood Trading MCP endpoint:
https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading
The three steps, in plain terms
- Connect — paste that URL into your agent’s MCP config (platform-specific steps below).
- Authenticate & open the account — during authentication, Robinhood prompts you to create your Agentic account and fund it with a dedicated budget. Auth runs through Robinhood; your agent never sees your password.
- Set guardrails, then trade — before you hand it real money, bound what it can do.
Connect your specific agent
- Connect Claude to Robinhood — Claude Code & Claude Desktop
- Connect ChatGPT to Robinhood
- Connect Cursor to Robinhood
- Connect Codex to Robinhood
Do this before the first trade
A connected agent with no limits is an autonomous system pointed at your money. Set the guardrails first:
- Using Claude? Install the free SecProve Agent Safety skill — it applies the guardrails automatically on every session, no copy-paste.
- Generate a copy-paste guardrail config with the free SecProve Agent Safety Kit — caps, approval gate, kill switch, and a prompt-injection rule, scaled to your funding.
- Walk the pre-flight checklist so nothing gets skipped.
- Understand the three ways an agentic account blows up before you find out the hard way.
Good to know
Agentic trading is in beta and equities only right now — options, crypto, and futures are not yet supported. And Robinhood does not supervise, monitor, or audit the AI agents you connect; once your data reaches your AI provider, it’s governed by that provider’s terms. The safety is on you, which is exactly why you set it up front.
Connecting an agent takes two minutes. Knowing whether it can be tricked into draining the account is a security skill — and it’s measurable. Test yours at secprove.com.
