Claude connects to Robinhood’s agentic trading through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). There are two ways in depending on which Claude you use — Claude Code (the terminal) or Claude Desktop. Both point at the same endpoint.

Before you start

You need a Robinhood individual investing account in good standing, and you must do this on a desktop device — that’s the only place you can open an agentic account and authenticate. Decide your funding amount first; it’s your hard cap on losses.

The Robinhood Trading MCP URL:

https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading

Option A — Claude Code

  1. In your terminal, add the server:
claude mcp add robinhood-trading --transport http https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading
  1. In Claude Code, type /mcp.
  2. Select robinhood-trading and complete authentication. Robinhood will prompt you to open and fund your Agentic account during this step.

Option B — Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter the MCP link: https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading
  3. Complete authentication when prompted, and open/fund your Agentic account.

Set guardrails before Claude trades

This is the step most setup guides skip. A connected agent with no limits can act faster than you can react. Before you let Claude place an order:

  • Easiest path: install the free SecProve Agent Safety skill and Claude applies the guardrails automatically — no copy-paste. It’s the recommended setup for Claude.
  • Or generate a guardrail config with the free SecProve Agent Safety Kit and paste it into Claude as a system instruction — per-trade caps, a daily cap, an approval gate, a kill switch, and a prompt-injection rule.
  • Set your spending and trade limits deliberately.
  • Know your kill switch: the "STOP" phrase and how to disconnect the MCP.

Good to know

Agentic trading is in beta and equities-only for now. Robinhood does not supervise the agents you connect — the safety configuration is yours to own.

Pasting the URL is the easy part. Knowing whether a poisoned headline could turn Claude against your account is a security skill — and it’s measurable. Test yours at secprove.com.
