Cursor connects to Robinhood’s agentic trading through its MCP support. You can use the built-in connect flow or drop the server into your MCP config directly. Both use the same endpoint.

Before you start

You need a Robinhood individual investing account in good standing, and a desktop device — the only place you can open an agentic account and authenticate. Pick your funding amount first; it caps your maximum loss.

The Robinhood Trading MCP URL:

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

Connect Cursor

Via the UI:

  1. Open Settings → Cursor Settings.
  2. Select Tools & MCPs → Connect.
  3. Provide the MCP link: https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading

Or via config — add a new MCP server with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "robinhood-trading": {
      "url": "https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading"
    }
  }
}

Then complete authentication when prompted, and open/fund your Agentic account. Auth runs through Robinhood.

Set guardrails before Cursor trades

A connected agent with no limits can move faster than you can stop it. Before the first order:

  • Generate a guardrail config with the free SecProve Agent Safety Kit and give it to Cursor’s agent as a standing instruction — caps, an approval gate, a kill switch, and a prompt-injection rule.
  • Set your spending and trade limits.
  • Know your kill switch — the "STOP" phrase and how to remove the MCP server.

Good to know

Agentic trading is in beta and equities-only for now. Robinhood does not supervise connected agents — your guardrails are the safety layer.

Wiring up Cursor is quick. Knowing whether it can be manipulated through the data it reads is a security skill — and it’s measurable. Test yours at secprove.com.
