If you searched that URL, here’s the short version: https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading is the official endpoint for Robinhood’s Trading MCP — the connection point that lets an AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, or your own) trade in a dedicated Robinhood account on your behalf. This page explains what it is, what it can do, and how to use it without getting wrecked.
What the URL is
It’s a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server Robinhood runs. You paste it into your agent’s MCP config once; authentication happens through Robinhood via OAuth, so your agent never sees your password. One URL, and your agent can act on a funded, isolated account:
https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading
What it lets an agent actually do
Connecting it gives the agent a defined tool set — the real functions it can call:
- Read:
get_accounts,get_portfolio,get_equity_positions,get_equity_quotes,get_equity_orders,search - Watchlists:
get_watchlists,add_to_watchlist,update_watchlist - Trade:
review_equity_order(simulate an order + get pre-trade warnings),place_equity_order,cancel_equity_order
It’s equities only during the beta (options tools are rolling out). The safety-critical pair is review_equity_order → place_equity_order: a good rule is to make the agent run the review and show you the result before it ever places.
How to connect it (pick your agent)
You can only open and authenticate an agentic account on a desktop, and you need a Robinhood individual account in good standing first.
- Connect Claude —
claude mcp add robinhood-trading --transport http https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading - Connect ChatGPT — Developer Mode → Apps → add the URL
- Connect Codex — Settings → MCP servers → Streamable HTTP
- Connect Cursor — Settings → Tools & MCPs → Connect

Before you let it trade
The URL is the easy part. An agent with order rights that reads the open internet is a new kind of target — so set guardrails first:
- Generate a copy-paste config with the free SecProve Agent Safety Kit — caps, an approval gate, a kill switch, and a prompt-injection rule, scaled to your funding.
- Understand the three ways an agentic account blows up.
- Know the real risk nobody else covers: can your trading agent be hacked?
Robinhood doesn’t supervise the 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 before the first trade.
Pasting the URL takes seconds. Knowing whether your agent can be tricked into draining the account is a measurable security skill — test yours at secprove.com.
