TradingView × Claude AI

Connect TradingView Desktop + your Indian broker to Claude in minutes. Works on Mac and Windows.

⚡ The Fastest Way — Just Give Claude This Prompt

🤖 Copy this prompt and paste it directly into Claude Desktop

Set up TradingView MCP for me.
Clone https://github.com/LewisWJackson/tradingview-mcp-jackson.git to ~/tradingview-mcp-jackson,
run npm install, then add it to my Claude Desktop MCP config at
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
(merge with any existing servers, don't overwrite them).

The config block is:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tradingview": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
      "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/tradingview-mcp-jackson/src/server.js"]
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_USERNAME with my actual system username. Find it with: echo $USER
Then copy rules.example.json to rules.json so I can fill in my trading rules.
Finally tell me how to launch TradingView with CDP and verify with tv_health_check.

✅ Claude will clone, install, write the config, and walk you through the rest. That's it.

Windows version — change two things in the prompt above:
Config path → %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Node command → replace /opt/homebrew/bin/node with output of where node in PowerShell

⚙️ Before You Start — Install These 4 Things

💻

TradingView Desktop

Paid plan required (Pro/Pro+/Premium).
tradingview.com/desktop

🤖

Claude Desktop

Download the Claude app (not the web version).
claude.ai/download

🟢

Node.js v18+

Mac: brew install node
Windows: download from nodejs.org
Check: node --version

🐙

Git

Mac: xcode-select --install
Windows: gitforwindows.org
Check: git --version

💡 That's all. npm comes bundled with Node. You don't need to install anything else separately — Claude handles the rest via the prompt above.

🔌 If You Prefer Manual Steps — Do It Yourself in 5

Clone & Install

Open Terminal (Mac) or PowerShell (Windows) and run:

🍎 Mac

git clone https://github.com/LewisWJackson/tradingview-mcp-jackson.git \
  ~/tradingview-mcp-jackson
cd ~/tradingview-mcp-jackson
npm install
npm link

🪟 Windows

git clone https://github.com/LewisWJackson/tradingview-mcp-jackson.git `
  "$env:USERPROFILE	radingview-mcp-jackson"
cd "$env:USERPROFILE	radingview-mcp-jackson"
npm install
npm link

✅ npm link gives you the tv command globally — tv status, tv brief, tv dashboard all work from any terminal.

Add to Claude Desktop Config

Open the config file and add the tradingview block. Find your username with echo $USER (Mac) or echo %USERNAME% (Windows). Find your node path with which node (Mac) or where node (Windows).

🍎 Mac

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

🪟 Windows

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

JSON to add inside mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tradingview": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",   // output of: which node
      "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/tradingview-mcp-jackson/src/server.js"]
    }
  }
}

⚠️ If the file already has entries, only add the "tradingview" block inside the existing mcpServers — don't replace the whole file.

Launch TradingView with CDP & Restart Claude Desktop

Two things to do each session — takes 10 seconds total.

🍎 Mac

pkill -f TradingView; sleep 2
open -a TradingView --args --remote-debugging-port=9222

# Verify after ~10 seconds:
curl -s http://localhost:9222/json/version

🪟 Windows

taskkill /F /IM TradingView.exe 2>nul
"%LOCALAPPDATA%\TradingView\TradingView.exe" \
  --remote-debugging-port=9222

:: Verify after ~10 seconds:
curl -s http://localhost:9222/json/version

ℹ️ Then fully quit Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q on Mac / system tray on Windows) and relaunch it. MCP tools only load on startup.

🚫 Never use the normal TradingView dock icon — it won't enable CDP. Always use the commands above.

Verify the Connection

In Claude Desktop, just say:

# Say this to Claude:
tv_health_check

# You should see:
{ "success": true, "cdp_connected": true, "chart_symbol": "...", "api_available": true }

✅ "cdp_connected": true — you're live. Done.

ℹ️ If it fails: check TradingView was launched with the CDP command, and Claude Desktop was restarted after editing the config.

Set Up Your Rules & Run Morning Brief

Tell Claude to fill in your trading rules and sync your watchlist, then run the brief.

# Say to Claude (after connection is verified):
"Copy rules.example.json to rules.json, open my TradingView watchlist panel,
 pull all symbols, and update rules.json"

# Then run your first morning brief:
"Run morning_brief"

# Or from Terminal:
tv brief

✅ Daily workflow: Launch TV with CDP → open Claude → say "run morning brief" → get your A+/A/B+ graded setups, market bias, and top picks.

Handy CLI commands once connected:

tv dashboard — see your full config + how to update each field
tv rules set --field notes --value '"RBI policy Thursday"' — update any field
tv rules show — print full rules.json
tv status — quick CDP health check from terminal
tv brief — run morning brief from terminal (no timeout)

Uninstall & Reset (if needed)

🍎 Mac

# Remove repo, CLI, session data
rm -rf ~/tradingview-mcp-jackson
npm unlink -g tradingview-mcp
rm -rf ~/.tradingview-mcp

# Remove tradingview block from:
# ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/
#   claude_desktop_config.json

# Restart Claude Desktop

🪟 Windows

# Remove repo, CLI, session data
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force `
  "$env:USERPROFILE\tradingview-mcp-jackson"
npm unlink -g tradingview-mcp
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force `
  "$env:USERPROFILE\.tradingview-mcp"

# Remove tradingview block from:
# %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

# Restart Claude Desktop

📈 Connect Zerodha (Kite) MCP

Uses the community zerodha-mcp server which wraps the Kite Connect API. You'll need a Kite Connect app (API key + secret) — create one free at developers.kite.trade.

Clone & Install

git clone https://github.com/zerodha/zerodha-mcp.git ~/zerodha-mcp
cd ~/zerodha-mcp
npm install

Add to Claude Desktop Config

Merge this block into mcpServers in your Claude Desktop config:

"zerodha": {
  "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",    // Mac: which node
  "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/zerodha-mcp/src/index.js"],
  "env": {
    "KITE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here",
    "KITE_API_SECRET": "your_api_secret_here"
  }
}

⚠️ Replace YOUR_USERNAME, your_api_key_here, and your_api_secret_here with real values. Windows: change path to %USERPROFILE%\zerodha-mcp\src\index.js and node path to output of where node.

Authenticate & Verify

Restart Claude Desktop, then say:

# Zerodha requires a daily login token — tell Claude:
"Generate my Kite login URL and help me authenticate for today"

# Once authenticated, test it:
"Get my Zerodha portfolio holdings"
"Show my open positions"

ℹ️ Kite Connect access tokens expire daily at 6 AM IST. You'll need to re-authenticate each trading day — Claude can automate this with the login URL.

🌱 Connect Groww MCP

Uses the Groww MCP server. You'll need your Groww account credentials. The server uses the unofficial Groww API — suitable for reading portfolio data and placing orders.

Clone & Install

git clone https://github.com/PrashamTrivedi/GrowwMCP.git ~/groww-mcp
cd ~/groww-mcp
npm install

Add to Claude Desktop Config

Merge this block into mcpServers:

"groww": {
  "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",    // Mac: which node
  "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/groww-mcp/build/index.js"],
  "env": {
    "GROWW_AUTH_TOKEN": "your_groww_token_here"
  }
}

ℹ️ To get your Groww auth token: open Groww in Chrome → DevTools (F12) → Network tab → make any request → look for Authorization header in the request headers.

Build & Verify

# Build the TypeScript source first:
cd ~/groww-mcp
npm run build

# Restart Claude Desktop, then say:
"Show my Groww portfolio"
"Get my Groww holdings and current P&L"

⚠️ The Groww token may expire periodically — if tools stop responding, fetch a fresh token from DevTools and update the env block in your config.

🔗 Running All Three Together

Your final claude_desktop_config.json will look like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tradingview": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
      "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/tradingview-mcp-jackson/src/server.js"]
    },
    "zerodha": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
      "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/zerodha-mcp/src/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "KITE_API_KEY": "your_api_key",
        "KITE_API_SECRET": "your_api_secret"
      }
    },
    "groww": {
      "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/node",
      "args": ["/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/groww-mcp/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "GROWW_AUTH_TOKEN": "your_groww_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

✅ All three MCP servers load on Claude Desktop startup. Claude can now read live TradingView charts AND trade on Zerodha and Groww from the same conversation.
