Requirements

Hosted MCP (Zero Install)

Use VecTrade's hosted MCP server — no local setup needed. Just add the remote URL to your IDE config:

Streamable HTTP (recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vectrade": {
      "url": "https://mcp.vectrade.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "vq_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Legacy SSE:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vectrade": {
      "url": "https://mcp.vectrade.io/sse",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "vq_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

The hosted server uses the same API key authentication and plan limits as the REST API.

Self-Hosting

To run the MCP server on your own infrastructure:

# Build and run
npm run build
PORT=3200 VECTRADE_API_KEY=vq_live_... npm start         # Streamable HTTP
PORT=3200 VECTRADE_API_KEY=vq_live_... npm run start:sse  # Legacy SSE

# Docker
docker build -t vectrade-mcp .
docker run -p 3200:3200 -e VECTRADE_API_KEY=vq_live_... vectrade-mcp
