Connect Claude Code

Last updated November 4, 2026

In Claude Code, install the tradeSteward plugin. Two commands add the connector and eight ready-made skills, and you sign in once.

Install the plugin

In Claude Code, run:

/plugin marketplace add tradesteward/claude-plugin
/plugin install tradesteward@tradesteward

The first line adds tradeSteward's plugin list to Claude Code, and the second installs the plugin from it. To update the plugin later, run /plugin marketplace update tradesteward.

Sign in

  1. Run /mcp and choose tradesteward.
  2. Sign in to your tradeSteward account in the browser window that opens. Claude Code never sees your password or your broker logins.
  3. On the consent page, choose exactly what Claude may do, then select Allow.

Choose What a Connection May Do explains each permission on the consent page. Afterwards the connection has its own card on Connected Apps, where you can change it or disconnect it.

The skills it adds

A skill is a set of steps Claude follows for one job, so it does the job the same careful way each time:

  • review-bot-performance: how your bots have traded, from profit and loss and win rate to the trades behind the numbers.
  • analyze-stop-fills: where your stops filled compared with where they were set. It changes nothing.
  • analyze-fill-slippage: where your entries and stops filled inside the bid and ask, matched to Backtick's slippage and delay.
  • build-bot: turns a strategy you describe into a bot, saved switched off for you to review.
  • backtest-strategy: sets up a Backtick for a strategy you describe, runs it and reads the results.
  • backtest-to-bot: saves a position from a completed Backtick as a bot, switched off.
  • build-portfolio: a page showing how a strategy's tested cells share a number of contracts you choose.
  • build-report: turns bot or Backtick results into a page, dashboard, doc or deck.

Claude picks a skill on its own when your request fits one. You can also run one directly, for example /tradesteward:review-bot-performance, followed by your request in your own words. Ready-Made Skills and Prompts for AI Assistants and Ready-Made Report Workflows and Resources walk through each skill step by step.

The connector without the plugin

To add only the connector, without the skills, run this instead. The last part lets large answers download faster:

claude mcp add --transport http tradesteward https://api.tradesteward.com/mcp --header "Accept-Encoding: gzip"

Then run /mcp, choose tradesteward and sign in as above.

Connected? The next step, Choose What a Connection May Do, skips the other assistants; they stay in the step list if you use more than one.
