What is the CTP MCP Server?
The CTP MCP server is a bridge tool that allows you to access and use the CTP futures trading interface through the standard Model Context Protocol (MCP). CTP is the mainstream trading system in the Chinese futures market. This server encapsulates the complex CTP interface into a standardized service that is easier to be called by AI assistants or applications.How to use the CTP MCP Server?
You need to ensure that the necessary compiler (such as Visual Studio for Windows) is installed on your computer first, and then you can start the server through a simple command line. After starting, the AI assistant (such as Claude Desktop) or your application can communicate with the server through the MCP protocol to query market data or execute trading instructions.Applicable Scenarios
It is suitable for scenarios where you need to conduct futures market data analysis, query real - time quotes, monitor account status, or assist in trading decisions through an AI assistant (such as Claude). It provides a more user - friendly interaction entry for users who are not familiar with the complexity of the CTP API.Main Functions
CTP Interface Connection
Seamlessly connect to the official CTP trading and market data interfaces, supporting the trading gateways of major domestic futures companies.
MCP Standard Protocol
Follow the Model Context Protocol standard and can be easily integrated with any MCP - supported client (such as Claude Desktop).
Market Data Access
Provide query functions for real - time quotes, historical data, contract information, market status and other data.
Trading Function Access
Support querying account funds, positions, order status, as well as basic trading operations such as placing and canceling orders (trading permissions need to be configured).
Advantages
Standardized interface: Provide a unified and standard access method through MCP, reducing the complexity of directly using the CTP API.
AI - friendly: Designed specifically for collaborative work with AI assistants, making it possible to conduct market queries and trading assistance through natural language.
Based on a mature project: Built on vnpy_ctp, which has been widely verified in the domestic quantitative trading field and has high stability.
Cross - platform support: Can run on Windows, Linux, and Mac systems through different compiler supports.
Limitations
Strong environmental dependence: The compiler of the specified platform (such as Visual Studio) must be installed before running, which poses a certain threshold for beginners.
Requires a CTP account: You must have a real - time or simulation CTP account provided by a futures company to connect and use all functions.
Function is limited by the underlying library: Its function scope and performance depend on the implementation of the vnpy_ctp library.
Need to understand MCP: Users or integrators need to have a basic understanding of the MCP protocol to use it effectively.
How to Use
Environment Preparation
Install the corresponding compiler according to your operating system:
- Windows: Install Visual Studio and ensure that the C++ development components are available.
- Linux: Install the GCC compiler suite.
- Mac: Install the XCode command - line tools.

Installation and Configuration
Install the project dependencies and configure the server connection parameters according to your CTP account information (usually, you need to set the broker code, trading server address, account number, password, etc. in `server.py` or related configuration files).
Start the Server
Use the provided command to start the MCP server. After the server starts, it will listen for connections from MCP clients on the specified port.
Connect the Client
In your MCP client (such as configuring Claude Desktop), add this server as a tool resource. After that, you can call the functions provided by the server through natural language in the client.
Usage Examples
Query the Market Quotes of the Main Contract
The user wants to know the latest price and price change of the current main contract of rebar.
Check the Account Overview
After trading, the user wants to quickly check the total assets, available funds, and floating profit and loss of the account.
View Tradable Contracts
New users want to know which active metal futures contracts are available on the Shanghai Futures Exchange.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this server without a futures account?
Why do I need to install Visual Studio/GCC/XCode before starting?
Is this server secure? Will it directly operate my account for trading?
Can I use other programs to connect to this server besides Claude?
