How to Connect an AI Assistant to Coinrule MCP

Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or another compatible AI assistant to Coinrule MCP using OAuth and choose the right access level.

You can connect a compatible AI assistant to Coinrule MCP by adding the official remote MCP server URL, signing in to your Coinrule account, and choosing Read only or Read + Write access. The connection uses OAuth 2.1, so your assistant does not receive your Coinrule password or exchange API keys.

This guide explains the general connection process. For client-specific instructions, see the dedicated guides for  ChatGPT ,  Claude , and  Grok .

You can also review the central  Coinrule MCP documentation  or the  Coinrule MCP overview  before getting started.

What do you need before connecting an AI assistant to Coinrule MCP?

Before you begin, you need:

A live exchange connection is not required for paper trading.

Coinrule documents specific connection flows for Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok, as well as a more technical setup route for other compatible MCP clients.

What is the Coinrule MCP server URL?

Add the following URL as a custom or remote MCP connector in your AI client:

https://cloud.coinrule.com/mcp

Use the URL exactly as shown.

Adding extra path segments or query parameters can cause the connection URL to be rejected.

How do you connect an AI assistant to Coinrule MCP?

Step 1: Open your AI assistant's connector settings

Open the area of your AI client used to manage integrations, connectors, apps, custom tools, or remote MCP servers.

The exact interface depends on the client you are using.

For example, Coinrule provides dedicated setup guides for ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok.

Step 2: Add the Coinrule MCP server

Create a new custom or remote MCP connection and enter:

https://cloud.coinrule.com/mcp

Compatible clients use this connection to start the Coinrule authentication process.

Step 3: Sign in to Coinrule

Your AI client should open a Coinrule sign-in page.

Log in using your normal Coinrule account.

Authentication happens through Coinrule using OAuth 2.1. Your AI assistant does not receive the password you enter or your exchange API keys.

Step 4: Choose your access level

During the connection process, choose either Read only or Read + Write.

Read only grants the coinrule:read permission. The assistant can use supported tools to inspect strategies, balances, holdings, trades, signals, PnL, and backtests, but cannot place or change trades.

Read + Write grants coinrule:read and coinrule:write. It adds access to supported actions including creating, launching, updating, starting, and stopping strategies, launching baskets, and running backtests.

For a complete explanation, see  Coinrule MCP Permissions and Security .

Step 5: Approve the connection

Confirm the requested permission level on the Coinrule consent screen.

The scope choice happens on Coinrule's side rather than being controlled solely inside the AI client's chat interface.

Step 6: Test your Coinrule MCP connection

Start with a simple Read request.

For example:

List my Coinrule strategies.

or:

Show my Coinrule balances.

This helps confirm that your assistant can access the Coinrule MCP tools associated with your permission level.

Should you choose Read only or Read + Write?

Choose Read only when you primarily want to ask questions about your account and monitor your trading activity.

This is suitable for workflows such as:

Choose Read + Write when you want your assistant to perform supported actions such as creating or launching strategies and managing existing trading automation.

A Read + Write connection on a live exchange can be used to launch strategies that trade real funds. Review what you ask the assistant to do and consider paper trading while you become familiar with write-enabled workflows.

Which AI assistants can connect?

Coinrule provides dedicated MCP setup documentation for:

Other clients may also connect if they support compatible remote MCP and OAuth flows.

The  Coinrule Agentic Trading MCP listing  also provides a public reference for Coinrule's official MCP server and its natural-language trading workflows.

How do you manage or revoke a Coinrule MCP connection?

Connected assistants appear under Settings → Integrations in the Coinrule web app.

From there, you can review the connection and its access level or revoke it.

Revoking a connection immediately prevents that assistant from continuing to access your account using its existing tokens.

You may also need to remove and reconnect an assistant when changing its access level or resolving certain connection issues.

What should you do after connecting?

Begin with simple informational requests before moving to more consequential actions.

For example:

Show my Coinrule portfolio balances.

List my active Coinrule strategies.

Show the recent signals generated by my strategies.

When using Read + Write, make your instructions specific.

Clearly identify details such as the venue, capital amount, and whether you intend to use paper or live trading when those details affect the action.

You can learn more about conversational workflows in Coinrule's guide to  MCP and AI trading agents .

You can also explore Coinrule's broader resources on  AI trading  and  AI trading copilots .

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a connected exchange to use Coinrule MCP?

Not for every workflow. You need a connected exchange or broker for live trading, while paper trading can be used without one.

Can I change from Read only to Read + Write later?

Yes. You can reconnect with a different access level.

What should I ask first after connecting?

A simple request such as asking the assistant to list your strategies or show your balances is a useful way to verify the connection.

Where can I revoke an AI assistant's access?

Open Settings → Integrations in Coinrule and revoke the relevant connection.
