The owner of a copying service has daily brief questions: which traders are connected, what is happening with subscriptions, is copying working, what restrictions are set on the account. Now these tasks can be delegated to a compatible AI assistant via MCP — integration of CopyTrader management is already implemented.
The assistant accesses your account and project tools: reads data, helps to understand the service status, and performs available changes on your command. This is another way to work with CopyTrader, not a separate trading strategy or a promise of automatic profit.
For those developing their own service
CopyTrader is infrastructure for traders and teams organizing copy trading for their audience, including under their own brand. It is not a general marketplace that selects traders or attracts investors for you.
MCP is primarily useful for the owner of such a service. Instead of searching for the needed section, you can formulate a task like: “Show investor subscriptions in the project ‘My Service’” or “Check copying status.” The assistant obtains available data and explains it in the context of the question. If the name is ambiguous, it first clarifies the project and account.
What can be entrusted to the assistant
View projects, traders, and subscriptions. Find your own project, get a list of its accounts, and understand the connections between investors and traders.
Check the copying status. Read available information about synchronization and connection issues. This helps to start analyzing a specific situation but does not replace verification of execution on the exchange.
Review risk settings. View and, by a separate command, change the available deposit share, limits, and drawdown parameters. Before making changes, explicitly specify the project, account, and the needed values.
Get statistics. Request available balances, positions, history, and results for a selected period. The query should specify the period and the needed account, not leave the choice to the assistant at random.
Work with subscriptions and copying modes. Such actions are carried out within the commands available to your project. Changing a trader and unsubscribing may affect open positions: the user first selects what to do separately with Spot and Futures, and, if necessary, agrees to system auto-closure.
The actual set of actions and parameters is determined by the connected server. For this, MCP has the Main and copying cabinet command catalogs. For example, C034 relates to the deposit share, C044/C045 to available limits and drawdown, C062–C074 to reports and logs. These designations are needed by integrators; in a normal dialogue, it is enough to describe the task.
First request — without changes
Start like this:
Check my MCP access and show my CopyTrader projects. For now, perform read-only actions.
Then you can ask:
Show traders and investor subscriptions in the project “My Service.” Do not change anything.
Check the copying status in this project. Separately indicate what is known from the service response and what requires additional verification.
Show the trading statistics of the selected account for last month.
To prepare changes, formulate the boundary separately:
Help change the risk limits of the selected account. First read the current values, clarify parameters, and show the proposed changes. Do not save anything yet.
These are examples of commands, not pre-made operations. The assistant must read the available tools and their schemes, not substitute a missing command with arbitrary internal API calls.
How to connect
You need a CopyTrader account and a client that supports remote MCP via HTTPS Streamable HTTP and OAuth Authorization Code with PKCE S256. Server address — https://api.copytrader.pw/mcp.
In the client settings, a registered OAuth profile with the operator is used. Its Client ID and exact return URL must match the application profile: one server URL may not be enough.
Then you go through the standard CopyTrader login, get acquainted with the access area, and confirm the connection, including agreement in Telegram. After returning to the application, ask to check access and show projects. Opening the cabinet page alone does not prove that MCP is connected.
The published instructions include specific Codex settings: with this profile, login and data reading have been checked. Compatibility of OAuth for ChatGPT, Claude, and other clients needs to be tested separately. MCP protocol support in the application does not yet guarantee compatibility specifically with this connection method.
Open step-by-step instructions and Codex settings.
What rights does the connection obtain
Access applies to the Main account and all current and future own projects within the existing rights. Currently, when connecting, you cannot choose only one project or grant a separate “read-only” permission.
Therefore, the request "do not change anything" is a limitation of your command to the assistant, not a technical reduction of its rights. Connect only the client you trust and check the proposed actions.
Consent to connect does not mean each subsequent command must be separately confirmed in Telegram. Checks and confirmations provided by the cabinet for a specific operation are preserved. Passwords, codes, exchange keys, and tokens are entered only in their dedicated forms, not in correspondence with the AI.
Others’ projects and MainSettings are not accessible. The protected system account admin is read-only. Changing direct mode, inter-project subscription, and history clearing via MCP are excluded.
How to verify results and disconnect access
A response "accepted" or queuing does not yet prove execution on the exchange. After a change, the actual state needs to be reread. If the result is unknown, the original operation is first checked — it cannot be repeated automatically.
Disconnection is available in the agent connections section. Select the connection and confirm revocation. A new connection will require reauthorization and consent.
MCP adds a convenient way to manage your service but does not eliminate copying risks: commissions, liquidity, settings, and execution affect the outcome. CopyTrader does not guarantee profitability.
