Setup
Before You Start
What you need before connecting any MCP client to MT-MCP.
Every client-specific guide in this section assumes two things are already true:
- Your Expert Advisor is installed on your MT4/5 terminal and has connected to the cloud at least once (see the EA install steps in your dashboard's onboarding flow).
- You have a terminal key — not your account's master license key. If you don't have one yet, go to Generating a Terminal Key first; every other guide in this section depends on it.
Then pick your client:
All of the hosted-server guides use the same underlying mechanism: a bearer-token Authorization header carrying your terminal key, sent to the hosted MCP endpoint. The only thing that changes between clients is where that configuration lives.
