Your AI Assistant Now Speaks EasySwing

5 min readMarch 2026EasySwing Team

What if your AI assistant could see your trading data?

Picture this: you're chatting with Claude about a trade idea, and instead of switching tabs to check the market regime, you just ask. Instead of opening EasySwing to scan for setups, you type "show me today's top breakout setups." Instead of manually logging a trade, you say "add an entry leg — 200 shares of NVDA at $128.50."

That's what EasySwing's new AI integration does. We've connected EasySwing to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and others plug directly into the tools you already use. One API key, and your AI assistant becomes an extension of your trading workflow.

What can you actually do with this?

Here are real examples — these are prompts you can type into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible assistant:

Check the market before you trade:

  • "What's the current market regime?"
  • "Show me today's top 10 signals sorted by strategy score"
  • "What does the strategy leaderboard look like?"

Scan for setups without leaving your conversation:

  • "Scan for breakout setups with grade A or better"
  • "What's the best strategy for NVDA right now with a bullish bias?"
  • "Give me the full snapshot for AAPL — price, indicators, everything"

Manage your watchlist and journal hands-free:

  • "Add CRWD to my watchlist with a target of $420 and a note: watching for pullback to 21 EMA"
  • "Create a trade cycle for NVDA LONG — entry zone 125-128, stop at 121, target 140"
  • "Add an exit leg: sold 100 shares at $138.50"

Review your performance:

  • "How's my trading performance this quarter?"
  • "What does my coach report say?"
  • "Show me my win rate by strategy"

Every one of these works today. Your AI assistant reads and writes to the same data you see in the EasySwing dashboard — watchlists, alerts, trade journal, coaching insights, all of it.

How to get started

It takes about 60 seconds:

1. Generate your API key

Go to Settings in your EasySwing dashboard. You'll see a new "MCP API Key" section. Click Generate API Key. You'll see your key once — copy it immediately.

2. Add EasySwing to your AI tool

In Claude Desktop, Cursor, or your MCP client, add this to your configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "easyswing": {
      "url": "https://mcp.easyswing.trading/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you just copied.

3. Start asking questions

That's it. Your AI assistant now has access to 24 tools across everything EasySwing offers.

What's available

Your assistant can work with all of these:

  • Market intelligence — Real-time market regime, strategy scanning, stock snapshots, strategy recommendations
  • Live signals — Today's top setups and the strategy performance leaderboard
  • Alerts — Create, update, delete, and test-fire your alerts (both strategy-mode and custom conditions)
  • Trade journal — Full trade cycle management: create cycles, log entries and exits, track P&L and R-multiples
  • Watchlist — Add, remove, and annotate symbols on your watchlist
  • Coaching — AI-generated insights based on your trading patterns
  • Performance — Win rate, average R, P&L breakdowns by strategy, sector, and market regime

Everything is scoped to your account. Your AI assistant can only see and modify your own data — never anyone else's.

Your data, your key

Your API key is hashed and stored securely — we never store the plaintext. You can regenerate or revoke your key at any time from Settings. Rate limits are generous: free-tier users get 100 requests per minute, Pro subscribers get 1,000.

If you're not sure about something, just ask your assistant. It knows what tools are available and can explain what each one does.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP and how does EasySwing use it?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect directly to external tools. EasySwing's MCP integration gives compatible AI clients — such as Claude Desktop and Cursor — read and write access to your EasySwing account data: market regime, live signals, trade journal, alerts, and watchlist. One API key generated from account Settings is all you need to activate it.

Which AI assistants work with the EasySwing MCP integration?

Any MCP-compatible client works, including Claude Desktop (Anthropic), Cursor, and other clients that support the MCP standard. The most common setup is Claude Desktop with EasySwing configured as an MCP server in the client's configuration file. The server connects to your EasySwing account via the API key you generate in Settings.

What can I ask my AI assistant through EasySwing MCP?

You can check the current market regime, view today's top signals by strategy score, scan for setups by strategy and grade, get a full technical snapshot for any ticker, log trade entries and exits, manage watchlist items and alerts, and review your performance metrics. All 24 tools correspond to actions available in the EasySwing dashboard — now accessible through natural language conversation.

Is the EasySwing MCP integration secure?

Yes. Your API key is hashed before storage — the plaintext is never retained. The integration is account-scoped: your AI assistant can only read and write your own data, never another subscriber's. You can regenerate or revoke your key at any time from account Settings. All requests route through EasySwing's standard authenticated API.

How do I set up the EasySwing MCP integration?

Generate an API key from the MCP API Key section in your EasySwing account Settings. Then add EasySwing as an MCP server in your AI client's configuration file, using the endpoint https://mcp.easyswing.trading/mcp with your key as an Authorization Bearer token. Full step-by-step instructions are available in your EasySwing dashboard under Settings.
