About Robinhood Mcp Server
Robinhood MCP Server is an MCP server that wraps the Robinhood Crypto API for authentication, account management, market data and trading. It offers both REST and WebSocket interfaces, aimed at developers who need programmatic access to a Robinhood crypto account.
Key features
- 01Authentication status and account information
- 02Account holdings and order history queries
- 03Best bid/ask and estimated price lookups
- 04Place, query and cancel orders
- 05WebSocket subscriptions for market data and order updates
- 06Environment-based configuration with rate limiting
Use cases
- 01Checking holdings in a Robinhood crypto account
- 02Streaming real-time quotes for pairs such as BTC-USD and ETH-USD
- 03Placing or cancelling crypto orders from an MCP client
MCP support
The project is an MCP server that exposes account, market data and trading operations to MCP clients; the README does not list the MCP tools explicitly.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
docker run -i --rm -e ROBINHOOD_API_KEY -e ROBINHOOD_PRIVATE_KEY -e HOST -e PORT -e DEBUG -e LOG_LEVEL -e RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED -e RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS -e RATE_LIMIT_PERIOD robinhood-mcp-serverROBINHOOD_API_KEYSecretROBINHOOD_PRIVATE_KEYSecretHOSTPORTDEBUGLOG_LEVELRATE_LIMIT_ENABLEDRATE_LIMIT_REQUESTSRATE_LIMIT_PERIODLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Features
- REST API for account management and trading operations
- WebSocket support for real-time market data and order updates
- Comprehensive error handling and logging
- Rate limiting and security best practices
- Easy configuration via environment variables
Prerequisites
- Python 3.8 or higher
- pip (Python package manager)
- Robinhood API credentials
Installation
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/rohitsingh-iitd/robinhood-mcp-server cd robinhood-mcp-server -
Set up a virtual environment (recommended):
# Create a virtual environment python -m venv venv # Activate the virtual environment # On macOS/Linux: source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: # .\venv\Scripts\activate -
Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Configuration
-
Create a
.envfile in the project root with the following content:# Required ROBINHOOD_API_KEY=your_api_key_here ROBINHOOD_PRIVATE_KEY=your_base64_encoded_private_key_here # Optional (with defaults) HOST=0.0.0.0 PORT=8000 WEBSOCKET_PORT=8001 DEBUG=False LOG_LEVEL=INFO LOG_FILE=robinhood_mcp_server.log RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=True RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS=100 RATE_LIMIT_PERIOD=60 -
Replace the placeholder values with your actual Robinhood API credentials.
Running the Server
Start the server with the following command:
python -m src.main
This will start:
- REST API server at
http://localhost:8000 - WebSocket server at
ws://localhost:8001
Running in Production
For production use, consider using a production-grade ASGI server like Uvicorn with Gunicorn:
pip install gunicorn uvicorn[standard]
gunicorn src.main:app --worker-class uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker --bind 0.0.0.0:8000
Running the Server
Start the server with the following command:
python -m src.main
This will start both the REST API server (default port 8000) and the WebSocket server (default port 8001).
REST API Endpoints
Authentication
GET /auth/status- Check authentication status
Account
GET /account- Get account informationGET /account/holdings- Get account holdings (optional query param:asset_code)
Market Data
GET /market/best-price- Get best bid/ask price (optional query param:symbol)GET /market/estimated-price- Get estimated price for quantity (required query params:symbol,side,quantity)
Trading
GET /trading/pairs- Get available trading pairs (optional query param:symbol)GET /trading/orders- Get order history (optional query param:status)GET /trading/orders/{id}- Get order detailsPOST /trading/orders- Place a new order- Required fields:
symbol,side,quantity - Optional fields:
type,price,time_in_force,stop_price
- Required fields:
DELETE /trading/orders/{id}- Cancel an order
WebSocket API
The WebSocket server provides real-time updates for market data and order status.
Connection
Connect to the WebSocket server at:
ws://localhost:8001
Market Data Subscription
Subscribe to market data updates:
{
"type": "market_data",
"action": "subscribe",
"symbols": ["BTC-USD", "ETH-USD"]
}
Unsubscribe from market data updates:
{
"type": "market_data",
"action": "unsubscribe",
"symbols": ["BTC-USD", "ETH-USD"]
}
Order Updates Subscription
Subscribe to order updates:
{
"type": "orders",
"action": "subscribe"
}
Unsubscribe from order updates:
{
"type": "orders",
"action": "unsubscribe"
}
Ping/Pong
Send a ping to keep the connection alive:
{
"type": "ping"
}
The server will respond with:
{
"type": "pong"
}
Testing
Run the validation tests to ensure the server is working correctly:
python -m tests.test_server
Configuration Options
The following environment variables can be configured in the .env file:
ROBINHOOD_API_KEY- Your Robinhood API keyROBINHOOD_PRIVATE_KEY- Your base64-encoded private keyHOST- Server host (default: 0.0.0.0)PORT- REST API server port (default: 8000)DEBUG- Enable debug mode (default: False)LOG_LEVEL- Logging level (default: INFO)LOG_FILE- Log file path (default: robinhood_mcp_server.log)RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED- Enable rate limiting (default: True)RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS- Maximum requests per period (default: 100)RATE_LIMIT_PERIOD- Rate limit period in seconds (default: 60)
Security Considerations
- API keys and secrets are stored in environment variables, never in code
- All sensitive data is properly handled
- Input validation is implemented for all API endpoints
- Rate limiting is enforced to prevent abuse
- Proper error handling to avoid leaking sensitive information
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues:
- Check the log file for detailed error messages
- Verify your API credentials are correct
- Ensure you have proper network connectivity
- Check that the Robinhood API is available

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
