PLANTATION, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 13, 2026--

TradeStation Securities, Inc. (“TradeStation Securities”), an award-winning †, self-clearing online brokerage firm for trading stocks, options, futures, and futures options, announced the release of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) connection, built by its affiliate TradeStation Technologies, Inc. The initial release is configured to work with Claude, an AI assistant developed by Anthropic, PBC, with enhancements coming soon to work with additional popular AI platforms for users to choose from. Building on TradeStation’s reputation for delivering high-end trading technology and reliable brokerage services, the new service underscores the company’s commitment to sophisticated traders.

TradeStation is working to redefine what it means to trade in the modern era, evolving to deliver next-generation solutions designed to empower its customers. The company’s latest development enables users to connect AI assistants to their TradeStation accounts, giving them an exciting new way to interact with their trading tools and the market. Some of these AI assistants have features that allow for a conversational trading experience and may be able to assist with certain analysis of account positions or automate actions for traders.*

“Conversation is often the crucible of ideas. Our MCP connection marks a truly exciting, major step forward in bringing more intuitive, conversational experiences to our customers,” said John Bartleman, President and CEO of TradeStation Group, Inc. “By connecting AI assistants to the TradeStation ecosystem, customers can customize their experience like never before to execute their strategies. This puts traders in the driver’s seat, allowing them to focus their attention on innovation and strategy, not learning and managing tools. As AI continues to impact how traders think and execute, it’s crucial that the services we offer evolve with them, and this is just one big step in that journey.”

TradeStation’s MCP connection is now available to customers, subject to applicable account minimums and approvals. Access to Claude through the TradeStation MCP requires users to have an active Claude Pro subscription, which can be obtained directly through Anthropic.
