MCP Server Setup Guide

​

What is the TakeProfit MCP Server?

LLMs can now write, convert, validate, and explain Indie code using the TakeProfit MCP Server. Get AI-Powered Indie Development Help:

• Ask LLM to write complete indicators from scratch based on your trading ideas
• Get explanations of complex algorithm combinations and how they work together Interactive Learning:
• Ask “how would I implement X indicator?” and get working code examples
• Understand the logic behind technical analysis through code explanations
• Learn Indie best practices through AI-guided development Examples:
• “Create a momentum indicator that combines RSI and MACD divergence”
• “Help me build a support/resistance detector using price action”
• “Explain how to implement a custom volatility-based stop loss”
• “Write an indicator that detects chart patterns like triangles”

Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

• Claude
• Claude Сode
• Cursor
• VSCode
• mcp-remote

​

Claude and Claude Desktop integration

​

Step 1: Add custom connector

1. Download, install & sign in / sign up to Claude Desktop or login using web-interface of Claude
2. Go to Settings -> Connectors in Claude or Claude Desktop and click “Add custom connector”
3. Enter the TakeProfit name and url https://mcp.takeprofit.com/mcp
4. Press Configure button for new connector, make sure all the tools are turned on and choose Allow unsupervised for all tools

​

Step 2: Verify Functionality

1. Exit the settings and return to the chat window
2. Ask to get the Indie docs TOC using TakeProfit MCP or to generate SMA indicator in Indie language and validate this using TakeProfit MCP and watch the AI execute the technical workflow for you.

​

Test Your Setup

Try asking LLM one of these questions to test the connection: “Can you show me the documentation for the RSI algorithm?” “Help me create a simple moving average indicator in Indie” “Validate this code: [paste some Indie code]” “What algorithms are available for calculating Bollinger Bands?” If the MCP server is working correctly, LLM will respond using Indie documentation and logic. Once you receive generated code, test it by pasting it into the IDE widget on the TakeProfit platform to verify that it runs without errors.

Notes

​

Claude Account Requirements

• You’ll need a Claude account to use this integration. While it technically works with any account, having a paid plan is strongly recommended so that Claude can properly handle longer prompts and return complete responses:
  • Claude Pro ($20/month): Suitable for most scripts and general usage
  • Claude Max ($100/month): Provides the largest context window, ideal for longer or complex scripts

​

Performance Notes

• Works best for code up to ~200-300 lines
• If your script is too long, try splitting it across multiple prompts or chats
• Modern LLM can usually finish or patch incomplete scripts when prompted correctly

​

Common Issues and Solutions

​

”node not found” Error

• Make sure Node.js is installed correctly
• Restart your computer after installation
• On Windows, check that Node.js is in your PATH environment variables

​

MCP Server Won’t Connect

• Check your internet connection
• Make sure the configuration file is saved correctly
• Try restarting the application
• Verify Node.js is working by running node --version in command line
