Last updated June 2026
Short answer
An MCP connector lets an AI assistant read your real brokerage data (and, where allowed, place trades you approve) instead of guessing. This hub covers what MCP connectors are, how to connect each major broker, whether it is safe, and the best finance MCP servers. Walnut is not an investment adviser.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is how a chat assistant plugs into an outside system like your broker. These guides explain the concept, walk through connecting each broker, and cover the safety model.

FAQ
What is an MCP connector?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets an AI assistant plug into an outside system. A brokerage MCP connector lets an assistant read your holdings and, where the broker allows, place trades you approve, instead of reasoning from what you paste in.
Is it safe to connect my brokerage to an AI?
It depends on how access works. Prefer a regulated aggregator, read-only access by default, money that stays at your own broker, and approval required for any trade. See our guide on whether it is safe to connect your brokerage to an AI.
Which brokers can I connect to an AI assistant?
Coverage varies by tool. This hub has per-broker guides for Robinhood, Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, E*Trade, Webull, Public, SoFi, Merrill Edge, and Interactive Brokers.
Do I need to build my own MCP server?
Usually not. For most investors a hosted connector is simpler and safer than building one. The listicles here compare the finance MCP options. Walnut is not an investment adviser.
Walnut is informational and is not an investment adviser. Product features, pricing, and availability change; verify current details on each provider's site before deciding. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security.
