Leverate Launches MCP for Traders to Connect ...

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 16th, 2026, FinanceWire

AI assistants have spent the past year helping traders understand the markets. Leverate’s new MCP for Traders extends that functionality to connected trading platforms.

Leverate has released MCP for Traders, connecting MCP-compatible third-party AI assistants, including Claude and ChatGPT, directly to a live trading account. Traders can ask about the market, check positions, and place orders without leaving the conversation, with nothing executed until they explicitly say yes.

The release follows the MCP for Brokers server, launched in July 2026, which opened a firm’s CRM, Broker Portal and trading platform data to the same AI assistants. That server gave AI access to the business. MCP for Traders takes the next step: giving AI access to the individual trading account and, with permission, the ability to act.

How It Works

The trader opens the AI Connector section in their platform settings and copies a connection prompt or configuration into their AI app, which then has scoped access to that one account. Fifteen trading tools sit behind the connection: ten focused on account and market data and five supporting trading account functions.

Every action runs in two phases. The assistant prepares the order and restates the instrument, direction, size, order type, price, stops and margin effect. Nothing reaches the market until the trader approves it inside their own AI application. The assistant is instructed to answer only on the connected account and the broker’s own instruments, explain trading terms neutrally, and decline requests for advice, recommendations, or predictions.

What It Gives the Broker

The demand is already there. An Investing.com survey of 938 US retail investors, published in April 2026, found that 62% use AI tools to inform their investment decisions, and 54% have used assistants such as ChatGPT for research. A broker running MCP for Traders can tell those clients that its platform connects to the assistant they already use.

Enablement sits with the broker. From the Broker Portal, a firm switches MCP for Traders on for its brand and chooses who receives it, by group, trading terms, country or a manual allowlist. Every AI-originated order is logged to Leverate CRM with its own source flag, so risk and compliance teams can distinguish it from a manual order. On prop accounts, orders placed through an assistant route through the same risk engine as any other and respect challenge and daily-loss limits. Each connection is bound to one account and secured with a token the trader controls.

For brokers, that creates a new engagement layer around the trading account. Clients can use the AI environments they are increasingly adopting, while the brokerage retains control over access, execution and visibility.

“Most brokers’ traders are already using AI. The question was whether they would use it on the broker’s own platform or somewhere else entirely. We built this so the answer can be on the platform, with the trader confirming every order and the firm able to see exactly what came from an assistant.” Ran Strauss, CEO & Co-Founder, Leverate

The way traders interact with digital tools is evolving, and the data behind it is still emerging. Leverate will publish usage figures from the first connected accounts in the coming months, showing how the feature is being used in practice.

MCP for Traders is live on Leverate’s white-label trading platform and is rolling out across the Client Portal and the wider Leverate ecosystem, with MT4/5 solutions to follow. Brokers activate it themselves, where it is off by default. Availability may vary by jurisdiction.
