Webull has launched
its Model Context Protocol server, a system that enables clients to
interact with its OpenAPI using natural-language commands instead of
programming code.
The move comes as
brokerages and trading platforms accelerate efforts to adopt MCP infrastructure
in trading systems. Last month, Spotware
introduced MCP servers for cTrader, allowing AI agents to execute trades
and manage positions through natural-language instructions.
Natural Language Trading Access Expands via
MCP Server
Webull said the MCP
server has been available since April and has already been used by active
traders over the past two months. The system allows artificial intelligence
agents to connect directly with Webull’s trading infrastructure and perform
tasks based on plain-language instructions.
The MCP server extends
access to trading tools previously used mainly by developers and quantitative
traders, and it enables users without programming knowledge to access functions
that once required technical expertise. It added that the service is currently
available to all U.S. clients and will be expanded to additional markets in the
future.
Anthony Denier, Group
President and U.S. CEO of Webull, said AI is reshaping how investors interact
with markets and that MCP forms part of the company’s broader strategy.
MCP Standard Connects AI Trading
The functions include
querying real-time market data, viewing account balances and positions, placing
and managing orders, and reviewing order history and order details.
The launch reflects a
broader industry shift toward integrating artificial intelligence tools into
retail trading platforms. The MCP standard allows AI systems to communicate
with brokerage infrastructure and execute trading-related actions based on user
instructions.
“AI is fundamentally
changing how investors can engage with markets,” Denier said.
He added that the firm
sees the system as a way to reduce barriers to advanced trading tools, calling
it “a foundational capability for the next generation of self-directed
investors.”
