What it is

The official server exposes Alpaca's trading and data API as MCP tools, so Claude, Cursor or any MCP client can check positions, pull data and submit orders. Point it at a paper account; it is the clearest example of MCP bridging assistants and execution.

In the maintainers' words: “Alpaca’s official MCP Server lets you trade stocks, ETFs, crypto, and options, run data analysis, and build strategies in plain English directly from your favorite LLM tools and IDEs”
