Claude trading skills + OpenFinance: from analysis to execution
Short answer: Most Claude trading skills (SKILL.md packs on GitHub) only analyse: they screen charts, read news and size positions. To act on that analysis, add OpenFinance as Claude's MCP server (
https://api.openfinance.tech/agent/mcp). Claude can then trade crypto perps, onchain stocks and forex, memecoins and prediction markets in one place. Setup takes under 60 seconds and OpenFinance needs no KYC.
MCP URL: https://api.openfinance.tech/agent/mcp · Setup in under 60 seconds · no KYC on OpenFinance itself (a connected IBKR or Robinhood account uses your own verified broker account) · fund with a debit card · crypto perps, onchain stocks and forex, memecoins, prediction markets, options in the OpenFinance app through your connected IBKR or Robinhood account · everything on Hyperliquid is tradable · API key available
Skills vs MCP servers
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts Claude loads for a task, such as a day-trading checklist. An MCP server gives Claude live tools such as quotes, balances and orders. Use both: the skill decides, OpenFinance executes.
