Have you ever wished you could ask an AI Assistant to analyze your portfolio and tell you how your stocks are doing today? With the latest release of Kite MCP (Model Context Protocol) from Zerodha, that future is here. The MCP lets you connect your Zerodha account with Claude and ask it to work for you. This connection allows investors to chat with their portfolio and ask complex market questions, all in simple English. Whether you are a seasoned trader or a complete beginner, this integration will completely change your investing workflow. In this guide, we will deep dive into the integration of Zerodha Kite MCP server with Claude and learn how to transform our investment workflow using it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding Kite MCP<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kite MCP acts as a connector between your LLM (Large Language Model) and the external tools available, in a structured way. It is like a standardized way for LLMs to talk to or work with external systems, making it easier to perform multi-step tasks. The MCP<\/a> also acts like a contextual data layer that allows AI to see the live data.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"MCP<\/figure>\n

The traditional Kite API gives us structured data based on manual queries. We would then have to analyze the results and get the insights ourselves. Now with Kite MCP, we can instantly ask portfolio queries through natural language prompts like \u201cWhat\u2019s my P&L today?\u201d. Claude can give you personalized responses to such queries based on your use case and context.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is possible as the Kite MCP allows Claude to access all the portfolio-related tools and use them when required. So, now, Claude can analyse our holdings, our previous orders, our P&L, and much more. Together, Zerodha\u2019s Kite MCP and Claude<\/a>, give us a powerful AI investing assistant built directly into our workflow with a single line of code.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step-by-Step Integration of Kite MCP and Claude<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s how you can integrate Kite MCP with Claude and use it as your personal stock trading assistant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1: Installing Node.js\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

First, you need to download the Node from the official website <\/span>https:\/\/nodejs.org\/en\/download<\/span><\/a> based on the operating system you are using.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Downloading<\/figure>\n

Once downloaded, verify its installation using the following command:<\/span><\/p>\n

# Verify npm version:\nnpm -v # Should print the downloaded version<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 2: Configuring Claude Desktop for MCP<\/span><\/h3>\n
The next step is to set up the configuration file for Claude. Note that the configuration file is unique for each client.<\/span><\/p>\n
Since we are using Claude\u2019s desktop app, we will need to edit Claude\u2019s configuration file. To do this:<\/span><\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Go to Claude Settings.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Then go to the Developer Section.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Click on \u201cEdit Config\u201d.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \"Configuring<\/figure>\n
      \n
    1. Look for \u201c<\/span>claude_desktop_config.json<\/span><\/i>\u201d. If the file isn\u2019t already there, please create it with the same name.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \"Connecting<\/figure>\n
        \n
      1. Place the following code inside it and save the file. This code contains the link for the Kite MCP that Claude will use to access the remote tools.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        {\n   \"mcpServers\": {\n       \"kite\": {\n           \"command\": \"npx\",\n           \"args\": [\"mcp-remote\", \"https:\/\/mcp.kite.trade\/sse\"]\n       }\n   }\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. Now, restart the Claude Desktop Application, and you will be able to see all the MCP tools available.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \"Connecting<\/figure>\n
          Step 3: Testing the Integration<\/span><\/h3>\n
          Now that we have successfully added the Zerodha Kite MCP server to Caude, it\u2019s time to test it out.<\/span><\/p>\n
          1. Accessing the Latest Data Using Kite MCP<\/span><\/h4>\n
          Prompt:<\/strong> \u201cGive me data for nifty 50 for last 20 days with kite\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
          Output:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
          \"stock<\/figure>\n
          When we put in the query, Claude successfully detects the Kite MCP AI tools and starts to list which tools it would use. It then asks us to log in to Kite with the link. Once we click on the link and fill in our account details, we will be logged in. Then return to Claude and type \u201cDone\u201d and it will answer your query utilizing the provided tools.<\/span><\/p>\n
          \"stock<\/figure>\n
          2. Checking Portfolio Details<\/span><\/h4>\n
            \n
            Prompt:<\/strong> \u201cWhat is my profit in Kite for the day?\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
            Output:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
            \"stock<\/figure>\n
            Again, it will ask you to log in; follow the previous steps to do so. Type \u201cDone\u201d and it will answer you using Zerodha AI.<\/span><\/p>\n
