Connecting your AI assistant to Coinrule
How to connect Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, or any MCP client to Coinrule with OAuth — the server URL, read vs read+write scopes, prerequisites, and managing connections.
Connecting an AI assistant to Coinrule takes a single URL and a one-time sign-in. This page covers the general flow that every MCP client follows; for click-by-click steps, see the per-client guides for Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, and other MCP clients.
Before you start
You need:
- A Coinrule Cloud account (the same one you use at cloud.coinrule.com).
- An AI client that supports remote MCP connectors with OAuth — Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, or any other MCP-compatible app.
- At least one connected exchange or broker if you want to trade live. You can also use paper trading with no exchange connected. See connecting an exchange.
The MCP server URL
Add a custom / remote MCP connector in your AI client pointing at:
https://cloud.coinrule.com/mcp
The connection flow
Add the connector URL
In your AI client's connector or integrations settings, add a custom MCP server with the URL
https://cloud.coinrule.com/mcp.Sign in with Coinrule
Your client opens a Coinrule sign-in page. Log in with your normal Coinrule account. Your AI assistant never sees your password or exchange API keys — authentication happens on Coinrule's side over OAuth 2.1.
Choose an access level
Grant either Read only or Read + Write (see below), then confirm. Your client exchanges the approval for a secure token and finishes connecting.
Start chatting
Ask your assistant to list your strategies or show your balances to confirm the connection works.
Read only vs Read + Write
At sign-in you choose how much access to grant:
| Access level | Scope | What the assistant can do |
|---|---|---|
| Read only | coinrule:read | List and inspect strategies, read balances and holdings, view trades, signals, PnL, and backtests. Cannot place or change trades. |
| Read + Write | coinrule:read + coinrule:write | Everything in Read only, plus create, launch, update, start, and stop strategies, launch baskets, and run backtests. |
Start with Read only if you just want to ask questions about your account. Choose Read + Write when you want the assistant to launch or manage trading for you. You can reconnect at a different access level at any time. For the full breakdown, see scopes and permissions.
Read + Write can place real trades
With Read + Write on a live exchange, your AI assistant can launch strategies that trade real funds. Review what you ask it to do, and start on paper trading if you want to try things risk-free.
Managing and revoking connections
Every connected assistant is listed in Settings → Integrations in the Coinrule web app. From there you can see each connection's access level and revoke it instantly — revoking immediately stops that assistant from reaching your account.
