Agentic portfolio analysis and trading-research workflows for IBKR MCP, TWS, and IB Gateway.

ibkr turns your local IB Gateway or TWS session into structured account and market context for the terminal, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Zed, and other MCP hosts. It is the local ibkr mcp TWS bridge for portfolio review, exposure mapping, options diagnostics, market-regime checks, scanner-driven research, watchlist monitoring, and position-sizing math.

For MCP users, ibkr mcp is a local IBKR workflow layer for semi-professional retail traders who want agentic portfolio and trading-research analysis on live broker data. The bundled MCP surface is deliberately no-broker-write: it can analyze and size plans, and it can draft preview-only stock/ETF LMT orders, but it cannot place, modify, cancel, or transmit broker orders.

Use it from a shell:

ibkr status
ibkr positions --by underlying
ibkr regime
ibkr canary
ibkr market-events --symbol GME --json
ibkr watch IBM --add
ibkr watch
ibkr calendar --market us --date 2026-05-25
ibkr quote SPY --watch
ibkr size --symbol AAPL --entry 207.50 --stop 202.50 --risk-pct 1
ibkr settings show

Or connect it to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Zed, or any MCP host and ask:

"What's in my IBKR account?"

"Review my portfolio and rank the risks I should look at today."

"Show my AAPL exposure, including option deltas."

"How does the market regime look today?"

"Should I hold, watch, de-lever, or liquidate risk?"

"Is Xetra open on Whit Monday?"

"If I buy 100 MSFT at 418 with a stop at 408, what's my EUR risk?"

Your account data stays on the machine running IB Gateway or TWS unless you choose to send it to an MCP host. The project ships as one Go binary with a CLI, a local MCP server, and a Go library. No Python runtime, Java runtime, or hosted service is required.

Prerequisites. A running IB Gateway 10.37+ or TWS (paper or live) on the same machine. Auto-discovered on the four standard ports. An IBKR Pro account (IBKR Lite cannot use the TWS API).

Download the latest MCP Bundle:

https://github.com/osauer/ibkr/releases/latest/download/ibkr.mcpb

Open the .mcpb file with Claude Desktop, drag it into Claude Desktop, or use Settings -> Extensions -> Advanced settings -> Install Extension. Quit Claude completely and relaunch it after installation.

The MCPB bundles the ibkr binary for macOS and Linux, runs it locally through stdio, and does not require a separate shell install. Windows Claude Desktop is not supported because ibkr has no native Windows daemon; WSL works through the shell install path below.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osauer/ibkr/main/install.sh | sh
ibkr setup claude-desktop

The installer downloads the release for your OS and architecture, verifies the checksum, installs ibkr in ~/.local/bin, and adds that directory to your shell rc when needed. On macOS, it also clears Gatekeeper quarantine.

ibkr setup claude-desktop writes the legacy MCP server entry to Claude Desktop. Prefer the MCPB path above for Claude Desktop unless you specifically want one shared shell-managed binary. Skip the setup command if you only want the shell tool.

For v1.0.0+ releases, the installer, ibkr update, and the MCPB release asset are covered by the signed SHA256SUMS file. The MCP Registry metadata also carries the MCPB file SHA-256. Other install paths.

• Account and positions. Net liquidation, buying power, cash, margin, daily P&L, positions, option Greeks, per-underlying grouping, and portfolio-level delta/theta/gamma/vega rollups. Multi-currency accounts include FX exposure.
• Quotes and history. Snapshot quotes, coalesced stock/ETF streaming, daily OHLCV bars, previous close, day change, and data freshness (live, frozen, delayed, delayed-frozen).
• Official market calendars. US cash equities, US listed options regular sessions, and German Xetra cash equities with holidays, early closes, next open/close, and quote session_context when calendar state explains stale or missing data.
• Local watchlist. Add/remove/clear symbols offline, list them as JSON, show an enriched quote monitor with price, currency, changes, ranges, volume, timestamps, and held-stock context, or poll the saved list with ibkr watch --watch.
• Options. Expiry lists with ATM IV and implied move, strike grids with call/put quotes, deltas, and open interest. Option snapshots are supported; option streaming is not exposed.
• Scanners. Built-in market scans for movers, losers, unusual volume, gaps, high IV rank, and option volume. Agents can also compose ad-hoc scans without writing config.
• Position sizing. Fixed-fractional sizing against live NLV, with optional target, R-multiple, and breakeven win rate. Pure math; never an order ticket.
• Market breadth. S&P 500 participation from constituent daily bars: percent above 50-DMA, percent above 200-DMA, and fresh 52-week highs/lows. A fresh cache is instant; first-ever cold start can take about an hour because of IBKR pacing.
• Dealer gamma. Production-ready SPX/SPXW-canonical zero-gamma and concentration view, with SPY used as corroborating context when its option surface is usable. A fresh, rankable SPX result is the stable headline signal; SPY-only is a labeled proxy. Treat the signed level as a regime hint, not a precise trading level.
• Risk regime. One call returns the eight-row dashboard: VIX term structure, VVIX, HYG/SPY divergence, HY/IG OAS, funding spread, USD/JPY weekly move, SPX-canonical dealer gamma, and S&P 500 breadth. Heavy rows report computing instead of pretending stale data is fresh.
• Portfolio canary. ibkr canary and MCP ibkr_canary produce a stateless market regime × portfolio shape monitor with action, market_confirmation, portfolio_fit, input_health, planner readiness, stable fingerprints, and supporting signals[]. It also emits bounded portfolio.held_stress[] rows for material held underlyings when existing positions data shows held-name daily P&L shock, near-expiry held-option delta concentration, or held-name liquidity degradation. Account-only risk stays evidence, not a canary DEFEND trigger; DEFEND requires confirmed market pressure, vulnerable portfolio fit, and clean enough inputs. Use ibkr canary --details for the full evidence rows.
• Market-event flags. ibkr market-events and MCP ibkr_market_events annotate held or requested stock/ETF symbols with borrow inventory, extreme borrow fee, Nasdaq Reg SHO threshold-list, LULD pause, and regulatory/news halt context. Flags are context and proposal gates: active halt/LULD can block protection proposals, borrow stress can strengthen short buy-to-cover context, and unknown sources remain unknown rather than false.
• Platform settings. ibkr settings show and MCP ibkr_settings report runtime preferences, trading/build capability, account mode, and compact observed market-data quality with access, source, and read-only reasons. ibkr settings set features.purge_restore.enabled=false disables purge/restore write actions while leaving purge status readable.

Every data command supports --json. ibkr restart --json is also useful for scripts: it reports whether a daemon was already running, old/new PIDs, whether --force was used, the post-start status.health snapshot, and any app process it refreshed. Lifecycle commands such as setup, update, restart, mcp, and daemon are for local operation and transport setup.

For schemas and edge cases, see the agent skill schema notes, MCP tools reference, MCP resources reference, configuration reference, and concept docs.

For ready-to-run prompts, see examples/ibkr_portfolio_analysis_prompt.md for portfolio review and examples/ibkr_portfolio_canary_prompt.md for scheduled stress checks.

ibkr mcp starts a local stdio MCP server. MCP hosts can call the same account, watchlist, quote, calendar, position, scanner, sizing, regime, canary, and preview-only order-draft tools that the CLI exposes as JSON. The order preview surface can mint a local non-submitting preview token, but it cannot place, modify, cancel, or transmit broker orders. Watchlist access through MCP can return either the saved symbols or enriched quote rows; local lifecycle verbs such as setup, update, restart, mcp, daemon, and version stay outside the MCP tool set.

The server also exposes quotes for stocks and ETFs as an MCP resource:

• ibkr://quote/{symbol}

resources/read returns one snapshot for that URI; resources/subscribe delivers coalesced ticks via notifications/resources/updated until you resources/unsubscribe or close the stdio. The resource shape is documented in docs/reference/mcp-resources.md.

For Claude Desktop, the recommended install path is the .mcpb asset from the latest release. For other clients, paste this into the client's MCP config (path varies):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ibkr": {
      "command": "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/ibkr",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The command must be the absolute path. ~ is not expanded by exec and $PATH is not consulted. which ibkr gives you the right value. After upgrading the binary, fully quit and relaunch the client — it caches the spawned server process. MCPB installs carry their own embedded binary; reinstall the new .mcpb release to update that path.

claude.ai (web) accepts only remote MCP servers and cannot reach a local IB Gateway. Use Desktop.

Logs (macOS, Claude Desktop): ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-ibkr.log.

Inside a standalone Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add osauer/ibkr
/plugin install ibkr@ibkr

Or — for Claude for Mac's embedded Claude Code pane, which doesn't expose /plugin slash commands — from a regular terminal:

claude plugin marketplace add osauer/ibkr
claude plugin install ibkr@ibkr

The plugin carries a skill, a PreToolUse hook that permits preview/status order reads, blocks shell command chaining, and refuses broker-write verbs unless the daemon reports a paper-ready trading state — live, disabled, blocked, and unknown states are always refused (failing closed if jq is missing from PATH) — and a SessionStart hint when the binary isn't installed. The skill's allowed-tools pre-allows the read and preview-only patterns once the skill activates. For a global allowlist that fires before the skill activates, merge settings/ibkr.settings.json into ~/.claude/settings.json by hand — it is permissions-only: read/preview patterns are allowed, and broker-write verbs plus destructive purge/daemon maintenance carry explicit deny rules.

The plugin doesn't ship the binary. It only carries the skill, hooks, and manifest — you still need the ibkr binary on PATH from Install. The two have independent release cadences and independent update paths:

# Binary release (new MCP tool descriptions are baked into the binary):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osauer/ibkr/main/install.sh | sh

# Plugin release (new skill commands, settings, hooks):
claude plugin update ibkr@ibkr

Restart the host (Claude for Mac, standalone Claude Code session, Cursor, …) after either update so it respawns the MCP server subprocess with the new descriptions and reloads the skill at the next session start.

ibkr app serves a paired PWA for iPhone-sized checks when you are away from the desk: daemon status, account and positions, market context, canary state, alerts, and settings. The app has Monitor, Positions (coming later), Alerts, and Settings tabs; Settings can toggle purge/restore write actions and shows trading/build/market-data state. Start it on the Mac running TWS or IB Gateway, then run ibkr app pair and scan the QR code.

For access away from the LAN without router setup, run ibkr app --remote to use the Cloudflare Worker relay at remote.osauer.dev, then run ibkr app pair as usual.

See web/app/README.md for the short operator notes and docs/design/mobile-app-mvp.md for the MVP design.

pkg/ibkr speaks the TWS API protocol directly:

import "github.com/osauer/ibkr/pkg/ibkr"

cfg := ibkr.DefaultConfig()    // 127.0.0.1:4001
cfg.Port = 4002                // paper

c := ibkr.NewConnector(&ibkr.ConnectorConfig{
    ServiceName: "myapp",
    PoolConfig:  &ibkr.PoolConfig{ClientIDs: []int{15}, BaseConfig: cfg},
})
if err := c.Start(ctx); err != nil { return err }

snap, _ := c.RequestAccountSummary(ctx, 5*time.Second)
fmt.Printf("NLV: %.2f %s\n", *snap.NetLiquidation, snap.Currency)

From Python, TypeScript, or Rust, shell out to the CLI: subprocess in, JSON out. Wrap each ibkr <cmd> --json invocation as a function and register it with your model's tool-call API.

ibkr runs local commands against one background daemon.

When you run a CLI command or an MCP tool, it connects to the daemon over a Unix socket. The daemon keeps the IB Gateway or TWS connection open, caches contract details, manages quote subscriptions, and returns JSON responses. It starts on first use and exits after 15 minutes of inactivity unless you run it in the foreground.

CLI or MCP host -> local ibkr daemon -> IB Gateway or TWS -> your account data

Use ibkr restart after upgrading, changing daemon-loaded config, or when you want to clear stale gateway connection state. It sends SIGTERM, waits for cleanup, starts a fresh daemon, reports the new process, then refreshes any already-running ibkr app host while preserving app flags such as --remote. If no daemon was running, it starts one and says so; if no app host was running, it leaves the app stopped. ibkr restart --force escalates to SIGKILL only after the graceful timeout. This restarts the shared daemon used by CLI and MCP tool calls; it does not restart the ibkr mcp stdio process itself, which is owned by the MCP host. Fully relaunch the host when you need it to respawn MCP from a new binary or bundle.

This means your shell, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients can share one IBKR connection and one client ID. Tool calls stay fast because the gateway session is already open.

pkg/ibkr is a clean-room Go implementation of the read-side TWS protocol. Full coverage details live in docs/reference/protocol.md, and the public package docs live in pkg/ibkr/doc.go.

For normal read-only use, no config file is required. The daemon TCP-probes 4001 (Gateway live), 4002 (Gateway paper), 7496 (TWS live), 7497 (TWS paper), picks the first responder, and falls over to alternates if the first one accepts TCP but never completes the handshake. The account is auto-detected via managedAccounts. Default client ID is 15.

config.toml means "active local overrides." Create it only when you want to pin something. Anything present in this file is binding; anything omitted stays auto-detected. Default path: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ibkr/config.toml, falling back to ~/.config/ibkr/config.toml.

Runtime platform preferences are daemon-owned and live at $XDG_STATE_HOME/ibkr/platform-settings.json, falling back to ~/.local/state/ibkr/platform-settings.json. This file stores ibkr-owned preferences only, such as features.purge_restore.enabled; gateway pins, trading mode, account, client ID, and MCP trading mode stay in TOML/build-controlled surfaces.

For example, this read-only config pins TWS live and leaves everything else automatic:

[gateway]
port = 7496

The fuller example below shows the available read-only pins:

[gateway]
host       = "127.0.0.1"
port       = 4001          # binding: skip the probe
client_id  = 15
account    = ""            # empty = auto-detect via managedAccounts
tls        = false         # binding: no TLS fallback

[daemon]
idle_timeout = "15m"
log_level    = "info"

[scans.top-movers]
type     = "TOP_PERC_GAIN"
exchange = "STK.US.MAJOR"
limit    = 20

ibkr status shows what the daemon ended up using and where each value came from (pinned or discovered).

TLS semantics. A pinned tls value (true or false) is strict. An omitted tls means "auto": plain first, TLS on no-handshake-data.

Trading config is opt-in and experimental. Stable ibkr releases are read-only. Trading builds, when built or published separately, are experimental and provided as-is for explicit operator testing. Keep trading config inactive as ~/.config/ibkr/config.toml.trading; it has no effect with that suffix. To activate it, a human or explicitly instructed local agent removes the .trading suffix so the file becomes ~/.config/ibkr/config.toml, verifies the pinned account and endpoint, then runs ibkr restart. The example template lives at examples/config.toml.trading.

Strict keys. Unknown top-level keys or sections fail at startup with a message that names them — your config can't silently drop fields. Supported sections: [gateway], [daemon], [trading], [spx], [scans.<name>].

Two paths, depending on who's calling:

Humans — add a preset to config.toml. Use this when you want a stable shorthand you'll call by name:

[scans.tech-gainers]
type     = "TOP_PERC_GAIN"
exchange = "STK.NASDAQ"
limit    = 25

Then ibkr scan tech-gainers. Caveat: writing any [scans.*] block makes the seven built-in defaults disappear — the [scans] table is replace-not-merge. Copy the defaults from internal/config/config.go into your file if you want to keep them. Run ibkr restart for new presets to be visible.

Agents — use the ad-hoc form, no config write needed:

ibkr scan --type TOP_PERC_GAIN --exchange STK.NASDAQ --limit 25 --json
ibkr scan --type TOP_PERC_GAIN --exchange STK.EU.IBIS --instrument STOCK.EU --limit 25 --json

Ad-hoc rows are capped at 50 (vs. preset's user-set limit) to keep an agent from accidentally pulling thousands.

Finding the right scanCode and locationCode. The TWS Market Scanner UI hides these strings behind human labels. Dump your gateway's actual catalog with:

ibkr scan params --instrument STK [--json]

The catalog varies by gateway version and by your market-data subscriptions — scanCodes like HIGH_OPT_IMP_VOLAT_OVER_HIST require US options data, and European stock locations often require --instrument STOCK.EU instead of the US default STK. --instrument STK narrows to US stock scans; omit for everything. Add --raw to get the full XML (~200 KB–2 MB) if you need a less-common field. There's no need to memorize the values — the catalog is the source of truth.

ibkr is the stable no-broker-write line. It exposes read tools plus preview-only stock/ETF order drafts; preview tokens are local artifacts and are not broker orders. Experimental trading builds are separate, as-is, and not part of the stable update or MCP marketplace path. Five independent layers refuse broker writes in the stable line:

1. Default pkg/ibkr builds return ErrTradingDisabled from Connection.PlaceOrder, Connection.CancelOrder, Connector.SubmitOrder, and Connector.CancelOrder before any wire write. The raw encoder is available only to explicit downstream forks built with -tags trading.
2. The daemon's write-handler dispatch returns ErrTradingDisabled for place/cancel RPCs (internal/daemon/trading_disabled.go); preview can mint a token but reports submit_eligible=false unless broker WhatIf is accepted.
3. The bundled settings/ibkr.settings.json allowlists read/preview ibkr patterns only and carries explicit deny rules for broker-write verbs (order place/submit/execute/modify/cancel/close, proposals submit) and destructive purge/daemon maintenance.
4. The plugin's PreToolUse hook blocks shell chaining and refuses broker-write patterns unless the daemon reports a paper-ready trading state, failing closed if jq is missing from PATH.
5. A unit test in internal/mcp allows only preview/read-model order tools and refuses unallowlisted order/trade/cancel/submit/place tool names.

Per semver, v1.x keeps broker writes unavailable. Preview-only CLI, JSON, and MCP additions may appear as documented minor additions.

• go install: go install github.com/osauer/ibkr/cmd/ibkr@latest. Requires Go 1.26+.
• Claude Desktop MCPB: download ibkr.mcpb from the latest release and open it with Claude Desktop. The release also publishes ibkr-vX.Y.Z.mcpb for registry integrity and reproducible manual verification.
• Different install dir: IBKR_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh install.sh. The installer won't touch your shell rc when you override; manage PATH yourself.
• Inspect the installer first: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osauer/ibkr/main/install.sh -o install.sh && less install.sh && sh install.sh.
• Manual download: pick a tarball from the latest release. Each contains ibkr plus LICENSE and README.md. Verify SHA256SUMS.asc against the release-signing key, then verify the tarball against SHA256SUMS; see SECURITY.md.
• Local build: git clone … && make install.
• Self-update: ibkr update fetches the next stable release, verifies the PGP signature on SHA256SUMS, SHA-verifies the tarball, and atomically replaces ~/.local/bin/ibkr (prior binary stashed as .bak for one-step rollback). See docs/guides/updating.md for headless flag matrix, daemon-restart semantics, ibkr restart, and how the runtime S&P-500 constituent refresh works.

Windows is not supported — the daemon uses Unix-only primitives (setsid, flock, AF_UNIX sockets). WSL works.

make check      # gofmt + go vet + staticcheck + govulncheck + plugin/parity checks
make test       # check + unit tests + integration tests against a live gateway

make check is the binding gate. It fails on stdlib vulnerabilities, so an outdated Go toolchain is a build failure. The lint/vuln tools are pinned in go.mod and run via go tool, so CI and local checks use the same versions. The gate also checks that MCP tools, streaming resources, generated references, and plugin metadata stay aligned with the CLI commands.

Integration tests under test/integration/ connect to the live IB Gateway on 127.0.0.1:4001 and skip cleanly when it isn't reachable, so go test ./... doesn't hang on a laptop with no gateway. Override the port with IBKR_TEST_PORT=4002 make test.

No mock daemons. pkg/ibkr/protocoltest/ is a wire-level encoder/decoder spec used by unit tests. Behavioural verification runs against a real IB Gateway.

"gateway not responding to TWS handshake within 12s". The gateway accepts your TCP connection but never replies to the v100 handshake. Almost always the API socket is disabled. Launch TWS once, accept "Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients", quit TWS, restart Gateway. The flag carries over via shared ~/Jts/<userdir>/ibg.xml. It also silently un-ticks itself when more than one of TWS / IB Gateway / IBKR Desktop is launched against the same login — if it keeps coming back, run only one of them.

"no IBKR listener found on 127.0.0.1 ports ...". Auto-discovery probed all four standard ports and got nothing. The error message tells you which case you're in: if TWS / IB Gateway / IBKR Desktop is running, the API socket is closed (checkbox unchecked, login pending, or non-default socket port — pin it in [gateway]); if nothing is running, just start one and the daemon reconnects automatically. On a non-loopback host, set host = "192.168.x.y" explicitly — auto-discovery only probes loopback.

"none of N discovered endpoint(s) completed TWS handshake". Both Gateway and TWS are running, both accept TCP, but neither completes the API handshake. Usually a stale Gateway window from earlier in the day plus a freshly logged-in TWS. The status output names every endpoint that was tried. Quit the one you don't need.

daemon socket did not appear. The daemon crashed during startup. Check ~/.local/state/ibkr/ibkr-daemon.log. Common causes: gateway not running, configured client_id already in use, wrong port. Orphaned sockets from crashed daemons are handled automatically.

Quotes time out. Strict live entitlements, market closed. The daemon defaults to SetMarketDataType(2) (frozen), which returns the last-known price; with live only, snapshots stay empty out of trading hours. Loosen the gateway's market-data permissions.

use of closed network connection during handshake. IB Gateway rate-limits fast handshake retries. Wait ~30 seconds before restarting.

CLI vs daemon version skew warning. Run ibkr restart. It stops the old daemon and starts a new one from the current binary.

Capturing the wire protocol for diagnostics. Set IBKR_WIRE_INTERCEPTOR=1 to enable the in-process recorder; pair with IBKR_WIRE_LOG_PATH=/path/to/wire.jsonl to also persist every frame as JSON-lines. IBKR_WIRE_RING_SIZE=N sizes the in-memory ring (default 256). For raw bytes, IBKR_PACKET_LOG_TEMPLATE=/path/to/packets.bin enables the lower-level packet logger. All four are off by default. Captured frames carry account-sensitive data — see SECURITY.md §Diagnostic data sensitivity before sharing logs.
