MT5 Quant
Let your agent backtest, optimize, and debug MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors on macOS or Linux without staying inside Windows-only workflows.
Overview
MT5-Quant is a MCP server for the Build phase that exposes 87 tools for backtesting, optimizing, and debugging MQL5 Expert Advisors on macOS and Linux.
What is this MCP server?
- 87 MCP tools for MT5 quant and MQL5 EA workflows
- Backtest, optimize, and debug strategies from the agent
- stdio MCP package (mcpb) for macOS arm64 with pinned fileSha256
- Configurable MT5_MCP_HOME (default ~/.config/mt5-quant)
- Repository version 1.32.4
- 87 MCP tools documented in catalog description
- Server package version 1.32.4
- stdio transport via mcpb registry with environment variable MT5_MCP_HOME
What problem does it solve?
Building and tuning MT5 EAs on Mac or Linux forces constant context switching between your agent IDE and Windows-centric MetaTrader tooling.
Who is it for?
Solo algo traders and indie quant devs shipping MQL5 EAs who already run MT5 and want agent-driven iteration on Apple Silicon or Linux.
Skip if: Builders with no MetaTrader 5 setup, casual investors who only want market news, or pure web-SaaS products unrelated to trading bots.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can run structured backtest, optimize, and debug steps against MT5 quant workflows from a single MCP-connected session.
- Agent-driven backtest and optimization runs
- Debug assistance on MQL5 EA code paths
- Repeatable quant workflow steps without manual tester clicking
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Build because the 87-tool surface is for creating and refining MQL5 strategies and EAs, not for marketing or production monitoring. Integrations subphase reflects bridging MT5, MQL5 tooling, and your coding agent on non-Windows dev machines.
How it compares
87-tool MT5 trading integration MCP, not a generic backtesting Python library skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is MT5 Quant for?
Developers automating MetaTrader 5 strategies who want Claude Code or Cursor to orchestrate backtests and EA fixes on macOS/Linux.
When should I use MT5 Quant?
Use it while writing or optimizing MQL5 EAs, running strategy tester workflows, or debugging execution logic through your agent.
How do I add MT5 Quant to my agent?
Install the mcpb release for your platform, set MT5_MCP_HOME if needed, register the stdio server in your MCP config, and ensure MT5 connectivity per project docs.
