Is Axi MCP (MT5) safe to connect to an AI agent?
Approval is optional. Safety 75%
What an AI agent can do
- Live vs paper: live and demo MT5 accounts; MT4 and Axi trading platform accounts can't connect source
- Order approval: alpha; hosted at mcp.axi.com/mcp; OAuth with Axi login; Claude only; each trade action needs approval in chat unless you set that action to "Always allow"; cannot transfer funds source
- Markets: Axi MT5 account instruments (live prices, candles, positions, orders)
- Pricing: no Axi fee mentioned; works on Claude's free plan (one custom connector)
Safeguards that exist
- Can it place live orders unattended?: Approval is your AI client's tool prompt; Axi notes some settings ('Always allow') let trades run without separate confirmation source
- Order approval or confirmation options: Approval/confirmation step documented source
- Paper, demo or testnet mode: Paper, demo or testnet mode available source
- Withdrawal permission needed or allowed: Can't withdraw or move your funds (you sign or withdrawals stay off) source
- Scoped keys, permission scopes or IP whitelisting: Read-only and trading tools are listed separately so you can set per-tool permission rules; access can be revoked (official docs) source
Safeguards that are missing
- Open source or audited: No public source code in our listing source
