Is Longbridge MCP safe to connect to an AI agent?
AI can trade directly. Safety 68%
What an AI agent can do
- Live vs paper: live trading tools (place/modify/cancel); paper trading accounts work too, except on Longbridge US accounts, which have no paper account source
- Order approval: hosted; vendor advises start read-only, enable trading after scope config; 160+ tools; two-step order flow: submit, replace and cancel orders, fund orders (submit/cancel) and grid orders first return a code that the agent sends back to execute; the code is single-use, expires in 10 minutes and applies only to that exact order, and since v0.14.0 (Oct 16) it covers every field that changes what is traded; DCA and multi-leg orders still execute on the first call; since v0.15.0 (Oct 26) the account and order tools also work on Longbridge US accounts source
- Markets: quotes/depth, fundamentals, options, warrants
- Pricing: Trading, account, fundamentals and news APIs are free; only real-time quote permissions (e.g. HK LV2, OPRA) are paid add-ons
Safeguards that exist
- Order approval or confirmation options: Only limits or read-only modes, no per-order approval source
- Paper, demo or testnet mode: Paper account usable through the MCP service (official docs) source
- Withdrawal permission needed or allowed: Capability list (market data, account, trading, alerts) has no withdrawal or transfer tool (official docs) source
- Scoped keys, permission scopes or IP whitelisting: Scoped access (scopes, read-only mode, dedicated or separate account) source
- Open source or audited: Open source source
Safeguards that are missing
- Can it place live orders unattended?: Can place live orders with no documented approval step source
