Safety score
| Input | From our listing | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Can it place live orders unattended? | NinjaTrader: depending on how your client is configured, the agent may place trades without asking for confirmation; no server-side confirmation step source | 0 / 25 |
| Order approval or confirmation options | No per-order approval; only limits: per-connection exposure and volume caps and an optional product allowlist set on the consent screen, account loss limits and auto-liquidation. estimate_order is a dry run the agent can call, not a human approval step (official docs) source | 8 / 15 |
| Paper, demo or testnet mode | Paper, demo or testnet mode available | 15 / 15 |
| Withdrawal permission needed or allowed | Accounting tools are read-only (e.g. cash_history); write tools are only orders, risk settings and alerts (official docs) source | 15 / 15 |
| Scoped keys, permission scopes or IP whitelisting | Scoped access (scopes, read-only mode, dedicated or separate account) | 10 / 10 |
| Open source or audited | No public source code in our listing | 0 / 10 |

| Order approval / safety | remote OAuth server for Tradovate and NinjaTrader users; separate Demo and Live URLs and accounts; the docs no longer carry the beta, pre-release warning (checked Oct 28, 2026); write tools (orders, risk settings) carry MCP's destructive-action hint so most clients pause for approval, but the agent may trade without asking depending on your client; orders go through the platform's normal pre-trade risk checks, estimate_order gives a dry run, and you can set per-connection exposure and volume caps and a product allowlist when you approve the connection |

Change log
- 2026-10-30 · Renamed from 'NinjaTrader MCP (beta)': NinjaTrader's MCP docs no longer carry a beta or pre-release label. The old page redirects here. Source: https://docs.ninjatrader.com/mcp.md
- 2026-10-28 · NinjaTrader's MCP docs dropped the 'Beta, pre-release' warning and now say the server is available only to Tradovate and NinjaTrader users. A new Pre-Trade Risk page says agent orders run the same server-side checks as manual orders, estimate_order is an evaluate-only dry run, and per-connection exposure/volume caps and a product allowlist can be set on the consent screen. Safety score unchanged (possible input changes are in owner review). Sources: https://docs.ninjatrader.com/mcp.md and https://docs.ninjatrader.com/mcp/pre-trade-risk.md

- 2026-10-30 Correction NinjaTrader MCP: NinjaTrader's MCP docs no longer carry a beta label, so the listing drops '(beta)' (old URL redirects). Its approval note now cites the Pre-Trade Risk page (per-connection caps, product allowlist, estimate_order dry run); the safety score is unchanged. Source
- 2026-10-28 New listing NinjaTrader MCP docs no longer label the server beta or pre-release; it is available to Tradovate and NinjaTrader users, with separate Demo and Live endpoints. Source
- 2026-10-28 Safety NinjaTrader MCP documents pre-trade risk for agent orders: the platform's normal risk engine checks every order, estimate_order is a dry run, and per-connection exposure and volume caps plus a product allowlist can be set when approving the connection. Source
- 2026-10-18 Safety Safety score changes approved from official docs: a human confirming every order now earns the full 25 points (was 20, so trading tools topped out at 95%). NinjaTrader MCP and Public MCP reclassified as 'AI can trade directly' (their docs say trades can run without per-order confirmation); Axi MCP shown as 'approval optional'. Withdrawal and key-scope inputs filled for IBKR, Longbridge, Webull, tastytrade, TradeStation, moomoo, Tradier and NinjaTrader. Source
- 2026-10-16 New listing New listings: 6 official broker MCP servers: tastytrade, Robinhood, NinjaTrader (beta), TradeStation, moomoo and Public. Source
