Common questions

Is MCP Server for Zerodha Kite Connect API safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Kite MCP Server

Give Claude or ChatGPT direct access to your Zerodha Kite trading account — with order placement, paper trading, options Greeks, backtesting, Telegram alerts, and 11 pre-trade safety checks. 110+ tools. Open source, MIT.

Try the hosted demo (read-only) · Self-host in 60 seconds (full trading) · Compare vs official Zerodha MCP

claude mcp add --transport http kite https://kite-mcp-server.fly.dev/mcp

Then say: *"Log me in to Kite. Show my portfolio. Backtest SMA crossover on INFY. Set an alert for RELIANCE 2% drop."*

Works inside Claude Desktop, Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT Connectors, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf — anything MCP-compliant. Complementary to Zerodha's official read-only MCP (22 tools, GTT only); this server adds order placement, alerts, paper trading, options Greeks, and analytics.

Why trust this

~9,000 tests across 493 test files (44 in deploy repo + 449 in 32 externalized algo2go/kite-mcp-* modules) — run go test ./... -count=1 in each module
Security audit: 27-pass manual analysis, 181 findings catalogued — 6 HIGH all FIXED; MEDIUM/LOW/INFO triage in progress (74 FIXED / 107 OPEN as of 2026-05-16). See SECURITY_AUDIT_FINDINGS.md for the line-item status table, SECURITY_AUDIT_REPORT.md for the original audit narrative, and SECURITY_PENTEST_RESULTS.md for pentest evidence.
AES-256-GCM encryption at rest for every sensitive value — Kite tokens, API secrets, OAuth client secrets — key derived via HKDF from OAUTH_JWT_SECRET
RiskGuard (11 pre-trade checks) — per-order value cap (Rs 50,000 default), quantity limit, daily order count (20/day), rate limit (10/min), per-second rate limit, duplicate detection (30s window), daily cumulative value cap (Rs 2,00,000), idempotency dedup, confirmation required, anomaly μ+3σ, off-hours block — plus kill switch + circuit breaker + global freeze layers + OTR-band + margin-sufficiency boundary checks. Last verified 2026-05-16 against algo2go/kite-mcp-riskguard/guard.go (16 RejectionReason constants total; 11 fire on every trade).
Per-tool-call audit trail with 90-day retention — every MCP call logged to SQLite, CSV/JSON export via dashboard
CI on every push — go build, go vet, go test -race (see .github/workflows/ci.yml)
MIT license, open source — inspect anything. Upstream attribution to Zerodha Tech preserved in LICENSE
Threat model: THREAT_MODEL.md. Security policy: SECURITY.md

Quick start

Option A — hosted demo (read-only)

Point your MCP client at:

https://kite-mcp-server.fly.dev/mcp

Order-placement tools are gated off on the hosted instance pursuant to NSE/INVG/69255 Annexure I Para 2.8. Read-only tools (portfolio, market data, backtesting, analytics) work. You still bring your own Kite developer app (per-user OAuth).

Option B — run locally (personal use, full functionality)

git clone https://github.com/Sundeepg98/kite-mcp-server && cd kite-mcp-server

cp .env.example .env # edit: set OAUTH_JWT_SECRET (required) docker compose up -d # builds Dockerfile.selfhost and starts it curl http://localhost:8080/healthz # should return "ok"

Point your client at http://localhost:8080/mcp (use --allow-http if your client requires it). Running locally against your own Kite account is the personal-use safe-harbor path — you remain the Zerodha Client; the software just helps you place orders.

Go users can skip Docker: go build -o kite-mcp-server && ./kite-mcp-server.

Option C — connect from your MCP client

Add this to your client config (~/.claude.json, claude_desktop_config.json, .vscode/mcp.json, etc.):

"mcpServers": { "kite": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://kite-mcp-server.fly.dev/mcp"] } } }

Then say: *"Log me in to Kite"* — complete the OAuth flow in your browser — then ask anything: *"Show my portfolio"*, *"Backtest SMA crossover on INFY"*, *"Enable paper trading mode"*.

New to this? Start with paper trading: *"Enable paper trading mode"* — virtual Rs 1 crore portfolio, no real money at risk.

Windows + Claude Code footnote: On Windows, cmd /c silently swallows JSON args containing escaped quotes (\"). If you need to pass static OAuth client info to mcp-remote, write the JSON to a file and reference it via --static-oauth-client-info @path/to/client-info.json instead of inline. Example client-info file lives at ~/.claude/mcp-servers/kite-fly-client.json in the canonical Windows setup.

OAuth discovery follows the standards: RFC 8414 (OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server) and RFC 9728 (OAuth 2.0 Protected Resource Metadata at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource). mcp-remote auto-discovers via these endpoints — no manual auth configuration required on the client side.

Features

Portfolio analysis — holdings, positions, margins, P&L, sector exposure (150+ stocks mapped), tax-loss harvest, concentration, dividends
Market data — quotes, LTP, OHLC, historical candles, instrument search, 10+ technical indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands)
Options — Black-Scholes Greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega, IV), option chain, 8 multi-leg strategy templates
Backtesting — 4 built-in strategies (SMA crossover, RSI reversal, breakout, mean reversion) with Sharpe ratio and max drawdown
Alerts — price above/below, percentage drop/rise, composite conditions, volume spike, Telegram delivery + native Kite GTT alerts
Paper trading — virtual Rs 1 crore portfolio, simulated orders, background LIMIT fill monitor, toggle on/off
RiskGuard — 11 pre-trade checks run before every order hits the exchange (kill switch, order value cap, quantity limit, daily count, rate limit, per-second rate limit, duplicate detection, daily notional cap, idempotency dedup, anomaly μ+3σ, off-hours block) — plus circuit breaker + global freeze layers
MCP Apps widgets — inline portfolio / orders / alerts / activity UI on claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and ChatGPT
Telegram bot — /buy, /sell, /quick, /setalert with inline keyboard confirmation; morning briefing (9 AM IST) and daily P&L (3:35 PM IST)
Order placement — place, modify, cancel, GTT, convert positions, close-all (local build only; hosted deployment is read-only)

Architecture

Clean / hexagonal architecture:

AI Client <-> MCP Protocol <-> Tool Handler <-> Use Case <-> CQRS Command/Query <-> Broker Port <-> Kite Adapter <-> Kite Connect API <-> NSE/BSE

Go 1.25 + mcp-go v0.46.0. SQLite for persistence (credentials, alerts, sessions, audit trail — all AES-256-GCM encrypted), with Litestream continuous replication to Cloudflare R2. OAuth 2.1 + PKCE, each user brings their own Kite developer app. Middleware chain: Timeout -> Audit -> Hooks -> RiskGuard -> Rate Limiter -> Billing -> Paper Trading -> Dashboard URL. Deployed on Fly.io (Mumbai region) with static egress IP for SEBI-mandated whitelisting. See ARCHITECTURE.md.

Legal / compliance status

Not a SEBI-registered intermediary. This is infrastructure software, not an advisory or brokerage service.

- Per-user BYO Kite developer app — you remain the Zerodha Client of record. The server holds no pooled user funds and executes no trades on its own behalf.

- The hosted deployment at kite-mcp-server.fly.dev is read-only; order-placement tools are gated off pursuant to NSE/INVG/69255 Annexure I Para 2.8. Order placement requires running the server locally against your own account.

- Running the server locally against your personal Kite account is the personal-use safe-harbor path — analogous to running your own algo script. See OpenAlgo's framing of the compliance landscape for Indian algo vendors.

- Static egress IP (209.71.68.157, Mumbai) is published so users can whitelist it in their Kite developer console per the SEBI April 2026 mandate.

- TERMS.md and PRIVACY.md are DRAFT and under independent legal review. Do not rely on them as final legal agreements.

- Trading involves risk. This software is not financial advice. Not affiliated with Zerodha.

Client setup

Any MCP-compliant client works with the same mcp-remote bridge above. Client-specific file locations:

Claude Code — ~/.claude.json (mcpServers key)
Claude Desktop — %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) or ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS/Linux)
ChatGPT Desktop — Settings -> Tools & Integrations -> MCP Servers -> add URL
VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf — .vscode/mcp.json or equivalent
