Connecting Claude to FMZ for Natural-Language Trading Operations
Summary
This guide explains how to connect Claude Desktop to FMZ through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It walks through obtaining FMZ MCP configuration credentials, adding the configuration to Claude Desktop, restarting the app, and authorizing tool access. The intended uses include asking about running strategy instances and requesting market data such as cryptocurrency prices across configured exchanges.
The examples show that a basic account can handle simple queries, while larger data requests may exceed free-tier context or usage limits. The guide also notes possible setup issues with outdated Node.js installations and emphasizes protecting API credentials, using a dedicated key with suitable permissions, and rotating keys. It is a setup walkthrough rather than a trading strategy or performance evaluation; results depend on platform access, account limits, and the data requested.
