Installation

This section will get you started with creating symphonies and backtesting them. Use the links below to jump to the instructions for your preferred LLM client:

• Other LLMs

Quickstart with Claude Desktop and Claude iOS

To use the Composer MCP, you’ll need the Claude Pro or Max plan.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f560c127-4c87-4932-b515-6cad962c8ddc

1. Make sure you have Claude Desktop installed.
2. From Claude Desktop, navigate to Settings → Connectors then click Add custom connector
3. Enter "Composer" in the Name field and https://ai.composer.trade/mcp in the Remote MCP server URL field.
4. Enter your Composer email and password in the login screen that opens.
5. That's it. Your MCP client can now interact with Composer! Try asking Claude something like, "Find the Composer strategies with the highest alpha."

Once you've followed the above steps, the Composer MCP server will automatically be accessible in the Claude iOS app.

Quickstart with Claude Code

Run the following command from your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http composer https://ai.composer.trade/mcp

Quickstart with Cursor

Copy-paste the following into your browser:

cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=Composer&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FpLmNvbXBvc2VyLnRyYWRlL21jcCJ9

Try asking Cursor something like, "Find the Composer strategies with the highest alpha."

Quickstart with n8n

1. Get your API Key
2. Base64 Encode your key and secret separated with :
   • Example: MY_KEY:MY_SECRET becomes TVlfS0VZOk1ZX1NFQ1JFVA== after Base64 encoding

   • Learn how to check and update your n8n version here.
4. Add "MCP Client Tool" as a tool for your agent
5. Input the following fields:
   • Endpoint: https://mcp.composer.trade/mcp/
   • Server Transport: HTTP Streamable
   • Authentication: Header Auth
   • Create a new credential and enter the following in the Connection tab:

     • Value: Basic REPLACE_WITH_BASE64_ENCODED_KEY_AND_SECRET (Use your Base64 encoded key and secret here)
6. Select which tools you want to allow your agent to use.
   • We recommend excluding the following tools that can modify your account:
     • save_symphony - Save a symphony to the user's account
     • copy_symphony - Copy an existing symphony to the user's account

     • rebalance_symphony_now - Rebalance a symphony NOW instead of waiting for the next automated rebalance
     • execute_single_trade - Execute a single order for a specific symbol like you would in a traditional brokerage account
     • cancel_single_trade - Cancel a request for a single trade that has not executed yet

Manual install for other LLM clients

To install for any other MCP-enabled LLM, you can add the following to your MCP configuration JSON:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "composer": {
      "url": "https://ai.composer.trade/mcp"
    }
  }
}

‼️ NOTE: ChatGPT does not support custom MCP servers unless you have the Pro Plan ($200/mo). They also do not support MCP servers with more than two tools. ‼️

Getting your API Key

An API key will be necessary to interact with your Composer account. For example, saving a Composer Symphony for later or viewing statistics about your portfolio.

Trading a symphony will require a paid subscription, although you can always liquidate a position regardless of your subscription status. Composer also includes a 14-day free trial so you can try without any commitment.

Get your API key from Composer by following these steps:

1. If you haven't already done so, create an account.
2. Open your "Accounts & Funding" page
3. Request an API key
4. Save your API key and secret
