Features

• Create automated investing strategies
  • Use indicators like Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average (MA), and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a diverse range of equity and crypto offerings to build your ideal portfolio.
  • Don't just make one-off trades. Composer symphonies constantly monitor the market and rebalance accordingly.
  • Try asking: "Build me a crypto strategy with a maximum drawdown of 30% or less."
• Backtest your ideas
  • Our Backtesting API provides a fast feedback loop for AI to iterate and validate its hypotheses.
  • Try asking: "Compare the strategy's performance against the S&P 500. Plot the results."
• Find a strategy tailored for you
  • Provide your criteria to the AI and it will search through our database of 1000+ strategies to find one that suits your needs.
  • Try asking: "Find me a strategy with better risk-reward characteristics than Bitcoin."
• Monitor performance
  • View performance statistics for your overall account as well as for individual symphonies.
  • Try asking: "Identify my best-performing symphonies. Analyze why they are working."
• Control your investments (requires Composer subscription)
  • Ask AI to analyze your investments and adjust your exposure accordingly!
  • Try asking: "Research the latest trends and news. Analyze my symphonies and determine whether I should increase / decrease my investments."

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:

• Claude Desktop + iOS
• Claude Code
• Cursor
• n8n
• 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

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
3. Make sure your n8n version is at least 1.104.0
   • Learn how to check and update your n8n version here.
4. Add "MCP Client Tool" as a tool for your agent

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
