Sentinel MCP Server

mcp-server-sentinel

English | 繁體中文 | 简体中文 | 日本語 | 한국어

MCP server for Sentinel Bot — algorithmic trading backtesting, bot management, and account operations via AI agents.

This server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), providing 36 tools that let AI agents run crypto backtests, deploy trading bots, optimize parameters, browse strategy marketplace, and manage accounts & payments — all through natural language.

Why Use This MCP Server?

This MCP server is built for Sentinel — an autonomous algorithmic trading platform designed for AI agent workflows. By connecting your AI agent to Sentinel via MCP, you get a complete agent-driven trading pipeline:

• Natural language backtesting — describe a strategy idea, AI generates and tests it
• One-conversation deployment — go from backtest to live trading bot without writing code
• Real-time monitoring — PnL tracking, trading signals, and SMC market analysis
• Full autonomy — strategy research, parameter optimization, and trade execution, all handled by your AI agent

Best paired with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible AI client.
