chore: simplify docs for LLM automation, remove platform-specific install steps
- Rewrite README.md to focus on LLM-driven install setup - Simplify QUICKSTART.md to minimal LLM instruction guide - Rewrite CONFIG.md to remove platform-specific path examples - Delete platform-specific IDE docs (CLAUDE.md, CURSOR.md, VSCODE.md, WINDSURF.md) - Simplify REMOTE_AGENTS.md to remove Wine install details - Clean up TROUBLESHOOTING.md to remove platform install sections - Ignore .vscode/ and .codegraph/ directories - Untrack server.json (should remain tracked - already restored)

# Claude Desktop MCP Integration Setup
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Install via MCP Registry (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Search for `mt5-quant` in Claude Desktop's MCP manager, or add directly to your config.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Download Prebuilt Binary
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# macOS (Apple Silicon)
|
||||
curl -L -o mt5-quant.tar.gz https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-quant/releases/latest/download/mt5-quant-macos-arm64.tar.gz
|
||||
tar -xzf mt5-quant.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
# Linux (x64)
|
||||
curl -L -o mt5-quant.tar.gz https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-quant/releases/latest/download/mt5-quant-linux-x64.tar.gz
|
||||
tar -xzf mt5-quant.tar.gz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: Build from Source
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-quant
|
||||
cd mt5-quant
|
||||
cargo build --release
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configure Claude Desktop
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Open MCP Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows).
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Add mt5-quant
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"mt5-quant": {
|
||||
"command": "/absolute/path/to/mt5-quant"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Reload and Verify
|
||||
|
||||
1. Save the file
|
||||
2. **Restart Claude Desktop**
|
||||
3. In a new conversation, type: `What tools do you have access to?`
|
||||
4. The agent should list MT5 tools like `verify_setup`, `run_backtest`, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Full Example Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"mt5-quant": {
|
||||
"command": "/Users/name/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"github": {
|
||||
"command": "npx",
|
||||
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
|
||||
"env": {
|
||||
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${env:GITHUB_TOKEN}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Path notes:**
|
||||
- Prebuilt binary: `/Users/name/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant` (extracted from release tarball)
|
||||
- Dev build: `/Users/name/mt5-quant/target/release/mt5-quant` (after `cargo build --release`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Claude Desktop supports `${env:VAR_NAME}` syntax for environment variable substitution:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"mt5-quant": {
|
||||
"command": "/Users/name/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant",
|
||||
"env": {
|
||||
"MT5_MCP_HOME": "${env:HOME}/.config/mt5-quant"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Verify Setup
|
||||
|
||||
In a Claude Desktop conversation, type:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Run verify_setup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected output:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Wine: /Applications/MetaTrader 5.app/.../wine64
|
||||
MT5 dir: ~/Library/Application Support/.../MetaTrader 5
|
||||
Display: gui
|
||||
Arch: arch -x86_64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "Tool not found" or server not appearing
|
||||
|
||||
1. Double-check the absolute path in `claude_desktop_config.json`
|
||||
2. Ensure the binary has execute permissions: `chmod +x /path/to/mt5-quant`
|
||||
3. Restart Claude Desktop completely
|
||||
4. Check Claude Desktop logs: `~/Library/Logs/Claude/` (macOS)
|
||||
|
||||
### JSON syntax errors
|
||||
|
||||
1. Validate the JSON at [jsonlint.com](https://jsonlint.com)
|
||||
2. Ensure no trailing commas
|
||||
3. Use absolute paths (not `~` or relative paths)
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent hallucinating tool parameters
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify the tool is available: "List your available MCP tools"
|
||||
2. Start a new conversation
|
||||
3. Be explicit: "Use the `run_backtest` tool with expert=MyEA"
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configure Cursor
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 1: Settings UI (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open Cursor Settings (`Cmd/Ctrl + ,`)
|
||||
2. Navigate to **Features** → **MCP**
|
||||
3. Click **Add Custom MCP**
|
||||
4. Enter:
|
||||
- **Name**: `mt5-quant`
|
||||
- **Command**: `/path/to/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant`
|
||||
- **Type**: `stdio`
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 2: Edit mcp.json Directly
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (project):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"mt5-quant": {
|
||||
"type": "stdio",
|
||||
"command": "/path/to/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create the file if it doesn't exist:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.cursor
|
||||
cat > ~/.cursor/mcp.json << 'EOF'
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"mt5-quant": {
|
||||
"type": "stdio",
|
||||
"command": "/path/to/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Verify Setup
|
||||
|
||||
In Cursor chat, type:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Run verify_setup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected output:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Wine: /Applications/MetaTrader 5.app/.../wine64
|
||||
MT5 dir: ~/Library/Application Support/.../MetaTrader 5
|
||||
Display: gui
|
||||
Arch: arch -x86_64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Locations
|
||||
|
||||
| Scope | Path | Use Case |
|
||||
|-------|------|----------|
|
||||
| Global | `~/.cursor/mcp.json` | Available in all projects |
|
||||
| Project | `.cursor/mcp.json` | Project-specific tools |
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP server not appearing
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check MCP panel in Cursor Settings
|
||||
2. Verify the path is absolute (not relative)
|
||||
3. Test binary: `/path/to/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant --help`
|
||||
4. View MCP logs: Output panel → select "MCP" from dropdown
|
||||
|
||||
### Config interpolation
|
||||
|
||||
Cursor supports variable substitution in `mcp.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"mt5-quant": {
|
||||
"command": "${userHome}/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant",
|
||||
"args": ["--config", "${workspaceFolder}/config.yaml"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Available variables:
|
||||
- `${userHome}` - Home directory
|
||||
- `${workspaceFolder}` - Project root
|
||||
- `${workspaceFolderBasename}` - Project folder name
|
||||
- `${env:VAR_NAME}` - Environment variable
|
||||
|
||||
### Tool not found errors
|
||||
|
||||
If the agent says "Tool not found":
|
||||
1. Check the server is enabled in MCP settings
|
||||
2. Try disabling and re-enabling the server
|
||||
3. Restart Cursor

# Quickstart Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Download or Build
|
||||
For end-users wanting full platform-specific steps, see the [TROUBLESHOOTING.md](docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md).
|
||||
|
||||
### Option A: Prebuilt Binary (Recommended)
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# macOS (Apple Silicon)
|
||||
curl -L -o mt5.tar.gz https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-quant/releases/latest/download/mcp-mt5-quant-macos-arm64.tar.gz
|
||||
tar -xzf mt5.tar.gz
|
||||
Ask your LLM platform to install MT5-Quant:
|
||||
|
||||
# Linux (x64)
|
||||
curl -L -o mt5.tar.gz https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-quant/releases/latest/download/mcp-mt5-quant-linux-x64.tar.gz
|
||||
tar -xzf mt5.tar.gz
|
||||
```
|
||||
> "Please install mt5-quant from https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-quant. Download the pre-built binary, run `scripts/setup.sh` to auto-detect Wine/MT5 paths, and register the MCP server."
|
||||
|
||||
### Option B: Build from Source
|
||||
The LLM will handle:
|
||||
1. Download binary or `cargo build --release`
|
||||
2. Run setup script to auto-detect Wine and MT5 paths
|
||||
3. Write `config/mt5-quant.yaml` (gitignored)
|
||||
4. Register MCP server with your platform
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-quant
|
||||
cd mt5-quant
|
||||
bash scripts/build-rust.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Minimal Config
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Install MetaTrader 5
|
||||
If manual config is needed, `config/mt5-quant.yaml` requires only:
|
||||
|
||||
### macOS - MetaTrader 5.app (Free)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download from [metatrader5.com](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/download)
|
||||
2. Install to `/Applications`
|
||||
3. **Launch once** to initialize Wine prefix (~30s), then quit
|
||||
|
||||
Auto-detected paths:
|
||||
- Wine: `/Applications/MetaTrader 5.app/Contents/SharedSupport/wine/bin/wine64`
|
||||
- MT5: `~/Library/Application Support/net.metaquotes.wine.metatrader5/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5`
|
||||
|
||||
### macOS - CrossOver (Paid, Better Compatibility)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install [CrossOver](https://www.codeweavers.com/)
|
||||
2. Create bottle `MetaTrader5`
|
||||
3. Install MT5 inside bottle
|
||||
|
||||
Auto-detected paths:
|
||||
- Wine: `/Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/bin/wine64`
|
||||
- MT5: `~/Library/Application Support/MetaQuotes/<hash>/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5`
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Debian/Ubuntu
|
||||
sudo apt install wine64 xvfb
|
||||
|
||||
# Fedora/RHEL
|
||||
sudo dnf install wine xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
|
||||
|
||||
# Install MT5
|
||||
wine64 MetaTrader5Setup.exe
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
MT5 location: `~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5`
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Configure
|
||||
|
||||
Run the setup script to auto-detect paths:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash scripts/setup.sh # interactive
|
||||
bash scripts/setup.sh --yes # non-interactive (CI)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This creates `config/mt5-quant.yaml` (gitignored).
|
||||
|
||||
Minimum config:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
wine_executable: "/Applications/MetaTrader 5.app/Contents/SharedSupport/wine/bin/wine64"
|
||||
terminal_dir: "~/Library/Application Support/net.metaquotes.wine.metatrader5/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5"
|
||||
wine_executable: "/path/to/wine64"
|
||||
terminal_dir: "/path/to/MetaTrader 5"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Register MCP Server
|
||||
`setup.sh` auto-detects both.
|
||||
|
||||
### Claude Code
|
||||
## Verify
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||

## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**Agents connect then immediately disconnect**
|
||||
- MT5 version mismatch between `metatester64.exe` (from Mac) and the master. Use the exact same build number.
|
||||
- Check `~/mt5agents/agents.log` for Wine errors.
|
||||
|
||||
**Agents show as connected but don't receive work**
|
||||
- MT5 sometimes requires optimization to be started before assigning work to new agents.
|
||||
- Start an optimization from the MT5 GUI first to "activate" remote agents, then cancel it and use MT5-Quant.
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance is slower with remote agents**
|
||||
- Network latency between Mac and Linux server. Results are sent over TCP after each pass.
|
||||
- Local gigabit network: negligible. WiFi or WAN: significant overhead. Use wired connection.
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux server runs out of memory**
|
||||
- Each `metatester64.exe` instance uses ~200-400MB.
|
||||
- 8 agents = ~2-3GB RAM. Size agent count accordingly.
|
||||
- Use wired connection. WiFi or WAN: significant overhead.

|
||||
tar -xzf mt5.tar.gz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Build from Source
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo build --release
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configure VS Code
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 1: Command Palette (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Press `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P`
|
||||
2. Run `MCP: Add Server`
|
||||
3. Choose **Workspace** or **User** scope
|
||||
4. Enter server name: `mt5-quant`
|
||||
5. Enter command: `/path/to/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant`
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 2: Edit mcp.json Directly
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"servers": {
|
||||
"mt5-quant": {
|
||||
"command": "/path/to/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Create the file:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p .vscode
|
||||
cat > .vscode/mcp.json << 'EOF'
|
||||
{
|
||||
"servers": {
|
||||
"mt5-quant": {
|
||||
"command": "/path/to/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Method 3: VS Code CLI
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
code --add-mcp '{"name":"mt5-quant","command":"/path/to/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Verify Setup
|
||||
|
||||
In Copilot chat, type:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Run verify_setup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected output:

|
||||
Display: gui
|
||||
Arch: arch -x86_64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration Locations
|
||||
|
||||
| Scope | Path | Use Case |
|
||||
|-------|------|----------|
|
||||
| Workspace | `.vscode/mcp.json` | Share with team via source control |
|
||||
| User | `~/.vscode/mcp.json` | Personal tools across all projects |
|
||||
| Dev Container | `devcontainer.json` → `customizations.vscode.mcp` | Containerized environments |
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP server not appearing
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open **Output** panel (`Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + U`)
|
||||
2. Select **MCP** from dropdown
|
||||
3. Check for connection errors
|
||||
4. Verify the path is absolute
|
||||
|
||||
### Config not found
|
||||
|
||||
The binary auto-detects its config, but you can also:
|
||||
1. Run `setup.sh` to create `config/mt5-quant.yaml`
|
||||
2. Or let the binary auto-discover on first run
|
||||
|
||||
### Dev Container Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"customizations": {
|
||||
"vscode": {
|
||||
"mcp": {
|
||||
"servers": {
|
||||
"mt5-quant": {
|
||||
"command": "/path/to/mt5-quant/mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Differences from Other IDEs
|
||||
|
||||
VS Code uses `servers` (not `mcpServers`) in the JSON structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"servers": { // ← VS Code uses "servers"
|
||||
"mt5-quant": {
|
||||
"command": "..."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Other platforms use `mcpServers`.

|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment to Multiple Machines
|
||||
|
||||
### Build for Distribution
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Build release binary
|
||||
cargo build --release
|
||||
|
||||
# Create tarball
|
||||
tar -czf mt5-quant-macos-arm64.tar.gz -C target/release mt5-quant
|
||||
|
||||
# Deploy to remote server
|
||||
scp mt5-quant-macos-arm64.tar.gz user@server:~/
|
||||
ssh user@server "tar -xzf mt5-quant-macos-arm64.tar.gz -C /opt/"
|
||||
ssh user@server "ln -s /opt/mt5-quant /usr/local/bin/"
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy config
|
||||
scp -r config/mt5-quant.yaml user@server:~/.config/mt5-quant/config/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Target Machine Requirements
|
||||
- MetaTrader 5 installed (via Wine/CrossOver)
|
||||
- Config file at `~/.config/mt5-quant/config/mt5-quant.yaml`
|
||||
- **NO Python required!**
|
||||
|
||||
### Windsurf Config on Target Machine
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcpServers": {
|
||||
"mt5-quant": {
|
||||
"command": "/usr/local/bin/mt5-quant"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The binary auto-detects its config location. No environment variables needed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP server not appearing
|
||||
1. Check Windsurf logs: `~/.windsurf/logs/`
|
||||
2. Verify executable path is absolute
|
||||
3. Test executable manually: `./mcp-server/bin/mt5-quant --help`
|
||||
|
||||
### Config not found
|
||||
Set `MT5_MCP_HOME` environment variable or ensure config is at default location:
|
||||
- macOS: `~/.config/mt5-quant/config/mt5-quant.yaml`
|
||||
|
||||
### Permission denied
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x /path/to/mt5-quant
