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

# 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

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mt5-quant": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/mt5-quant"
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Reload and Verify

Save the file
Restart Claude Desktop
In a new conversation, type: What tools do you have access to?
The agent should list MT5 tools like verify_setup, run_backtest, etc.

Full Example Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mt5-quant": {
      "command": "/Users/name/mt5-quant/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/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:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mt5-quant": {
      "command": "/Users/name/mt5-quant/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

Double-check the absolute path in claude_desktop_config.json
Ensure the binary has execute permissions: chmod +x /path/to/mt5-quant
Restart Claude Desktop completely
Check Claude Desktop logs: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/ (macOS)

JSON syntax errors

Validate the JSON at jsonlint.com
Ensure no trailing commas
Use absolute paths (not ~ or relative paths)

Agent hallucinating tool parameters

Verify the tool is available: "List your available MCP tools"
Start a new conversation
Be explicit: "Use the run_backtest tool with expert=MyEA"
