FAQ from Kite MCP Server

What prerequisites do I need?

You need a Zerodha Kite Connect app (API Key and Secret) and the latest version of Bun runtime.

How do I authenticate with the Kite API?

Run bun run auth to start a local OAuth server, open your browser to Kite login, and securely save the access token. The redirect URL must be set to http://localhost:50000/zerodha/auth/redirect in your Kite Connect app.

How long does an access token last and what happens when it expires?

Kite tokens expire roughly every 6 hours. When expired, re-run bun run auth to get a new token. The server will notify you of your authentication status.
