FAQ from Alpaca MCP Server

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.10 or higher, along with the packages mcp, alpaca-py, and python-dotenv. You also need a valid Alpaca API key and secret key.

How does the server authenticate with Alpaca?

It uses API key authentication. You provide your Alpaca API key ID and secret key (via .env file or environment variables in the config). By default, the server uses Alpaca's paper trading environment.

Can I use real money trading instead of paper trading?

Yes. You can change from paper trading to real money trading by modifying the TradingClient initialization parameter paper=True to paper=False in the server code.

Where does my trading data reside?

All account and order data is stored on Alpaca's servers. The server only retrieves or sends data through their API; it does not store any data locally.

What security should I be aware of?

This server will have access to your Alpaca account and can place real trades. Always review what Claude is suggesting before approving any trades.
