BotSpot MCP Integration

BotSpot exposes a public MCP server for strategy generation, backtesting, deployment monitoring, and artifact analysis.

Canonical endpoints

  • Production MCP root: https://mcp.botspot.trade

  • Production MCP path: https://mcp.botspot.trade/mcp

  • Production API: https://api.botspot.trade

Authentication

Two authentication methods are supported:

  1. OAuth 2.1 (recommended for hosted clients like Claude Desktop/Web and ChatGPT connectors)

  2. API keys (recommended for CLI and IDE clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex)

API keys are created in BotSpot account settings and used as:

Authorization: Bearer botspot_YOUR_API_KEY

Client quickstarts

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http botspot https://mcp.botspot.trade/mcp \

      "url": "https://mcp.botspot.trade/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer botspot_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Use the MCP URL without a header and complete OAuth in the browser prompt:

https://mcp.botspot.trade/mcp
