      "env": {
        "QUANTCONNECT_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_QUANTCONNECT_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add this to your Claude Desktop config file. Find it at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS.

What this does

QuantConnect/mcp-server exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation. That makes it useful when you want Claude to reach into your developer tooling without copy-pasting context every turn.

Requirements

This server needs the following environment variables to be set before it can run:

QUANTCONNECT_API_TOKEN

Set these via the env object in your MCP config (see claude_desktop_config.json snippet above).

Common use cases

  • Drive your build, test, lint, or deploy commands from a chat session
  • Pull CI status, commit metadata, or PR review state into context
  • Inspect or scaffold project boilerplate without leaving Claude
