Does this server use real money?

No. This is a simulation environment for paper trading and strategy testing. No real funds are at risk during simulated operations.

Can I test my trading strategies before going live?

Yes. That is the primary purpose of this server — it provides a safe environment to validate trading logic, agent prompts, and workflow designs without financial risk.

How realistic is the simulation?

Simulation accuracy depends on the implementation. Check the repository for details on order fill simulation, slippage modeling, and market data sources.

Trading Simulator MCP

Trading Simulator MCP is an MCP server designed for simulated cryptocurrency trading, providing a paper trading and strategy testing environment through the Model Context Protocol. It allows AI agents to practice trading workflows, test strategies, and validate execution logic without risking real capital. This makes it a valuable tool for developing and refining agent-driven trading approaches before deploying them on live exchanges.

The server simulates core trading operations including order placement, position tracking, portfolio management, and performance measurement. Agents can interact with the simulator using the same kinds of MCP tool calls they would use with a live exchange server, which makes it practical to develop workflows in simulation and later transition them to production with minimal changes. The paper trading environment captures trade history and performance metrics for review and analysis.

Setup follows standard MCP server configuration patterns. Since no real exchange credentials are needed for simulation, the barrier to entry is lower than with live trading servers. This makes Trading Simulator MCP a good starting point for users new to MCP-based trading workflows. Use the simulator to validate agent prompts, test risk control logic, and identify failure modes in your workflow before connecting to any server that handles real funds.
