What is MCP and how does it work in trading?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants securely connect to external tools and data sources. In trading, MCP lets your AI assistant connect to your broker account through a permissioned, revocable integration. Chelsea is ThinkMarkets' MCP server — the bridge between your AI assistant and your trading account. Because MCP is an open protocol rather than a proprietary integration, the same AI assistant you use for other tasks can also operate your trading account.
