Connecting Claude to your trading account via Elirox
By the end of this guide you'll be able to talk to Claude in plain language, and it will open trades, calculate risk and analyze your trading history right on your live account.
How it works
Anthropic's AI that you talk to in plain language.
The platform that takes Claude's commands and actually executes them at your broker.
Without it Claude can't see your account and Elirox can't understand commands. That's what we're about to connect.
Register with Elirox
Create an account and connect a partner broker.
Register with Elirox via the link:
Standard registration: email and password.
Choosing a partner broker
Elirox works free with XM and Exness. Other brokers work too, but via an Elirox subscription.
If you already have an XM or Exness account
- After registering, go to the Accounts section.
- Click Connect a trading account.
- Select your broker and follow the prompts.
Connecting takes 3 minutes.
If you don't have an XM or Exness account yet
- XM: open an account →
- Exness: open an account →
A demo opens in 2 minutes, and the pairing works great on demo.
If you use a different broker
We recommend opening a demo at XM or Exness first to test the pairing without a subscription. If you decide to stay with your current broker, Elirox supports it on a paid subscription.
We'll walk you through it and answer questions — a real person replies.
What to install on your computer
Your account is ready. Now three free programs for the pairing. If you already have one — skip it.
1. Claude Desktop
The app where you'll chat with Claude.
2. Node.js
A technical "layer" Claude uses to talk to Elirox. Just install it and forget — you won't need it again.
nodejs.org → — pick the LTS version, it's the green one on the site.
3. Postman
The app where you'll get your access key (a one-time step).
Download the Postman collection
A ready-made file with all the requests to get your API key.
Download the collection file — you'll need it on the next step:
Import the collection into Postman
Loading the ready-made requests into the app.
- Open Postman.
- Click Import in the top-left corner.
- Drag the collection file into the import window.
After importing, the "Elirox Public API — MCP onboarding" collection appears with four requests.
The base URL, variables and automatic token passing are already configured inside — nothing to enter manually.
Create your API key
4 requests in order. Each one uses data from the previous.
3.1 · Register
This request creates your Elirox API account and automatically opens a demo account.
- Open the Register request in the sidebar.
- Go to the Body tab.
- In the
emailandpasswordfields enter the same details you used when registering in Step 0. - Click Send in the top-right corner.
In the response at the bottom you should see the created user's data.
3.2 · List accounts
Checks that your demo account was created correctly.
- Open the List accounts request.
- Just click Send — nothing to enter.
The response shows information about your demo account.
3.3 · Create key
Generates the API key Claude uses to connect to Elirox.
- Open the Create key request.
- Click Send.
- In the response find the
apiKeyfield — that's your key. - Copy the
apiKeyvalue and keep it safe. You'll need it on the next step.
Connect MCP to Claude
Pasting the API key into Claude Desktop config.
4.1 · Open the config file
- Launch Claude Desktop.
- Go to Settings → Developer → Edit Config.
- The
claude_desktop_config.jsonfile opens in an editor.
claude_desktop_config_backup.json. If something goes wrong, you can restore it in a second.4.2 · Paste the config block
Copy the block below for your operating system, replace <YOUR_API_KEY> with the key from Step 3, and paste it into the file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"elirox": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://app.elxapi.com/public/v1/mcp",
"--header",
"X-API-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>"
]
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"elirox": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": [
"/c",
"npx",
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://app.elxapi.com/public/v1/mcp",
"--header",
"X-API-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>"
]
}
}
}
If the file already has other MCP servers — add elirox inside the existing mcpServers block, remembering the comma before it:
{
"mcpServers": {
"other_server": { ... },
"elirox": { ... }
}
}
4.3 · Restart Claude Desktop

If the pairing works, Claude will call the MCP tools and return your account data.
