Upstox MCP | CLI Trader

Upstox MCP is an MCP server that connects agents to the Upstox brokerage platform for Indian stock market trading and data access. Upstox is one of India’s prominent discount brokerages, and this server brings its capabilities into the MCP ecosystem — allowing agents to retrieve market data, manage positions, and interact with the Upstox trading infrastructure through structured tool calls.

The server handles authentication and API communication with Upstox, presenting its functionality through the MCP protocol. This means agents work with typed tool definitions rather than raw API endpoints, which improves reliability for both data retrieval and trading operations. Indian market traders using Upstox can integrate their brokerage into agent-assisted workflows without building custom API integrations from scratch.

Upstox MCP is designed for Indian market participants who trade through the Upstox platform and want to adopt agent-driven workflows. It provides a foundation for building automated research, monitoring, and execution pipelines on NSE and BSE. As with any brokerage integration, secure your API credentials, start with read-only operations, and implement proper risk controls before enabling execution capabilities.
