Sign in once with your Longbridge account. Every request runs over the same hosted, OAuth 2.1–secured endpoint documented below — read-only market data plus full account, portfolio, and trading tools, all gated by your own credentials.
Highlights
- 164 tools, one endpoint — quotes, options, order routing, fundamentals, analyst research, screeners, IPO, alerts, DCA, grid trading and portfolio analytics across US and HK markets.
- Stateless by design — every request forwards its Bearer token straight to the Longbridge SDK. No sessions, no database, nothing stored server-side.
- OAuth 2.1, auto-discovered — RFC 9728 protected-resource and RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata; clients complete the flow with no token to paste.
- Clean, typed responses — snake_case fields, RFC 3339 timestamps, human-readable symbols, and typed response schemas available as MCP resources.
Built in Rust with rmcp and axum.
Filter tool responses with jq
Every tool accepts an optional _jq string in its arguments. The expression runs
on the complete returned JSON, after the normal response serialization. The _jq
name is reserved for response filtering to avoid conflicts with business parameters.
Usage guidance is sent once in the MCP initialize response's instructions;
each tool schema declares only the optional parameter name and type.
For example:
{
"name": "quote",
"arguments": {
"symbols": ["AAPL.US", "MSFT.US"],
"_jq": "map({symbol, last_done})"
}
}
Use .data[:5] to take the first five entries of a data array,
.data | map(select(.price > 10)) to select rows, or {total: .total} to
project fields. Expressions use the embedded jaq
engine's jq-compatible syntax; no separate jq executable is needed.
- Omit
_jq (or pass null) to preserve the original response.
- One output value is returned directly, multiple values as an array, and no
values as
[]. Scalars and arrays are JSON text; objects also appear in
structuredContent, containing only the filtered fields.
- Plain text responses are available as JSON strings. Multiple content blocks
without structured content are available as an array.
- Tool errors and permission/no-data explanations remain unfiltered.
- Empty, invalid, or non-string expressions are rejected before the tool runs.
If filtering fails at runtime, the response explicitly says the tool already
executed. Do not automatically retry writes such as placing an order.
- Environment access, filesystem imports, and logging filters are unavailable.
Output is limited to 10,000 values and 8 MiB; exceeding a limit returns an
error rather than a partial result.
Because filters can change the response shape, tools do not advertise a fixed
outputSchema. Original typed schemas remain available through resources/list
and resources/read at lb://tools/{tool-name}/output-schema for schema-backed tools.
Connect your own client
Longbridge runs a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.longbridge.com — point any MCP client at it and complete OAuth when prompted. Authorization is auto-discovered via RFC 9728; there is no token to paste.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http longbridge https://mcp.longbridge.com
Claude Desktop — add to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart:
{ "mcpServers": { "longbridge": { "url": "https://mcp.longbridge.com" } } }
Cursor · Cline · Windsurf · Zed · other clients — point them at https://mcp.longbridge.com with transport streamable-http.
# Local self-hosted instance (see Self-hosting below)
claude mcp add --transport http longbridge-local http://localhost:8000/mcp
claude mcp list # registered servers
claude mcp get longbridge # config + auth status
claude mcp remove longbridge # unregister
claude mcp logout longbridge # re-trigger OAuth after revocation
On first use, the client reads the WWW-Authenticate challenge, fetches /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource (RFC 9728), and opens your browser for the Longbridge OAuth flow. Tokens are cached per session and refreshed automatically.

Self-hosting
Prefer your own instance? Run the published image:
docker run -p 8443:8443 \
-v /path/to/certs:/certs:ro \
ghcr.io/longbridge/longbridge-mcp \
--bind 0.0.0.0:8443 \
--base-url https://mcp.example.com \
--tls-cert /certs/cert.pem \
--tls-key /certs/key.pem
Set --base-url to your externally reachable URL on any public deployment — it is published in the OAuth metadata clients use to discover the authorization server. It defaults to http://localhost:{port}, which remote clients cannot use.
Or build from source: cargo build --release && ./target/release/longbridge-mcp.
Config lives at ~/.longbridge/mcp/config.json (override the directory with LONGBRIDGE_MCP_CONFIG_DIR). CLI flags take precedence. When tls_cert and tls_key are both set the server runs HTTPS, otherwise HTTP; base_url defaults to https://localhost:{port} with TLS or http://localhost:{port} without.
| Option | Config Key | CLI Flag | Default | Description |
|---|
| Bind address | bind | --bind | 127.0.0.1:8000 | HTTP server listen address |
| Base URL | base_url | --base-url | auto | Public base URL for resource metadata |
| Log directory | log_dir | --log-dir | (stderr) | Directory for rolling log files |
| TLS certificate | tls_cert | --tls-cert | (none) | PEM certificate file for HTTPS |
| TLS private key | tls_key | --tls-key | (none) | PEM private key file for HTTPS |
| Canary upstream | canary | --canary | false | Talk to the Longbridge canary environment (*.longbridge.xyz). --canary=false forces production even when the config file enables it |
The mainland-China environment (*.longbridge.cn) is not a flag: it is auto-selected when LONGBRIDGE_REGION=cn is set (the same variable the SDK uses), so a mainland cluster needs no dedicated setting.
Upstream endpoints are fixed by the selected environment:
| Production (default) | Canary (--canary) | Mainland (LONGBRIDGE_REGION=cn) |
|---|
| OpenAPI | https://openapi.longbridge.com | https://openapi-global.longbridge.xyz | https://openapi.longbridge.cn |
| Quote WebSocket | wss://openapi-quote.longbridge.com/v2 | wss://openapi-global-quote.longbridge.xyz/v2 | wss://openapi-quote.longbridge.cn/v2 |
| Trade WebSocket | wss://openapi-trade.longbridge.com/v2 | wss://openapi-global-trade.longbridge.xyz/v2 | wss://openapi-trade.longbridge.cn/v2 |
| OAuth / connect page | openapi.longbridge.com / open.longbridge.com | openapi-global.longbridge.xyz / open.longbridge.xyz | openapi.longbridge.cn / open.longbridge.cn |
Canary uses the -global gateway, not openapi.longbridge.xyz: only the former is CloudFront-fronted and performs x-dc-region data-center routing, which this server depends on to serve us_- and ap_-prefixed credentials from one process.
Canary and mainland pin every URL above at startup; production defers to the SDK's own resolution except that a us_ credential with no upstream override is pinned to the global .com gateway. See src/endpoints.rs for the exact selection rules.
Advanced environment variables — most deployments never touch these; they exist for SDK debugging and edge/global-entry deployments.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|
LONGBRIDGE_MCP_CONFIG_DIR | ~/.longbridge/mcp | Config file directory |
LONGBRIDGE_PUBLIC_HOSTS | (none) | Comma-separated hostnames accepted from the edge-injected X-Host header; matching requests echo that host in the 401 challenge / RFC 9728 metadata. Unset = X-Host ignored |
LONGBRIDGE_GLOBAL_OAUTH_URL | (none) | Authorization-server URL advertised to requests arriving via an allowlisted X-Host (global single-domain entry). Unset = fall back to the mode's OpenAPI base URL |
LONGBRIDGE_MCP_QUOTE_WS_IDLE_TTL_SECS | 600 | Idle seconds before a cached quote WebSocket context is evicted |
LONGBRIDGE_MCP_QUOTE_WS_MAX_CONTEXTS | 1024 | Maximum cached quote WebSocket contexts per server process |
LONGBRIDGE_MCP_LOG_PAYLOADS | (unset) | 1 lifts the payload log caps (see below). Never set this in production |
LONGBRIDGE_LOG_PATH | (none) | SDK internal log path. Leave unset in production — the SDK writes unfiltered request/response bodies there |
MCP requests and responses carry customer data — cash balances, positions, order history — and upstream SDK frames carry access tokens. None of it belongs in a log file, so the server caps the log targets that would print it, independent of RUST_LOG:
| Target | Cap | What it would otherwise print |
|---|
longbridge_httpcli | warn | OpenAPI request and full response bodies (INFO) |
longbridge_wscli | warn | Every WebSocket frame, auth token included (INFO) |
longbridge::trade | warn | Order push events (INFO) |
rmcp | info | Decoded MCP requests and full tool results (DEBUG), raw JSON-RPC frames (TRACE) |
So raising verbosity is safe: RUST_LOG=debug (or trace) gives you the server's own logs without leaking customer data. Two switches defeat this, both off by default — LONGBRIDGE_MCP_LOG_PAYLOADS=1 (removes the caps; use only against a test account locally) and LONGBRIDGE_LOG_PATH (makes the SDK write unfiltered bodies to that directory; the server warns at startup when set).
The server expects a Longbridge OAuth access token in Authorization: Bearer <token>. On missing or invalid auth it returns 401 with a WWW-Authenticate header pointing to the protected-resource metadata, which directs clients to the Longbridge OAuth authorization server.
Send x-papertrading: true (or 1) on a request to run it against the paper-trading environment. Upstream rejects a paper-trading request made with a real-money token, so the header is a safety guard rather than a routing switch: it can only narrow what a token may do. LONGBRIDGE_PAPERTRADING=true turns it on for the whole deployment instead.
| Method | Path | Description |
|---|
| GET | /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource | Protected Resource Metadata (RFC 9728) |
| GET | /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server | Authorization Server Metadata (RFC 8414); advertises direct Longbridge authorize/register and proxied token/revoke endpoints |
| POST | /oauth2/token | OAuth token proxy; derives x-dc-region from the code/refresh token, defaulting to AP |
| POST | /oauth2/revoke | OAuth revocation proxy; derives x-dc-region from the token, defaulting to AP |
| GET | /metrics | Prometheus metrics |
| POST/GET/DELETE | /mcp | MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint (requires Bearer token) |
Prometheus metrics: mcp_tool_calls_total (counter), mcp_tool_call_duration_seconds (histogram), and mcp_tool_call_errors_total (counter) — each labelled by tool_name.
