• Easy configuration via environment variables

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip (Python package manager)
• Robinhood API credentials

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/rohitsingh-iitd/robinhood-mcp-server
   cd robinhood-mcp-server
   

2. Set up a virtual environment (recommended):

   # Create a virtual environment
   python -m venv venv
   
   # Activate the virtual environment
   # On macOS/Linux:
   source venv/bin/activate
   # On Windows:
   # .\venv\Scripts\activate
   

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Configuration

1. Create a .env file in the project root with the following content:

   # Required
   ROBINHOOD_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   ROBINHOOD_PRIVATE_KEY=your_base64_encoded_private_key_here
   
   # Optional (with defaults)
   HOST=0.0.0.0
   PORT=8000
   WEBSOCKET_PORT=8001
   DEBUG=False
   LOG_LEVEL=INFO
   LOG_FILE=robinhood_mcp_server.log
   RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=True
   RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS=100
   RATE_LIMIT_PERIOD=60
   

2. Replace the placeholder values with your actual Robinhood API credentials.

Running the Server

Start the server with the following command:

python -m src.main

This will start:

• REST API server at http://localhost:8000
• WebSocket server at ws://localhost:8001

Running in Production

For production use, consider using a production-grade ASGI server like Uvicorn with Gunicorn:

pip install gunicorn uvicorn[standard]
gunicorn src.main:app --worker-class uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker --bind 0.0.0.0:8000

Running the Server

Start the server with the following command:

python -m src.main

This will start both the REST API server (default port 8000) and the WebSocket server (default port 8001).

REST API Endpoints

• GET /market/estimated-price - Get estimated price for quantity (required query params: symbol, side, quantity)

Trading

• GET /trading/pairs - Get available trading pairs (optional query param: symbol)
• GET /trading/orders - Get order history (optional query param: status)
• GET /trading/orders/{id} - Get order details
• POST /trading/orders - Place a new order

• DELETE /trading/orders/{id} - Cancel an order

WebSocket API

The WebSocket server provides real-time updates for market data and order status.

Connection

Connect to the WebSocket server at:

ws://localhost:8001

Market Data Subscription

Subscribe to market data updates:

{
  "type": "market_data",
  "action": "subscribe",
  "symbols": ["BTC-USD", "ETH-USD"]
}

Unsubscribe from market data updates:

{
  "type": "market_data",
  "action": "unsubscribe",
  "symbols": ["BTC-USD", "ETH-USD"]
}

Order Updates Subscription

Subscribe to order updates:

{
  "type": "orders",
  "action": "subscribe"
}

Unsubscribe from order updates:

{
  "type": "orders",
  "action": "unsubscribe"
}

Ping/Pong

Send a ping to keep the connection alive:

{
  "type": "ping"
}

The server will respond with:

{
  "type": "pong"
}

Testing

Run the validation tests to ensure the server is working correctly:

python -m tests.test_server

Configuration Options

The following environment variables can be configured in the .env file:

• ROBINHOOD_API_KEY - Your Robinhood API key
• ROBINHOOD_PRIVATE_KEY - Your base64-encoded private key
• HOST - Server host (default: 0.0.0.0)
• PORT - REST API server port (default: 8000)
• DEBUG - Enable debug mode (default: False)
• LOG_LEVEL - Logging level (default: INFO)
• LOG_FILE - Log file path (default: robinhood_mcp_server.log)
• RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED - Enable rate limiting (default: True)
• RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS - Maximum requests per period (default: 100)
• RATE_LIMIT_PERIOD - Rate limit period in seconds (default: 60)

Security Considerations

• API keys and secrets are stored in environment variables, never in code
• All sensitive data is properly handled
• Input validation is implemented for all API endpoints
• Rate limiting is enforced to prevent abuse
• Proper error handling to avoid leaking sensitive information

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Check the log file for detailed error messages
2. Verify your API credentials are correct
3. Ensure you have proper network connectivity
4. Check that the Robinhood API is available
