EA Trade Tester for AI assistants (MCP connector)
EA Trade Tester by TrueTest lets an AI assistant such as Claude send TrueTest your MT5/MT4 Expert Advisor, indicator, Python bot or written rules, or a finished trading record, and bring back the result. The first read and the verdict are free. It is a backtest of our own rebuilt copy: it never runs your code as given, never places trades and is not financial advice. Read the results before you risk money.
Set it up
- Server address:
https://truetest.uk/mcp(remote MCP, streamable HTTP). No account and no sign-in. - In Claude: Settings → Connectors → add a custom connector with that address (or find "EA Trade Tester by TrueTest" in the directory once it is listed).
- Other assistants that support remote MCP servers use the same address.
- For developers: WebAISEO, our check of whether AI search engines can read a web page, is a second MCP server at
https://truetest.uk/mcp/ai-search(one tool, check_ai_readiness, which reads one public page at a time). - Try it with our sample files: SampleEA.mq5 (a textbook EA with faults left in on purpose), SampleUtils.mqh, SampleEA.set and sample_trades.csv.
The three tools
| Tool | What it does | Changes anything? |
|---|---|---|
| test_strategy_code | Reads your code (several files at once, for example the .mq5 with its .mqh includes and .set settings) and lists code faults: wrong server clock, modules never called, settings never used, missing includes, unchecked orders, martingale or grid sizing. Without an email that free first read is all it does and nothing is stored. With your email it also opens a private Strategy Lab and gives the assistant its link (no email is sent): you check the plain-English rules there, then we backtest our rebuilt copy on up to 16 years of prices with real costs and a luck check. | Only with your email: it creates your lab. |
| check_trading_record | Judges an MT5 Strategy Tester report, an MT4/MT5 statement or a CSV of closed trades: real or luck, allowing for how many versions you tried, with costs, losing years and grid/martingale signs. | No. The record is read and discarded. |
| get_lab_status | Says where your lab stands (rule card, your check, queued, running, tested, forward watch) and, once tested, the verdict and its reason. | No. |
Things you can ask
- "Here is my MT5 Expert Advisor. Does it have any code problems?"
- "Check my EA with its include file and settings, and backtest it. My email is ..."
- "Is this backtest real or luck? I tried about 20 settings before this one."
- "How is my TrueTest lab going?" (with the lab link)
- "What do I get for free?"
Where to find us
Our two apps are also listed in these places. A listing is a directory entry, not a test result.
- MCP Registry, the public list of MCP servers: EA Trade Tester is listed as
uk.truetest/ea-testerand WebAISEO asuk.truetest/ai-search. - GitHub, setup notes and server files: EA Trade Tester on GitHub and WebAISEO on GitHub.
- Hugging Face, a short page about each app with links back here: EA Trade Tester on Hugging Face and WebAISEO on Hugging Face.
- For developers: both registry entries as raw data for apps: registry search.
Free and paid
The first read and the lab verdict are free (3 free labs a day per email, up to 10 versions a lab). The detailed technical report is paid; its price is shown on your lab page before you buy. The assistant never buys anything for you.
Privacy
- Your email is asked for only when you want the full test. It counts your tests for the luck bar and the 3-free-labs-a-day limit. A request made through an assistant sends no email at all: keep the lab link private, it is the key to your lab.
- Code files are kept up to 90 days; your Strategy Lab 12 months after your last visit, run or confirm, then deleted with its results and forward watch (one reminder email 30 days before); ask us and we delete it sooner. A trading record sent by an assistant is not stored.
- The rule card is written by a person unless you allow an outside AI service to draft it (details on Security).
- Full details: Privacy notice and Security.
Limits and problems
- Through an assistant: up to 20 files and about 1 MB a call, records under 1 MB (bigger files: upload on the website, code up to 5 MB, reports up to 60 MB). Compiled .ex5/.ex4 files cannot be read; send their Strategy Tester report instead.
- When TrueTest is busy, a tool says how many minutes to wait. Every error says what to change.
- Help: support@truetest.uk (we aim to answer within 2 working days).
