What it does

Kite MCP Server connects an AI agent to the Kite Connect trading API of the Indian broker Zerodha. The agent gets market data, views the portfolio and can work with orders. The server is written in Go and published by Zerodha itself. Tools are split by task. Sign-in goes through the login tool, which returns a Kite authorization link. Market data covers quotes, the last price, historical candles and instrument search. For the account there are the profile, margin, holdings, positions and mutual funds. Orders can be placed, modified and cancelled, and a separate group of tools handles GTT orders. Large result sets are paginated. There are two ways to connect. The hosted address https://mcp.kite.trade/mcp needs no installation or keys, but trading operations that could do damage are disabled there. You get the full set when you build the server yourself with your own Kite Connect keys.

Who it is for. For traders and developers with a Zerodha trading account who want to ask an agent about quotes and the portfolio, or build their own flows on Kite Connect.

Limitations

• A Zerodha trading account is required: sign-in goes through a Kite authorization link.
• Self-hosting needs Go 1.21 or newer and Kite Connect credentials: KITE_API_KEY and KITE_API_SECRET. Tests require Go 1.23 with GOEXPERIMENT=synctest.
• The server implements most Kite Connect endpoints, though not all.
• Claude Desktop reaches the remote address through the mcp-remote bridge, which runs through npx, so Node.js must be installed.
• We have not checked whether mcp.kite.trade is reachable from Russia.

How to disable. Remove the kite entry from claude_desktop_config.json and restart the app. If you ran the server yourself, stop the process and delete the .env file with the keys. You can also revoke the app's access in the Kite settings.

README in short

Claude Desktop gets ready settings for each mode, from hosted to stdio. A separate developer section covers building with Nix and Just.
