Alpaca has launched an official MCP Server that integrates with LLM clients like Claude, enabling AI-driven trading workflows. This guide details how to deploy the server remotely for use with the Claude mobile app, allowing traders to analyze markets, check portfolio positions, and execute trades using natural language. The process involves containerizing the server with Docker, deploying it to a cloud platform like Render, and connecting it to Claude via custom connectors.

By hosting the server remotely, users gain mobile access to Alpaca's Trading API through AI, streamlining algorithmic development and automation. This setup bridges the gap between complex API interactions and conversational AI, making advanced trading tools more accessible and actionable on the go.
