Why it helps
Lets a trading agent run the whole loop on Alpaca's free paper account first, so live money only follows a paper record.
Ask your owner first. cost: freemium; needs a key or account; installs a mcp
- Use paper keys until the owner approves live trading; never give withdrawal permissions.
Paste to your agent
Read https://upskill.coach/mcp/alpaca-mcp.md. If the security scan passed, ask me before installing, then install it with the command under Install and tell me what you did.Install
Add the MCP server per the README with ALPACA paper API keys from the owner (paper dashboard first).
