Step-by-step for each AI app
Then just ask
Set a ₹5,000 stoploss and ₹12,000 target on my Upstox account
Done. If your Upstox P&L reaches −₹5,000 or +₹12,000, Quantplay squares off every open position on the account.
- “Show my Upstox positions and today's P&L”
- “How much margin is free on my Upstox account?”
- “Show the NIFTY option chain around ATM for this expiry”
Questions
Can Claude or ChatGPT trade on my Upstox account?
Yes, through Quantplay. Your agent can read positions, holdings, orders, margins and option chains, and place, cancel or square off orders if you allow trading when you connect it. Placing orders and setting limits need a paid plan; the 7-day free trial includes them.
Can I connect without letting the agent trade?
Yes. Leave trading off when you approve the connection, or use the read-only URL https://mcp.quantplay.tech/mcp/readonly, which can't place orders at all.
What limits an agent's losses on my Upstox account?
Stoploss, target and trailing stoploss are set per account and run on Quantplay's servers. When one is hit, Quantplay squares off all open positions on that account, whether you or the agent placed them. They exit after a limit is crossed; they don't block orders. Your kill switch is the floor: no agent can change it, and no one can change it during market hours.
Which AI apps work with it?
Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Muse, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and any app that supports remote MCP servers, the standard AI apps use to connect to outside tools.
How much does it cost?
7 days free, then ₹700 a month for each connected broker account. No card needed to start, and you can cancel any time.
