Every fact below links to a source card; “unknown” means no source we cite confirms it.

Overview and current status

Robinhood runs an official remote Trading MCP server for outside agents at https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading.¹²

Robinhood announced Agentic Trading on 2026-05-27 as a beta that supported equities only at launch.³ The current support pages list long equities, options and crypto.⁴

An external agent gets read access to all of your Robinhood accounts, including account numbers, positions, balances and order history, but it can only place trades in your Robinhood Agentic account.¹ The agentic account is separate from the rest of your portfolio, so the agent can only use the money you deposit into it.³

Robinhood also offers built-in Robinhood Agents, provided by Robinhood Labs, LLC, which says it is not a broker-dealer.⁵ This page covers outside agents connecting through MCP.

The official Robinhood Agents product page describes Agent Apps, which connect an agent to additional data and tools, and Agent Loops, which that page marks as coming soon; it also repeats the dedicated-account control.⁶

A support article says Agent Apps are only available in the Robinhood mobile app, and only accessible by agents hosted by Robinhood.⁷ Another support article covers setting up a built-in agent in the mobile app.⁸

TechCrunch’s launch coverage on 2026-05-27 described a dedicated pre-loaded balance and reported that options, crypto, event contracts, futures, and prediction markets were planned at the time; treat current assets as the official support pages above.⁹

Implementation details

• Endpoint: https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading, added as a remote HTTP MCP server, for example claude mcp add robinhood-trading --transport http https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading.¹
• Auth: OAuth. The protected-resource metadata names the same URL as resource and authorization server, uses bearer tokens in the header, and lists one scope, internal.² An independent test on 2026-09-05 reported OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, dynamic client registration, and 73 tools on that date.¹⁰
• Tool list: Robinhood publishes tool tables per category, including trade-approval tools such as get_trade_approvals and decline_trade_approval.⁴
• Account boundary: read access spans all accounts; trading is limited to the agentic account.¹

Guardrails and risks

Guardrail	Where it is enforced	Sources
Trading only in the agentic account	Server side (broker)	13
Trade approvals toggle: when on, the agent proposes and you place each order in the app	Server side (broker), optional	4
Trade approvals are off by default for MCP accounts and still rolling out		4
Some trades may still need your approval with approvals off	Server side (broker)	4
Disconnect the agent at any time	Server side (broker)	3

Robinhood warns that if you tell your agent to act without asking you, it can place trades without your confirmation.¹ Because the agent can read every account, treat account numbers and balances it sees as sensitive inside your agent’s logs.

How to build against it

1. Open a Robinhood Agentic (MCP) account and fund it only with what the agent may use.³
2. Add the MCP server in your client (Claude Code, Codex and others are documented) and complete OAuth.¹
3. Decide whether to turn on Trade approvals before the first order.⁴
4. For your own client: discover OAuth metadata from /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource, then use bearer tokens.²

Robinhood also publishes a machine-readable llms.txt at https://robinhood.com/llms.txt.¹¹
