Webull

Every fact below links to a source card; “unknown” means no source in the current batch confirms it.

Overview and current status

Webull has two official agent paths:

1. Cloud MCP, hosted by Webull at https://api.webull.com/mcp. It prepares trade instructions, and each trade needs your separate confirmation in Webull before it goes to the market.¹²
2. Local OpenAPI MCP, an open-source server you run yourself with API credentials. It can place, modify and cancel orders directly.³

Webull announced its MCP server on 2026-06-11, saying it had been working with clients since April.⁴ An earlier official announcement, dated 08/04 in the post (source card published 2026-08-04), described ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok connectors, a Webull CLI packaged as a standalone Go binary, and enhanced MCP.⁵ On 2026-09-29 it expanded Cloud MCP to trade preparation with no API keys, available to eligible US users through Claude, Perplexity and Grok, with ChatGPT pending.² A separate Japan launch was announced on 2026-05-13.⁶ Webull maintains an official Agentic Trading product page.⁷

Implementation details

• Cloud endpoint: https://api.webull.com/mcp (a configuration URL, not a page to open).¹
• Cloud auth: OAuth authorization code flow. Each account gets a Non-Trading capability (data and account info only) or a Trading capability (adds trade instructions).¹ The protected-resource metadata lists scopes account:read, order:read, order:write, market:read, instrument:read and instruction:all.⁸
• Cloud order tools: place_stock_instruction, place_option_single_instruction, place_option_strategy_instruction, place_futures_instruction, place_crypto_instruction, place_event_instruction and place_algo_instruction, each documented as needing confirmation in the Webull app or desktop.¹
• Local MCP: runs with uvx webull-openapi-mcp, needs an App Key and App Secret, supports 2FA, and defaults to the UAT sandbox until you set WEBULL_ENVIRONMENT=prod.³
• CLI: Webull also publishes an OpenAPI CLI, labelled an alpha preview.⁹ A related official repo, webull-openapi-skills, provides agent skills for the OpenAPI CLI with configurable risk controls.¹⁰

Guardrails and risks

Guardrail	Where it is enforced	Sources
Cloud: every trade needs separate confirmation in Webull	Server side (broker)	21
Cloud: Non-Trading capability blocks order instructions	Server side (broker)	1
Local: notional and quantity limits, symbol whitelist	In the local server you run (configurable)	3
Local: sandbox by default	In the local server you run	3
Local: no broker-side approval step documented		3

The local server’s limits live in your own configuration, so anyone who can change its environment variables can change them.³

How to build against it

• Lowest risk: connect Cloud MCP with the Non-Trading capability first, then switch the account to Trading when you want instructions you confirm in the app.¹
• Automation: run the local OpenAPI MCP in UAT, set notional limits and a symbol whitelist, and only then move to prod.³

See Connect an MCP client.

Unknown so far

• Cloud MCP limits, notifications and paper mode: unknown.
• Exact order types per region: unknown.
• Agent terms of use: not yet in the source batch.
