This guide shows you how to connect Claude to Portfolio Lab so it can trade your investment strategies. You add Portfolio Lab as a custom connector in Claude, which takes about two minutes and needs no code.

Before you start

You need three things:

  1. A Claude account. Custom connectors work on every plan, including free. Free accounts can add one custom connector.
  2. Your Portfolio Lab feed link, which you copy from the agentic trading page in the app.
  3. A strategy set up in Portfolio Lab with a paper portfolio running.

Connect Portfolio Lab to Claude

  1. In Claude, open Settings and go to Connectors.
  2. Click the plus button next to Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  3. Enter a name, Portfolio Lab, and paste your feed link as the remote MCP server URL.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Click Connect to enable the connector.
  6. Portfolio Lab now appears in your connectors and Claude can read your feed.

Once you're connected

Claude can now read your target weights, but it still needs to know what to do with them. Open the prompt builder in Portfolio Lab to generate a ready-to-use prompt, paste it into Claude, and Claude can start trading your investment strategies.

Frequently asked questions

Which Claude plans support custom connectors?

Every plan, including free. Free accounts can add one custom connector.

Do I need developer mode or any code?

No. Setup is entirely in Claude's settings. You paste a link and enable the connector.

Does this work on mobile and desktop?

Yes. Custom connectors work across the Claude website, the desktop app, and the mobile apps.

Can Claude place trades on its own?

Portfolio Lab's feed is read-only and only provides your target weights. It never places trades. Whether and how your agent places trades depends on the trading tools you connect and your agent's own permission settings, which you control.

Is it safe to connect Claude to Portfolio Lab?

Yes. Portfolio Lab only shares a read-only list of your target weights. It never sees your brokerage account, never sees your balances, and never moves your money or places trades. The only thing that can act on your account is the separate trading tool you set up, which stays under your control.

Safety and control

The feed is read-only. Portfolio Lab sends target weights and nothing else. It cannot see your account, move money, or place trades. Your agent and the trading tools you connect handle execution, and you control their permissions.
