PLANTATION, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TradeStation Securities, Inc. (“TradeStation Securities”), an award-winning^†, self-clearing online brokerage firm for trading stocks, options, futures, and futures options, announced the release of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) connection, built by its affiliate TradeStation Technologies, Inc. The initial release is configured to work with Claude, an AI assistant developed by Anthropic, PBC, with enhancements coming soon to work with additional popular AI platforms for users to choose from. Building on TradeStation’s reputation for delivering high-end trading technology and reliable brokerage services, the new service underscores the company’s commitment to sophisticated traders.
