How to Use the IBKR (Interactive Brokers) MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I connect CrewAI to my IBKR (Interactive Brokers) account?

Pass your Vinkius MCP Server URL directly into the mcps parameter when defining your CrewAI agents. The agents automatically discover and use tools like placeorder and getportfolioledger based on their assigned tasks.

Q: Can a CrewAI agent modify pending orders on IBKR (Interactive Brokers)?

Yes, an agent assigned to execution tasks can use the modifyorder tool to adjust prices or quantities. You can set strict rules in your crew's prompt to define the boundaries of these modifications.

Q: How do CrewAI agents share market data from IBKR (Interactive Brokers)?

Agents use CrewAI's shared memory to pass results from getmarketdatasnapshot to other team members. This ensures your analysis agent and execution agent are always working with the exact same price data.

Autonomous Multi-Agent Trading Desks

The `place_order` tool acts as the execution mechanism for your autonomous trading crew. In an MCP setup, you can assign a Researcher Agent to monitor markets using `get_market_data_snapshot` while an Executor Agent handles the actual order placement. This division of labor prevents execution bottlenecks. If the Researcher Agent detects a shift in market trends, it signals the Executor Agent to call `modify_order` or `cancel_order` to protect your active capital.

Automated Portfolio Auditing with CrewAI

The `get_portfolio_ledger` tool provides your audit agent with an instantaneous view of all cash allocations and margin balances. The agent compares this ledger against your target asset allocation model to identify portfolio drift. When drift is detected, the audit agent coordinates with your execution agent to rebalance the account. This entire process runs autonomously, relying on `get_account_summary` to verify that your buying power supports the required transactions.

Multi-Step Reporting and Session Keep-Alives

The `send_flex_request` tool generates detailed activity statements that your reporting agent retrieves via `get_flex_statement`. This allows your crew to compile daily performance reports and write them to your internal databases without human intervention. To keep these multi-agent operations running 24/7, a dedicated monitor agent runs `tickle_session` on a continuous loop. This maintains your Client Portal API connection, ensuring your crew never loses access to the brokerage during active market hours.

Setup guide

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke IBKR (Interactive Brokers) tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="IBKR (Interactive Brokers) Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze IBKR (Interactive Brokers) data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct IBKR (Interactive Brokers) access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent IBKR (Interactive Brokers) transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)
