# Claude

Light Horse connects to Claude through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once configured, you can manage your brokerage account, check positions, and place trades directly from Claude environment - Claude Desktop, Claude Code, claude.ai or mobile.

## Configure the MCP Connector

Open **Claude Desktop → Customize → Connectors**. Click the Plus button and choose **Add custom connector**. Fill in the following:

- **Name**: anything you like, for example *Light Horse*
- **Remote MCP Server URL**: `https://portal.lighthorse.io/mcp`

Claude will open a browser window to authorize access to your Light Horse account via OAuth. If your browser is already authenticated, it will redirect back automatically.

## Start Trading

Once connected, ask Claude anything about your account. For example:

- "Deposit a $1000 and invest it to SPY please."
- "How is my Light Horse portfolio doing today?"
- "Place a limit order for 10 shares of AAPL at $200."
- "Show me my latest tax form."
