Overview
LewisWJackson/tradingview-mcp-jackson is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges Claude AI with TradingView alert and webhook system. It enables automated technical analysis, real-time chart monitoring, and structured trade management workflows - all powered by natural language through Claude.
Built on top of the original tradesdontlie/tradingview-mcp by @tradesdontlie.
Architecture
Claude Code → Node.js MCP Server → CDP port 9222 → TradingView Desktop → Exchange
Key insight: Claude is not looking at images. It reads the actual code and values on screen. That means:
- Precise candle positioning (top, bottom, wicks)
- Live updates every second
- No pixel-guessing or delayed screenshots
Core Capabilities
1. Natural Language Chart Analysis
- Pattern recognition: Identify chart patterns (head and shoulders, double tops, wedges)
- Indicator interpretation: Analyze RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, VWAP readings
- Multi-timeframe analysis: Synthesize signals across 1m to monthly charts
- Volume analysis: Evaluate volume profile and on-balance volume signals
2. Morning Brief Workflow
The crown jewel - scan your watchlist, read indicators, apply rules, get session bias:
BTCUSD | BIAS: Bearish | KEY LEVEL: 94,200 | WATCH: RSI crossing 50 on 4H ETHUSD | BIAS: Neutral | KEY LEVEL: 3,180 | WATCH: Ribbon direction on daily SOLUSD | BIAS: Bullish | KEY LEVEL: 178.50 | WATCH: Hold above 20 EMA
3. Automated Alert Management
- create_alert - Set price, indicator, or condition-based alerts
- get_alerts - List all active alerts with their triggers
- modify_alert - Update alert thresholds or conditions
- delete_alert - Remove alerts when conditions change
4. Pine Script Development with AI
Claude writes, injects, compiles, and debugs Pine Scripts:
- pine_set_source - Inject code into editor
- pine_smart_compile - Compile with auto-detection
- pine_get_errors - Read errors if any
- pine_get_console - Read log output
- pine_save - Save to TradingView cloud
5. Automated Trading Execution
- TradingView detects signal (e.g., RSI crosses 70)
- Claude evaluates against your rules.json criteria
- If all conditions pass → Claude executes trade via exchange API
- Trade logged for accounting purposes
- Session saved for later review

Setup
Prerequisites: TradingView Desktop app (paid), Node.js 18+, Claude Code, macOS/Windows/Linux
One-Shot Setup
Paste this into Claude Code:
Set up TradingView MCP Jackson for me. Clone https://github.com/LewisWJackson/tradingview-mcp-jackson.git to ~/tradingview-mcp-jackson, then add it to my MCP config at ~/.claude/.mcp.json (merge with any existing servers). The config block is: { “mcpServers”: { “tradingview”: { “command”: “node”, “args”: [“/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/tradingview-mcp-jackson/src/server.js”] } } } - replace YOUR_USERNAME with my actual username. Then copy rules.example.json to rules.json and verify with tv_health_check.
Manual Setup
git clone https://github.com/LewisWJackson/tradingview-mcp-jackson.git ~/tradingview-mcp-jackson cd ~/tradingview-mcp-jackson cp rules.example.json rules.json ./scripts/launch_tv_debug_mac.sh # Mac tv_health_check # Verify
