Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.
How to read this
An SDK or wrapper is code that turns an API into the functions of a programming language. Official means the record says it comes from the provider. Community means it is maintained by someone else, which can be well kept or abandoned: read the repository before you depend on it.
Within each language the libraries are in order of broker name. The order is not a ranking. A library whose record names several languages appears under each of them.
Agent Skills
| For | Library | Kind | Note from the record | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cTrader Open API | spotware/ctrader-skills (Agent Skills) | Official | Spotware's official Agent Skills repository: two skills, ctrader-cli and ctrader-mcp-servers, the latter with five helper scripts for pip maths and position sizing. Works with any agent supporting the Agent Skills specification, including Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, Cline and OpenCode, plus a native Claude Code plugin. The licence is proprietary under the Spotware EULA, not open source, which matters if you plan to redistribute. | github.comchecked |

| cTrader Open API | cTrader Remote and Local MCP servers | Official | Two official servers launched on 14 May 2026. Remote is driven from cTrader Web with per-account tokens; Local attaches to the desktop app and also controls charts, indicators, plugins, workspaces, UI layout and price alerts. When trading is enabled an agent can place, modify and close real orders, and the confirmation requirement is an MCP server setting rather than a broker-enforced step. | ctrader.comchecked |
| Interactive Brokers | IBKR MCP public endpoint | Official | Hosted by IBKR at https://api.ibkr.com/v1/api/mcp-public and open to any MCP client. Connector 1.1.5 of 1 Sep 2026 is reported as the release that opened it. IBKR's AI integrations page carries no connector version and no such date, so that version and date are unverified, checked 19 Sep 2026. Read only: instructions never become orders automatically. Credentials are never passed to the AI application, and consent is revoked in Client Portal under Settings, Manage Third-Party Consents. Not available in India or Japan. | ibkrguides.comchecked |

| Interactive Brokers | ib_async | Community | Community successor to ib_insync; 2.1.0 released Dec 2025. Migration note. ib_insync has been archived since March 2024 and ib_async is its maintained successor, but the archived package is still the more installed of the two: 640,258 against 556,555 over the same rolling 30 days to 23 Sep 2026, both from the pypistats.org /recent last_month counter. The 755,366 reading this page carried was taken on 20 Sep 2026 and is superseded by the 23 Sep reading above, not by a correction to it. If a tutorial tells you to install ib_insync, install ib_async instead: pip uninstall ib_insync, pip install ib_async, then change the import from ib_insync to ib_async. The class and method names are kept, so most scripts run unchanged. | pypi.orgchecked |
