Key takeaway

TradeJournal.co MCP works with Perplexity and other MCP-aware clients using a personal Connect AI token, gateway URL, and the nine read-only tools documented in the TradeJournal MCP tools reference.

Setup steps

  1. Generate a personal MCP token

    Log in → Account Settings → Connect AI → Generate token. Copy once; store only in your AI client config.

  2. Confirm MCP support in your client

    Perplexity MCP availability varies—check Perplexity release notes.

  3. Register TradeJournal server

    URL: http://localhost:3333/mcp (dev) + Bearer token.

Example mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tradejournal": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3333/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer tj_mcp_u_<YOUR_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

FAQ

When your Perplexity build supports custom MCP servers, add TradeJournal with Bearer token and gateway URL; otherwise use Cursor/Claude setup guides or the on-site assistant.

Always get_runtime_context, then use list_trades or get_trade_stats. See the full MCP tools reference for parameters.
