Setup steps

Add a Nyria strategy's MCP server URL to Claude or Cursor. Then connect your tastytrade account in Nyria. Each agent alert becomes an order in your own tastytrade account. Nyria connects live tastytrade accounts only, so test it free on Nyria Paper first.

  1. 1Connect tastytrade. Open Integrations and select the tastytrade card. Under Live trading, select Connect live account, sign in at tastytrade and select Authorize. tastytrade connects live accounts only. Nyria imports every account under the login.
  2. 2Create an AI Agent strategy. In Nyria, select Create strategy and pick AI Agent (MCP) as the alert source. Choose stocks or options as the asset type, then select Create draft. On the Integration tab's Alert format card, select Check format. Once every example passes, the strategy turns Active and can take a bot.
  3. 3Connect your AI agent. Select Show URL and copy the MCP server URL. In Claude, add it as a custom connector and choose No sign in. Cursor reads it from mcp.json. ChatGPT connects it on Business, Enterprise and Edu plans. On Business, an admin or owner adds it. Keep it private, because the token inside is the key.
  4. 4Preview, then test on paper. Ask the agent to preview an alert, such as OPEN AAPL LONG. A preview shows how Nyria reads it and places nothing. Send real alerts to a Nyria Paper bot before a live one. The Logs tab shows every alert the agent sends.
  5. 5Deploy a bot. On the strategy, select Deploy bot. Pick the tastytrade account on the Account step and set a Budget per entry. Live bots need a Nyria Pro plan or a Premium strategy you have bought. The next alert becomes an order.

What an AI agent alert must say

Nyria needs the ticker, the side, and whether it opens or closes a position. It reads plain text or JSON in your own wording. There is no template to follow. For options, Provided in alert reads the strike, expiry and call or put. From my rules picks the contract.

Your agent sends each alert as one message, in plain text or JSON. A clear format, such as OPEN SPY LONG, is read directly. Other wording goes to an AI model, so have the agent preview it first.

An alert cannot set the size: each bot's budget per entry does. Exits come from your exit alerts.

A stock entry

OPEN NVDA LONG

Buy NVDA. The alert carries no size. Each bot sizes it from its own settings.

An exit

CLOSE NVDA LONG

Close the NVDA position, matched against what the bot is holding.

What tastytrade does with it

tastytrade connects through its own sign-in (OAuth). The password goes to tastytrade and never to Nyria. Nyria can read accounts, balances and positions and place and cancel orders. It cannot move money.

Options go to tastytrade as single legs or spreads up to 4 legs. A spread is one order. tastytrade needs options approval for the trade. Defined-risk spreads need a margin account with the Basic options permission or higher.

Crypto trading is disabled through tastytrade's API since June 29, 2026. A crypto alert fails the entry with a crypto unavailable notice. Use Alpaca or Nyria Paper for crypto.

Each alert becomes a market or a limit order, as the strategy sets it. Duration is Day or GTC. Fill or kill goes as Day. Stops and targets are exit alerts. An exit alert can flatten a position. A bots list in the alert picks which bots trade.

Questions

Yes, over Nyria's MCP server. An agent such as Claude or Cursor sends alerts to a Nyria strategy. A bot on your tastytrade account places each one as a real order.
Does tastytrade have its own MCP server?
Yes, tastytrade publishes an open-source MCP server you host yourself. It gates order submission behind a dry-run confirmation. On Nyria, the agent's alerts go to a strategy you test on Nyria Paper.
How do I cut the agent off?
Select Rotate token on the strategy's Integration tab and confirm. The old URL stops working at once. Then paste the new URL into any client you still use.
Does Nyria hold my tastytrade login?
No. You sign in at tastytrade. Nyria gets a token that places and cancels orders. It can't move money, and it's encrypted at rest.

Nyria connects live tastytrade accounts only, so run the strategy on Nyria Paper first. When the log reads right, deploy a second bot on tastytrade.
