Zerodha Kite MCP — the execution layer

India's only first-party brokerage MCP. The standard place to send the actual order.

What it's great at. Zerodha is India's largest discount broker, and Kite MCP is the only first-party brokerage MCP shipping today. If your agent needs to actually trade — place orders, modify, cancel, GTT, manage holdings — this is where it goes. Compose with Genka for the read side: XBRL filings, concall search, MF screener. Two MCP servers in one ~/.config/claude/mcp.json: agent decides on Genka, executes on Kite.

What Kite MCP is great at

Trading, end to end. Place, modify, cancel orders; GTT; positions; holdings; margins. The full execution surface for a Zerodha account.
Live market data. Quotes (LTP, OHLC, depth), historical OHLC, instrument search — sourced directly from the exchange feed Zerodha already pays for.
Hosted + self-hosted. Use mcp.kite.trade directly (hosted version excludes destructive ops by default), or self-host with your own Kite Connect API key.
First-party MCP. Maintained by Zerodha; aligned with their order-API guarantees. Account-tied auth (per-user OAuth, daily token expiry).

Where Genka complements Kite

Quarterly XBRL fundamentals. /companies/{symbol}/ratios, /balance-sheets, /cash-flow-statements, /filings — primary-source NSE XBRL with filing URL per period, FY17 onward.
Concall corpus. /concalls/search?q= (BM25), /concalls/{id} (full transcript), POST /concalls/answer (grounded LLM Q&A with citations). ~23,000 filings indexed.
Mutual funds. mf_screener across 4,700 funds with SEBI category taxonomy; 20y NAV; rolling-window Sharpe / Sortino / max-DD.
Indicator panel. /prices/{symbol}/latest — one call returns 8-window returns (split/bonus-adjusted), DMA 50/200, 52w + all-time hi/lo, RSI(14), MACD, Bollinger, ATR.
Broker-agnostic. One API key, no daily token expiry, no brokerage relationship required.

Compose them: two MCP servers, one config

Drop both into ~/.config/claude/mcp.json:

// ~/.config/claude/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "genka": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://genka.dev/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "${GENKA_API_KEY}" }
    },
    "kite": {
      "transport": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp.kite.trade/sse"
    }
  }
}

Then ask Claude:

# Research with Genka, hand the trade to Kite:
"Find Nifty 500 names with FY26Q3 revenue growth > 20%,
 operating margin expansion, and management guidance turning
 positive on the last concall. For the top 3, place a 1%
 portfolio-weight buy order on Kite."

Working with Kite MCP — gotchas

Daily token expiry. Kite Connect access tokens expire at 6:00 AM IST daily. An agent loop running overnight needs the refresh-on-401 pattern wired in, otherwise it dies at sunrise.
Hosted vs self-hosted. mcp.kite.trade excludes destructive operations by default for safety. To enable order placement etc., set EXCLUDED_TOOLS="" when self-hosting, or read the env-var docs in the repo.
Sandbox is separate. Kite Connect ships a sandbox at api.kite.trade with separate credentials. Test there first; live credentials hit production order books and lose real money.
Rate limits are per-route. Order endpoints are 10 req/sec, market-quote endpoints 1 req/sec, historical 3 req/sec. Hitting one bucket doesn't trip the others, but the SDK doesn't auto-throttle — agent code has to.
