Your agent can already trade. Give it something to trade on.

Robinhood Agentic Trading lets you connect an AI agent to your own brokerage account through Robinhood's Trading MCP server, in a budgeted sub-account you control. That solves execution. It does not tell your agent which of ~560 names is set up today, or whether the tape is worth trading at all — and an agent left to screen the market on its own tends to chase whatever it saw most recently.

Coil is the other half: a scored, ranked board published every market morning, readable as MCP tools, free at a one-day delay. Load both servers in the same client and the loop closes — read the board, then act through your broker.

Setup (about two minutes)

Add the Coil server — free, one market day delayed, no key:

claude mcp add --transport http coil https://coil.trade/mcp

Then add Robinhood's Trading MCP by following Robinhood's own agentic-trading setup (their beta, their consent flow, their budget controls). Any MCP client works for both — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or another host.

For Claude Desktop or Cursor, the Coil half looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coil": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://coil.trade/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The read order that makes it work

The board is meant to be read top-down. Tell your agent to follow it in this order — the discipline is the product, not any single number:

1. get_market_regime first. Is the tape risk-on, be-selective, or stand-down, and does the index → sector → name ladder permit individual names at all? If the regime says stand down, everything below it is context, not a green light.
2. get_buy_list next. Today's ranked candidates per book, with entry windows and leadership flags — instead of your agent screening 560 names itself.
3. get_stock_read or get_sector_read to drill in on anything it is considering, before it commits.
4. Then, and only then, the broker's tools to size and place the order under your budget.

In one call, get_morning_brief returns the regime per book, the top five candidates, the biggest movers and the crypto trend gate — a reasonable first tool call each morning.

A prompt that encodes the discipline

Every morning, before considering any trade:
1. Call coil get_market_regime. If the ladder does not permit names, stop
   and report that the board says stand down. Do not place orders.
2. Call coil get_buy_list and consider ONLY names that appear on it.
3. Call coil get_stock_read on each candidate you are serious about.
4. Size positions from MY rules below, never from Coil - it publishes
   scores and states, not position sizes, stops or targets.
5. Place orders through Robinhood only within the budget I set, and
   show me the plan before you act.

My rules: [your risk limits, max position size, max daily orders]

What the board actually returns

Each scored name carries opp_pct (opportunity, 0–100), entry_q (entry quality — buyable now versus extended), hold_q (trend durability), a state such as firing, ready, setup, wait, chase or falling, plus its sector and leadership flag. Each book carries a regime object with a plain-language verdict and the permission ladder.

Free, and where it stops being free

The MCP tier above is free and serves the full board one market day delayed — genuinely usable for a swing-timeframe agent, which is what this pairing is for. If your agent needs the intraday board (recomputed roughly every five minutes during US market hours), that is the Coil Scanner subscription at $12/month, and the same MCP tools upgrade in place with a license key. Agents with a crypto wallet can also pay per read over x402, no subscription at all.
