Axi announced on 9 October that eligible MT5 accounts could connect to Anthropic’s Claude, allowing customers to inspect account data and place or manage trades through a conversational interface. A 14 October wire release publicised the same integration. Its commercial significance is an additional route into existing brokerage accounts.[1][2]
The service uses Model Context Protocol, which connects an AI application to external data and tools. Axi’s setup page labels the service an alpha test and describes authorisation through an Axi sign-in. Once connected, Claude can retrieve prices, balances, positions and trade history, and invoke the available MT5 trading tools.[3]
The current capabilities guide is more specific than the setup page’s MT5-only shorthand. It permits account details and financial statements for MT4, MT5 and Axi trading-platform accounts, while restricting trade execution to MT5. The connection guide still requires an active MT5 account to establish the connection; having only another account type is insufficient.[4][6]
Connection approval and trade approval are separate
The documented choices when Claude requests a tool
| Permission | Effect |
|---|---|
| Allow once | Approve the current request only. |
| Always allow | Approve that specific action for future use without another individual prompt. |
| Deny | Block the action. |
Axi separates read-only and trading-tool permissions so customers can configure them independently. Its landing page says trade actions require explicit chat approval, but the detailed help qualifies that statement: a trading tool set to Always allow can execute without a fresh confirmation each time. Approving the connection is therefore not the whole authority decision.[5][3]
For operations and customer support, the trading platform remains the primary record of balances, positions and orders. Axi’s connection guide tells customers to verify execution there and contact Axi about unexpected transactions. It also makes clear that Claude’s interpretation comes from Anthropic’s AI and is not Axi’s advice.[6]
Disconnecting stops subsequent account access and new tasks through the connector, but it does not erase information already shared in Claude conversations. That distinction matters where balances, account identifiers, positions or history have entered a third-party application.[5][6]
