Quick Overview

tv-pinescript-backtest-mcp exposes a remote MCP endpoint so agents can:

run strategy backtests by symbol/timeframe/date range,
pass strategy inputs programmatically,
receive structured backtest results (trades, win rate, profit, drawdown),
keep long-running runs observable via progress notifications,
support Binance Futures tickers only,
enforce a maximum of 1440 candles per backtest,
apply a rate limit of 3 backtests per minute per user,
ask your agent to write a strategy and backtest it.

Connect To Your Agent

You need:

Your MCP server URL (https://backtest-engine-mcp.click/mcp/backtest)
Your API key (Bearer token)

Minimal Test Prompt

Try these prompts with your agent:

Optimize my strategy: <pinescript code>

Optimize my strategy from file: sma20.pine

Find a strategy on the internet and backtest it using the tvmcp backtest tool.

Troubleshooting

The backtest-engine server has been tested on 30 strategies and tuned to match TradingView backtests 1:1 as closely as possible. Some operators may still be unsupported.

If you hit this case, please create a minimal strategy that reproduces the issue and submit it in Issues. We will do our best to add support quickly.
