A developer demonstrated a workflow where Claude controls the TradingView Desktop app in real time from a terminal using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Developer Himanshu Kumar (@codewithimanshu) shared a demonstration of Anthropic's Claude controlling the TradingView Desktop application live from a terminal interface. By utilizing a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects to the application via the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP), the agent is able to perform actions such as switching symbols, writing and debugging Pine Script, and running batch scans on active charts.
Connecting terminal-based LLMs like Claude to local desktop applications via CDP bypasses the need for official APIs, turning static charting software into highly interactive, automated developer sandboxes.
* Using Chrome DevTools Protocol to bridge desktop apps with LLMs represents a lightweight, powerful method for local UI automation.
* Automating repetitive charting tasks and Pine Script writing directly from the command line significantly increases research velocity for developers and traders.
* Exposing local ports for application control requires strict security awareness when executing commands from autonomous AI agents.
