When you want an assistant to look at a price chart, you normally have to open TradingView, set it up, screenshot, and paste. This does that for you: name a ticker and a timeframe and it captures the chart image directly. Handy for reviewing several symbols in a row without repeating the same clicks. It works in Claude Desktop and Cursor, needs no account, and drives a browser behind the scenes.

MCP Server - TradingView Chart Image Scraper

smithery badge

This MCP server provides tools to fetch TradingView chart images based on ticker and interval.

Setup

  1. Create Virtual Environment:

    # Navigate to the project directory
cd tradingview-chart-mcp
# Create the venv (use python3 if python is not linked)
python3 -m venv .venv

  2. Activate Virtual Environment:

    • macOS/Linux: 
      source .venv/bin/activate
    • Windows (Git Bash/WSL): 
      source .venv/Scripts/activate
    • Windows (Command Prompt): 
      .venv\\Scripts\\activate.bat
    • Windows (PowerShell): 
      .venv\\Scripts\\Activate.ps1
      (Note: You might need to adjust PowerShell execution policy: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser)

    Your terminal prompt should now indicate you are in the (.venv).

  3. Install Dependencies (inside venv):

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  4. Configure Environment (for Local Testing):

    • Copy .env.example to .env.
    • Fill in your TRADINGVIEW_SESSION_ID and TRADINGVIEW_SESSION_ID_SIGN in the .env file. You can obtain these from your browser's cookies after logging into TradingView.
    • This .env file is used when running the server directly (e.g., python main.py) for local testing.
    • Adjust optional scraper settings (MCP_SCRAPER_HEADLESS, etc.) in .env if needed for local runs.

  5. Ensure ChromeDriver: Make sure chromedriver is installed and accessible in your system's PATH, or configure the tview-scraper.py accordingly if it allows specifying a path.

Running the Server

Ensure your virtual environment is activated (source .venv/bin/activate or equivalent).

python main.py

Deactivating the Virtual Environment

When you are finished, you can deactivate the environment:

It is documented for Claude Desktop and Cursor.
Can I request several charts at once?
