What if you could ask an AI "show me my positions", "open a 10x BTC long" or "rebalance my wallets" — and it actually did it, on your account? That's no longer hypothetical. The MoonX connector is now live.
Thanks to the MCP protocol, you plug your account directly into an AI assistant like Claude and manage your trading in natural language. This guide explains what the MoonX connector is, what it can do, and above all how to activate it in a few minutes from your security settings.
What is a MoonX connector (MCP)?
A MoonX connector is a secure access that links your MoonX account to an AI assistant via the MCP protocol, so the AI can check your account and execute your orders in natural language. That’s all — but it changes everything.
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol: an open standard that lets an artificial intelligence connect, in a controlled way, to external tools. Instead of remaining a chatbot that just "talks", the AI can now act inside real applications.
Concretely, once the MoonX connector is activated, your assistant has tools linked to your account: reading your balances, tracking your positions, placing orders, managing your risk. You chat normally, and the AI turns your intentions into actions on the platform. No need to know every menu: you say "hedge my exposure" or "set a stop below my entry", and the mechanics happen for you.
What the MoonX connector lets you do
Once connected, the MoonX MCP covers the essentials of your trading activity:
- Account monitoring : spot, futures and forex balances, open positions, pending orders, history and performance stats.
- Futures trading : open long or short positions with leverage, close them fully or partially.
- Forex / CFD trading : place and manage positions on the available pairs.
- Risk management : set, edit or remove take-profit and stop-loss in one sentence.
- Copy trading : follow and copy traders directly from the conversation.
- Fund management : transfer USDT between your wallets (spot, futures, forex) and generate a deposit link.
All of it in natural language. "Put 10% of my capital in an ETH long with a stop at -4%" becomes an executable command, without opening ten tabs. To go deeper on leverage, see our leveraged crypto trading guide.
How to activate your MoonX connector: the step-by-step guide
Good news: activation happens entirely from your account, in just a few minutes.
1. Open your security settings
Log in to your account, then go to moon-x.io/account/security.
2. Find the MCP connectors section
Your AI access lives in the same place as your other security settings — and that’s no coincidence (see below).
3. Generate and activate your connector
Follow the on-screen instructions to create the access and link it to your AI assistant (for example Claude).
4. Add it on the AI side (Claude or the assistant of your choice)
In your MCP-compatible AI assistant, adding it takes a few clicks:
- Click the “+” button.
- Choose “Connector”.
- Click “Add connector”.
- Select “Add custom connector”.
- Paste the link provided by MoonX (retrieved in the previous step on your security page), then confirm.
5. Test it risk-free
Run a simple read-only command: “show me my MoonX account overview”. If the AI returns your balances, everything is up and running.
Tip: always start with read-only commands ("show my positions") before moving on to orders that execute. You build the habit of checking before acting. If you're just getting started, our crypto beginner's guide is a solid foundation.
Security: what the MoonX MCP can — and cannot — do
It's no coincidence that activation lives in your security settings: a connector is access to your account, and it should be treated as such.
Access limited to your own account
The connector is sealed to the logged-in user. It acts on your funds and your positions, nothing else.
No withdrawals possible via the connector
This is a deliberate safeguard: the AI can trade and move funds between your own wallets, but it cannot withdraw money from your account. Even if a command asked for it, the function simply doesn't exist on the connector side. You keep control over what matters most.
As with any access key, never share your connector, and deactivate it from the security page if you no longer use it.
FAQ
Is the MoonX connector paid?
Activation happens from your MoonX account’s security page (moon-x.io/account/security), where you’ll find the up-to-date conditions.
Which AI can I connect to MoonX?
Any assistant compatible with the MCP protocol. Claude, which supports MCP connectors, is the most direct example.
Do I need to know how to code to use the MoonX connector?
No. You manage your trading in natural language, and activation takes just a few clicks in your security settings.
Can the AI drain my MoonX account?
No. Withdrawals are not available via the connector. The AI can trade and transfer between your own wallets, but cannot move your funds out of MoonX.
How do I deactivate the MoonX connector?
From the same security page where you activated it (moon-x.io/account/security). You can cut off access whenever you want.
The MoonX connector transforms the way you trade: you move from the interface to the conversation and delegate the mechanics to the AI, while keeping control of your funds. Account monitoring, orders, take-profit, stop-loss, copy trading — all in one sentence, with withdrawals locked for your security.
