Zerodha publishes an official connector that lets Claude read your Kite account. Ask about your holdings in plain English and get an answer from your real numbers — no screenshots, no exports, no spreadsheet.
Most people check their portfolio the same way every time. Open Kite, look at the holdings page, squint at the red and green, and close it again. Anything past that — which sector you are actually overweight in, what your real cost is after a year of SIPs, which position is quietly carrying the whole return — means exporting to Excel and building it yourself.
Zerodha now publishes an official connector that hands that job to an AI. Connect it once and you can ask about your own portfolio in ordinary language.
What is actually being connected
The connector is an MCP server — Model Context Protocol, an open standard for giving an AI assistant a safe, defined doorway into an outside system. Zerodha's is called Kite MCP, and it is their own, not a third-party scraper.
The important part is what MCP is not. You are not pasting your holdings into a chat box, and you are not giving an AI company your broker password. The assistant gets a specific set of permitted actions against your account, and you approve the login yourself.
How to connect it
Zerodha hosts the server, so there is nothing to install and no API key to generate:
- Open Claude and go to the connectors or integrations section of your settings.
- Add a remote MCP server pointing at
https://mcp.kite.trade/mcp. - Ask Claude anything about your portfolio. The first request returns a Zerodha login link.
- Log in through Kite as you normally would. You are authenticating with Zerodha, on Zerodha's page.
That is the whole setup. Claude Desktop users who prefer a config file can point mcp-remote at the same URL instead.
What you can ask once it is connected
The connector exposes holdings, positions, mutual fund investments, order history, margins and live quotes. Which means the questions stop being "show me my holdings" and start being the ones you would actually pay an analyst to answer:
- Which of my holdings is carrying most of my return this year, and what happens to the total if I take it out?
- How concentrated am I in banking and financials, counting the mutual funds as well as the direct stocks?
- What is my actual average cost on this position after every top-up, not the number I remember?
- Which positions have I been holding long enough for long-term treatment?
- Summarise what changed in my portfolio this month and why.
The difference is not that the AI is clever. It is that it is answering from your numbers rather than general advice — and it will do the arithmetic across every holding without you building a sheet first.
Two things to be careful about
The connector can place orders, not just read. Order placement, modification and cancellation are part of what Kite MCP supports. That is useful and it is also the reason to pay attention to what you approve. Read what the assistant proposes before you confirm it, and treat "buy" the way you would treat any other irreversible action.
An AI is not a financial adviser. It is very good at reading, sorting and summarising what is already in your account. It does not know your tax situation, your obligations next year, or your appetite for risk. Use it to understand your position faster; keep the decision yours.
Why this matters beyond investing
The interesting thing here is not the portfolio. It is the shape of it.
For years, getting an answer out of a business system meant somebody building a report. MCP changes the direction: the system exposes a doorway, the assistant walks through it, and the person just asks the question. Zerodha did it for broking accounts. The same pattern works for stock, orders, dispatch and ledgers.
That is exactly what we built into TechCure — an assistant inside the ERP that answers questions in plain language from live data, instead of making someone configure a report first. If your business data currently lives somewhere only a report can reach, this is the direction worth watching.
The short version
Zerodha's Kite MCP connector takes about two minutes to set up, needs no API keys, and turns your portfolio into something you can ask questions of. Connect it read-only in your head — be deliberate about anything that places an order — and treat the output as analysis, not advice.
