cTrader CLI is a new standalone tool from Spotware Systems that lets traders connect AI apps to cTrader and manage trading tasks with natural-language commands. The company said users can do this without opening the platform’s graphical interface. As a result, traders can run tasks from a local command-line application on their own computer.
The tool supports live trading, cBot execution, backtesting, strategy optimisation, and access to market and account data. Spotware said it built the product for professional algo traders who want deeper AI use in daily work. Moreover, the company said traders can pass repetitive tasks to AI agents that run in the background.
cTrader CLI Adds AI Tool Access
Through cTrader CLI, traders can link tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf and Gemini CLI. These AI applications can pull price and historical data, check trading history and exposure, and manage orders and positions. Additionally, they can set alerts and run cBots and backtests through natural-language instructions.
Spotware said the new tool works alongside its existing MCP servers rather than replacing them. The company said the CLI targets light command-line automation. Meanwhile, MCP servers serve AI agents that need direct, UI-based interaction with the platform.
Spotware Cites Demand for Algo Tools
The launch also expands cTrader’s algo trading features. Users can test and optimise cBots and watch strategies without using the main application interface. Therefore, the tool gives traders another way to handle automated trading work.
Sergey Borisov, Head of Product Development at Spotware, said the release answers growing demand for algo and AI-assisted tools. He added that cTrader CLI gives advanced traders the freedom to use AI to run and automate trading without a graphical interface. Spotware said cTrader serves more than 11 million traders and over 300 brokers and prop firms worldwide.
