What is Robinhood agentic trading?

Robinhood agentic trading connects an AI agent you already use to a dedicated Robinhood account through Robinhood's Trading MCP server. The agent can read your Robinhood accounts and place trades, but only in that dedicated account.

Launched
27 May 2026, in beta, with equities first.
Trades
Long equities, options and crypto, with market, limit, stop limit and stop market orders.
Reads
All your Robinhood accounts, positions, balances and order history.
Built-in option
Robinhood Agents, announced 29 Sep 2026, runs an agent inside the Robinhood app instead. It is still rolling out, and not all customers have access.

Robinhood: "Agentic trading involves significant risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment."

Add research with sources to Robinhood's MCP

Robinhood's MCP is built to trade: it reads your account, pulls market data and places orders in a dedicated account.

Add the Finks MCP server beside it, and your agent can search in plain English and get back the passages that answer it, each with its source (news, SEC filings and earnings call transcripts).
