01
Overview
The PrimeAutomation AI connector links your PrimeAutomation account to Claude or ChatGPT. Once it is connected, you can ask in plain language how your portfolio is doing, which bots are running, what positions are open and how your strategies perform. You can also ask for PrimeAutomation's market and strategy analysis.
It can also act on your AI Builder strategies: pause or resume them, close their positions, set stop-loss and take-profit, add or cancel close rules and start strategy research. Every action is shown to you as a preview first and runs only after you approve it in the chat, or, if you turn on auto-approve, without asking again on SIM and demo accounts.
You add the connector to Claude or ChatGPT yourself, as a custom connector, using the server URL above.

Safety and control
You approve every action
Each action is shown to you as a preview and runs only after you approve it in the chat. If you turn on auto-approve, the AI may run its previews without asking again, on SIM and demo accounts only (close rules: SIM only; strategy research always asks): live accounts always ask. It is off by default and you can turn it off at any time in the chat or on Connect your AI.
Your keys stay with us
Your exchange and broker API keys and your sign-in details are never shared with Claude or ChatGPT. You sign in on PrimeAutomation's own page.
Suggestions, not instructions
Sizing and allocation answers are suggestions computed from your own data. They are not financial advice and change nothing on their own.
Disconnect anytime
Remove the connector in Claude or ChatGPT settings. You can also revoke its access from Connect your AI in your PrimeAutomation account, or ask support to revoke it.
08
Data and privacy
When you ask a question, the connector sends the answer (for example your balances, bots, positions or trades) to the AI assistant you are using, and it becomes part of that conversation. Claude and ChatGPT handle conversations under their own privacy policies.
PrimeAutomation keeps a log of what the connector was asked for and of every action it previewed or ran, so you can review it (ask for your connector activity, or see it on Connect your AI). We don't collect anything else for the connector. Your data is handled under our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
09
Limits and troubleshooting
Too many requests
If you ask very often in a short time, the connector asks you to wait a moment. Try again shortly.
US stock accounts
Some values, such as exposure and used margin, are shown only on the PrimeAutomation dashboard.
Market and strategy analysis gives the same answer
It is refreshed every 15 to 60 minutes, so asking again sooner gives the same answer.
I don't see Add custom connector or Add custom MCP server
On Claude Team or Enterprise, or ChatGPT Business or Enterprise, an admin may need to allow custom connectors first.
Not connected or signed out
Remove the connector, add it again with the server URL, then sign in to PrimeAutomation.
An action is missing
Remove the connector and add it again, so you can approve the permissions it has gained since you connected.
An action was refused
Strategy actions work on your AI Builder strategies only, and safety switches and account limits still apply. Strategy research needs the Builder plan, an AI Builder prompt left and AI credits. The message says why; nothing was changed.
Missing data
Check that your exchange or broker account is connected and shows on your PrimeAutomation dashboard.
