Documentation for tradecli — a terminal-based AI trading assistant for Indian markets.

What is tradecli?

tradecli is a command-line AI agent that drives your browser and MCP-native market tools to research stocks, learn trading, manage portfolios, and analyze live trade setups across NSE and BSE. It connects to Groww and Zerodha through MCP, uses Screener.in and TradingView, and adapts to where you are in your trading journey through five personas: Learner, Investor, Trader, Pro Trader, and Portfolio Manager.

Everything the agent does you can see and audit in your terminal — no hidden actions, no cloud service, your broker credentials stay on your machine.
