Continue

Continue is an open-source IDE plugin for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. Use it if you prefer open-source tools with local IDE integration.

Prerequisites

• VS Code or JetBrains IDE
• Continue extension installed
• Your FIX credentials (see Before You Start

Portal Token Method (Recommended)

Continue primarily uses Bearer token auth via environment variables.

Step 1: Generate a Token

Visit in your browser:

https://mcp.axiory.ai/token-portal

1. Select your broker server
2. Enter your FIX credentials
3. Choose trading mode
4. Click Generate Token
5. Copy the token

Step 2: Store Token

Set the token in your environment:

export AXIORY_TOKEN="your-token-here"

Add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc to persist:

echo 'export AXIORY_TOKEN="your-token-here"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Step 3: Configure Continue

The Continue config file depends on your IDE:

VS Code: Edit ~/.continue/config.yaml

mcpServers:
  - name: axiory-ai
    type: streamable-http
    url: https://mcp.axiory.ai/mcp
    env:
      AUTHORIZATION: "Bearer ${{ secrets.AXIORY_TOKEN }}"

JetBrains (IntelliJ, PyCharm, etc.): Similar config in Continue settings.

Step 4: Add Token to Continue Secrets

In Continue settings:

1. Go to Settings > Secrets
2. Click + Add Secret
3. Name: AXIORY_TOKEN
4. Value: Your token from the Token Portal
5. Click Save

Step 5: Restart IDE

Close and reopen your IDE to load the token.

Using in Continue

Once configured:

Ask Continue: Show me my cTrader account positions

Ask Continue: What's the current EURUSD price?

Ask Continue: Buy 100,000 units of EURUSD at market

Making Your First Trade

In Continue:

“I want to place a buy order for EURUSD, 50,000 units. Can you do that?”

Continue will:

1. Fetch quotes
2. Check risk limits
3. Place the order (or simulate in paper mode)
4. Show you the confirmation

Token Rotation

Portal tokens expire after 30 days. Before expiry:

1. Visit the Token Portal
2. Generate a new token
3. Update your Continue secrets with the new token
4. Restart your IDE

If your token expires, you’ll see “401 Unauthorized”. Generate a new one.

Troubleshooting

”MCP server not found” or connection fails

Check:

1. Config file exists: ~/.continue/config.yaml (VS Code) or Continue settings (JetBrains)
2. YAML syntax is valid (no indentation errors)
3. Server URL is correct: https://mcp.axiory.ai/mcp
4. Token is set in Continue secrets
5. Restart your IDE

”Invalid credentials” in the Token Portal

Your FIX credentials are wrong:

1. Go to cTrader Settings > FIX API
2. Copy SenderCompID exactly (with all dots and numbers)
3. Copy FIX API Password exactly (NOT your login password)
4. Generate a new token

”401 Unauthorized”

Your token has expired or is invalid:

1. Check if the token is in Continue secrets
2. If expired, generate a new one at the Token Portal
3. Update the secret
4. Restart your IDE

Continue can’t find the secret

Make sure:

1. Secret is set in Continue settings (name: AXIORY_TOKEN)
2. Config references it: ${{ secrets.AXIORY_TOKEN }}
3. Restarted IDE after adding the secret

Alternative: OAuth (if supported)

Some versions of Continue may support OAuth. If so:

Edit ~/.continue/config.yaml:

mcpServers:
  - name: axiory-ai
    type: streamable-http
    url: https://mcp.axiory.ai/mcp

When you first use cTrader tools, Continue may prompt for OAuth authentication. If so, complete the browser flow.

Next Steps

• Operating Modes — Understand readonly, paper, and live
• Risk Limits — Position size and daily loss limits
• Choosing an Agent — Compare with other MCP clients

Continue is great for integrating trading into your development workflow. Start with paper mode to test.
