The AI-native prop firm
Connect your own AI to a funded challenge · 2026
WICK FUNDED is built AI-first: a public, documented first-party REST API and a native one-click MCP (OAuth) connection let you wire your own AI — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or a custom agent — directly to a simulated funded account to read it and place, close or modify trades. Most prop firms give you a trading platform and little that's machine-readable; a few expose APIs, but a native one-click MCP connection is still rare.
How prop firms compare on AI / API access
Some firms expose a platform — or even a first-party API; what is still rare is a native one-click MCP/OAuth connection that drops an AI straight onto the account. The table is the programmatic-access layer (last verified June 2026 — verify on each firm's site); for the full feature comparison see each firm's page.

FAQ
Which prop firm has a public API?
WICK FUNDED has a public, documented first-party REST API for its funded accounts, with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec at /api/v1/openapi. A few firms expose APIs (for example Topstep via TopstepX/ProjectX, E8 via its terminal); the forex incumbents (FTMO, FundedNext, FundingPips) typically give you only the trading platform (MT4/MT5/cTrader). Verify each on the firm's site — last checked June 2026.
Can I connect ChatGPT or Claude to a funded trading account?
Yes — WICK FUNDED has a native one-click MCP (Model Context Protocol) connection, so you connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor via OAuth at https://wickfunded.com/api/mcp and your AI can read the account and place, close or modify trades on your simulated account. A native one-click MCP connection is still rare among prop firms.
What does "AI-native prop firm" mean?
An AI-native prop firm is built so a trader can wire their own AI to the account, not just trade by hand. WICK FUNDED ships a public REST API, an MCP/OAuth connection for Claude/ChatGPT/Cursor, and a built-in AI coach that reviews every trade — the firm exposes machine-readable tools, not only a human UI.
Is algorithmic or AI-agent trading allowed on WICK FUNDED?
Yes, on your own account: read your data and open, close or modify your own trades programmatically or via an AI agent. Not allowed: sharing keys, group signal-mirroring across accounts you do not own, or sustained pure-HFT/latency-arbitrage (>50 orders/min). All accounts are simulated. See Terms §8.
