How to Set Up and Use Openfinclaw
OpenFinClaw is a one-stop quantitative trading AI agent accessible via MCP that handles the full research-to-trade lifecycle: market research, strategy design, backtesting, and paper trading — all from a single natural language prompt. It exposes 14 DeepAgent tools for remote research submission and backtest retrieval plus 7 local FEP v2.0 Strategy tools for publishing and validation, and integrates with Claude Code, Cursor, and 20+ other AI platforms. A 60-second installer handles MCP configuration and skill registration automatically across all detected platforms.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and npx available on your machine
- An OpenFinClaw API key (fch_... format) obtained from hub.openfinclaw.ai
- Claude Code, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible AI client installed
- An internet connection for remote DeepAgent research and backtest execution
Run the automatic installer
The installer detects your installed AI platforms, configures MCP servers, and registers OpenFinClaw skills automatically in about 60 seconds.
npx @openfinclaw/cli@latest installProvide your API key during setup
When prompted, enter your OpenFinClaw API key. You can get a key at hub.openfinclaw.ai. The key starts with fch_ and is stored in ~/.openfinclaw/config.json.
# If you prefer non-interactive installation:
npx @openfinclaw/cli@latest install --yes --platforms cursor,claude-code --api-key fch_your_key_hereVerify the installation
Test that the DeepAgent tools are accessible by running a quick research query from the command line.
openfinclaw deepagent +research "What is the current trend in US tech stocks?"Configure manually if needed
If the automatic installer doesn't detect your platform, add the MCP server configuration manually to your Claude Code settings.
Restart your AI client
After installation, restart Claude Code, Cursor, or your other AI client so the new MCP server configuration takes effect.

OPENFINCLAW_API_KEY is invalid or authentication fails
Ensure you are using a valid API key obtained from hub.openfinclaw.ai. Keys start with fch_. You can reset or regenerate your key from the hub dashboard. Check that the key is set in the env block of your MCP config, not just as a shell environment variable.
openfinclaw command not found after running the installer
The installer places the CLI in a global npm bin directory. Run `npx @openfinclaw/cli@latest --version` to verify it works via npx. Alternatively, install globally with `npm install -g @openfinclaw/cli` and then run `openfinclaw --version`.
DeepAgent research tasks time out or return pending status
DeepAgent tasks are executed remotely and may take 30-120 seconds to complete. Use the polling tools (check research status, retrieve backtest results) rather than expecting an immediate response. If a task stays pending for more than 5 minutes, check your API key quota at hub.openfinclaw.ai.
