Robinhood Agentic Trading

What it is

Robinhood’s own definition: “Robinhood Agentic Trading is a new type of brokerage product that allows customers to connect a third-party AI agent to a dedicated Robinhood account to automate investment decisions and order placement.” It launched in beta on May 27, 2026 with equities support, exposed through a single hosted MCP endpoint. Rollout is gradual and email-gated — Robinhood’s support docs say access is “not available to everyone just yet” and that eligible users are notified by email.

Setup on the seven documented platforms

One MCP endpoint serves every platform: https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading.

# then inside Claude Code:
/mcp        # select robinhood-trading and authenticate

A separate Banking MCP exists at banking-agent.robinhood.com/mcp/banking for the Agentic Credit Card — a different product, not covered by HISS capsules.

The Agentic account

• A dedicated, self-directed individual investing account — the only account where the agent can trade. Everywhere else the agent’s access is read-only (accounts, positions, balances, transaction and order history).
• Requires an active primary individual investing account in good standing.
• Onboarding requires a desktop device (mobile users copy the URL to a desktop browser), and counts toward a maximum of 10 self-directed accounts.
• Setup order: connect the agent via MCP first — authentication triggers the account-creation prompt — then fund it with reserved trading capital. The amount you move in is the ceiling on what any agent can touch.

Controls Robinhood gives the user

• Budget by account separation — the agent can only trade inside the Agentic account, with the capital you chose to reserve there.
• Notifications on each trade, plus a real-time activity feed; all agent activity appears in the account history.
• Trade preview before execution and instant disconnect from the app, any time.
• Autonomy is configurable — and can run without confirmation. Robinhood’s support article is explicit: if you’ve asked your agent to act without approval, “it can place trades without your confirmation.” Review is available but not mandatory. This is exactly why HISS capsules default to simulate-first with per-order human confirmation — HISS never flips a user’s autonomy setting.

Supported assets and tools

Current support (per “Trading with your agent”): long equities and options orders, with all available order types. Crypto Agentic Accounts were announced on July 1, 2026 but are not yet documented in the support docs — treat crypto as announced, not shipped. The roadmap also names event contracts and futures.

The Trading MCP’s documented tool surface includes:

• Account & portfolio: accounts, portfolio snapshot, realized P&L, company search.
• Watchlists and scanners: create, run, and manage.
• Market data: historical OHLCV, fundamentals, technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands), earnings dates, index data.
• Equities and options: positions, quotes, order status, verify tradability, simulate orders, place/cancel — which is why every HISS capsule is written simulate-first: the pre-flight tools are first-class.

Who does what

What a capsule may instruct — and must never instruct — is specified in Execution Capsules.
