Kite FAQs

Question 1

What is Kite and how does it automate trading?

Accepted Answer

Kite is a command-based system that automates stock buy/sell operations on Zerodha. It leverages the KiteConnect API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) to execute trades programmatically through specific commands like `buy-stock` and `sell-stock`.

Question 2

How does the Model Context Protocol (MCP) enhance Kite's functionality?

Accepted Answer

MCP provides Kite with a modular, structured framework for its trading commands. This allows for clear, defined interfaces (like `buy-stock` and `sell-stock`) that can be easily called by other integrated tools or AI models, such as Claude.

Question 3

Is Kite secure for handling sensitive trading information?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Kite prioritizes security by handling API keys and secrets through secure environment variables (`.env`). Additionally, all trade inputs undergo robust validation using Zod to prevent erroneous or malicious data entry.

Question 4

What are the technical advantages of using Kite?

Accepted Answer

Kite is built with Bun and TypeScript, providing a fast and type-safe execution environment. This ensures efficient processing of trading commands and reliable performance for automated operations.

Question 5

Can Kite be integrated with other AI tools or interfaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Kite is designed for integration. It exposes its functionality via MCP command calls from a local server, making it compatible with AI tools like Claude or any other custom interface that can send JSON-formatted command requests.
