Robinhood Agentic Trading
Connect to Robinhood Agentic Trading via MCP. This skill lets OpenClaw access your Robinhood Agentic account — view portfolio, analyze positions, place trades, and execute automated strategies.
Setup
The MCP client (rh-client.mjs) handles OAuth 2.1 PKCE authentication to https://agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading and manages token storage/refresh automatically.
Prerequisites
- Robinhood Agentic access (still rolling out — you'll get an email)
- A dedicated Agentic account (created during OAuth flow)
- Node.js ≥ 18
Install Dependencies
cd robinhood-agentic
pnpm install
First-time Auth
node rh-client.mjs auth
The script will:
- Discover Robinhood's OAuth endpoints
- Generate a PKCE challenge
- Print an authorization URL → Open this in a desktop browser (mobile redirects to the Robinhood app which doesn't support the Agentic flow)
- Log into Robinhood, authorize the agent
- You'll be redirected to
http://localhost:1455/callback?code=XXXX... - Copy the full redirect URL and paste it back into the terminal
- Tokens are stored in
.rh-tokens.json(gitignored, mode 0600)
Usage
All commands output to stdout. Errors and status messages go to stderr.
Check auth status
node rh-client.mjs status
Returns a JSON object with authenticated, expired, expiresAt, hasRefreshToken, and savedAt.
List available MCP tools
node rh-client.mjs list-tools
Returns a JSON array of tool definitions with names, descriptions, and input schemas.
Call a tool
node rh-client.mjs call <tool_name> '<json_args>'
# Or with stdin for complex args:
echo '{"symbol": "AAPL"}' | node rh-client.mjs call get_equity_quotes -
Output depends on the MCP tool response — may be plain text or JSON. Error messages go to stderr.
Refresh token (auto)
Token refresh happens automatically when the access token is within 5 minutes of expiry (only if a refresh token is available). No manual intervention needed unless the refresh token itself expires.
What OpenClaw Can Do
After auth, OpenClaw can call any tool Robinhood exposes through the MCP server. Based on official docs, the available tools are:
Read-only tools (portfolio, positions, quotes, etc.) work on all your Robinhood accounts. Trading tools (place/cancel orders) are restricted to the dedicated Agentic account — fund it separately.

Security Notes
- Separate account: The Agentic account is separate from your main Robinhood account — fund it with what you're comfortable with the agent managing
- Tokens stored locally: OAuth tokens in
.rh-tokens.jsonwith restrictive 0600 permissions (gitignored, never committed) - Orders execute immediately:
place_equity_ordersends the order directly with no app-side confirmation prompt. The only preview is thereview_equity_orderMCP call — use it before placing. - Pre-trade preview only in MCP: The
review_equity_ordertool is the only pre-trade check (returns quote + alerts);place_equity_orderskips any app-side prompt entirely. - Instant shutdown: You can revoke agent access anytime from Robinhood account settings.
