@qtrader/alpaca-connector · v1.0.0

Install this kit

This kit reads ./data/**, writes to ./data/**, ./out/**, connects to paper-api.alpaca.markets, api.alpaca.markets, data.alpaca.markets and runs node scripts/alpaca.mjs, node scripts/selftest.mjs. Install it?

1. Check what it will do

Not enforced

claude.ai and the Claude desktop app do not enforce the permissions this kit declares. Nothing stops the kit from doing more than it says; Claude's own approval settings decide what it asks you about.

Command
Runs the command: node scripts/alpaca.mjs (with any arguments, without asking)
Command
Runs the command: node scripts/selftest.mjs (with any arguments, without asking)
Network
Connects to paper-api.alpaca.markets
Network
Connects to api.alpaca.markets
Network
Connects to data.alpaca.markets
Reads
Reads files in ./data/**
Writes
Writes files in ./data/**
Writes
Writes files in ./out/**
Environment
Uses the ALPACA_API_KEY_ID environment variable (its value stays on your machine)
Environment
Uses the ALPACA_API_SECRET_KEY environment variable (its value stays on your machine)
Environment
Uses the ALPACA_LIVE environment variable (its value stays on your machine)

It expects ALPACA_API_KEY_ID, ALPACA_API_SECRET_KEY, ALPACA_LIVE, which are not set in Claude's code sandbox. Steps that need them may not work there.

2. Download it

Download for Claude

Built from the published files after checking the sha256 bd383e1c0ff3… and the platform signature (10aff36bedd43e66). The README inside lists these permissions too.

3. Upload it

In claude.ai or the desktop app, open Customize, then Skills.
Click +, then Create skill, then Upload a skill, and choose the ZIP.
Turn it on. Skills need code execution, under Settings, Capabilities.
Ask Claude for the job the kit does. It picks the skill up on its own.

Rather not upload? Add the connector and ask Claude to use the kit in a chat. Set it up.
