MetaQuotes released MetaTrader 5 Build 6030 beta on Thursday, July 16, 2026, integrating native AI agents directly into charts, market data, and execution workflows using the Model Context Protocol. The update marks a shift from previous coding-focused AI tools to platform-wide agent access, allowing traders to connect external AI systems like Codex and Claude without vendor lock-in. The bundled AI Assistant can analyze markets, explain trading activity, generate Expert Advisors, and support strategy testing.
This move aligns MetaQuotes with broader industry adoption of open AI protocols. Spotware’s cTrader AI Agent Connect, TradingView’s AI Chart Copilot browser extension, and ThinkMarkets’ MCP server all enable third-party AI integration through standardized interfaces rather than proprietary systems. Build 6030 also introduces unified client accounts secured with passkeys for multi-account management and expands the Ultency liquidity engine with synthetic instruments and floating execution markups.
