Configuration

Environment Variables

The server requires these environment variables for authentication:

Variable	Description
ZERODHA_USER_ID	Your Zerodha client ID (e.g., AB1234)
ZERODHA_PASSWORD	Your Zerodha login password
ZERODHA_TOTP_KEY	Your TOTP secret key (32-character base32 string)

Getting Your TOTP Key

Your TOTP secret key is the 32-character code you used when setting up 2FA in Google Authenticator/Authy. It looks like: ABCD1234EFGH5678IJKL9012MNOP3456

If you don't have it saved, reset 2FA in Zerodha Console to get a new one.

• "Show me my open positions"
• "What's my P&L for today?"
• "How much funds do I have available?"
• "What's the LTP of RELIANCE?"
• "Get OHLC for NIFTY 50"
• "What was my F&O profit in 2024?"
• "Show me my daily P&L for last month"

Security Notes

• Your credentials are stored locally in your MCP config file
• Credentials are never sent to the AI model, only used server-side
• Tokens are cached locally in zerodha_enctoken.txt and zerodha_console_token.txt (gitignored)
• Each user must configure their own credentials on their own machine
