China platform setup

# Connect A-share data in Trae
 Trae works. Add it manually under Settings → MCP with a URL and headers — Trae HTTP configs natively include a headers field.

## Setup
 1 Add manually (recommended)
 Open **Settings** (top right in IDE mode, top right of the chat panel in SOLO mode) → **MCP** in the left nav → **Add** → **Add manually**, paste the block below and confirm:
 Manual configuration
```
{
 "mcpServers": {
 "ashareapi": {
 "url": "https://api.ashareapi.com/mcp",
 "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ct-YOUR-KEY" }
 }
 }
}
``` For free tools only, delete the `headers` line. Once added, `ashareapi` appears in the MCP list and you can expand it to see the tool list.

 2 Prefer per-project config?
 Create `.trae/mcp.json` in the project root with the same content. Then go to **Settings → MCP** and turn on **Enable project-level MCP**, confirming the dialog.
 ⚠️ Project-level config is not loaded by default — without that toggle, `.trae/mcp.json` is ignored.

 3 Use it in chat
 Back in the chat, just ask. Trae picks the right tool and asks for confirmation before calling it.

## Paid tools? Add a key
 These **6 free tools** need no key: quote / K-line / hot list / market overview / breadth / docs search. Financials, fund flow, dragon-tiger list, sectors, factor screening and backtests need a key (trial from ¥9.9, all 86 tools). Put it in `headers`:
 headers
```
"headers": {
 "Authorization": "Bearer ct-YOUR-KEY"
}
```
 ⚠️ The name must be `Authorization` and the value must start with `Bearer` (**one space after Bearer**).

## What to ask once it works

-
 What is the price of 600667 right now?

-
 Pull the last 60 daily candles for 600667

-
 How is the market doing today?

-
 What is the fund flow for 太极实业 (600667) today?

-
 Find stocks with PE below 20 and ROE above 15

-
 What did institutions buy on the dragon-tiger list today?

## FAQ
 Which transports does Trae support?
 Three: **stdio**, **SSE** and **Streamable HTTP**. We use Streamable HTTP — a remote service, nothing to install locally.

 Do I need NPX or UVX first?
 **No.** NPX / UVX are for stdio-based local servers (that is what the "prefer NPX or UVX" hint refers to). Our server is remote — a URL is all you need.

 No tools show up after adding it?
 ① Make sure the URL ends with `/mcp` ② wait a few seconds or refresh the MCP panel ③ the tool list is synced at save time, so re-save the config after we add new tools.

 The assistant says it cannot find data.
 ① When the anonymous daily quota runs out you get a Chinese message 「匿名每日额度已用完（100000 条/天）」 — add a key to lift it ② stock codes need a market prefix (sh600667 / sz000001 / hk00700) ③ for paid tools check the space in `Bearer` inside `headers`.
