Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
PineScript MCP ProjectCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install dependencies with npm install, then start one of the UI options: npm run ui for Next.js, npm run ui:express for Express, or npm run ui:electron for the desktop app. Access the web interface at http://localhost:3001. For Claude Desktop integration, run npx pinescript-mcp-server (macOS) or add it via the Claude CLI. Detailed setup is in the documentation.
pine_search
Full-text search across all Pine Script v6 documentation. Use this for general queries about concepts, patterns, or topics when you don't know the exact function name. Returns ranked results from both the reference manual and user guide. Prefer pine_reference for known function/variable names, and pine_guide for conceptual topics like 'execution model' or 'strategies'.
pine_reference
Look up a specific Pine Script v6 function, variable, or type by exact name. Returns the full signature, parameters, description, and code examples. This should be your FIRST choice when you know the function name (e.g., 'ta.sma', 'strategy.entry', 'close', 'request.security'). Supports short names like 'sma' which auto-resolve to 'ta.sma'. Use the format parameter to get just the signature or just examples.
pine_guide
Retrieve conceptual guide topics from the Pine Script user guide. Use for learning how something works — execution model, strategies, plotting, timeframes, etc. NOT for function lookups (use pine_reference instead). Set listTopics=true to discover all available topics before searching.
pine_examples
Search for Pine Script code examples by keyword. Extracts and deduplicates code blocks from documentation. Use when you need executable code patterns rather than documentation text. For the official example of a specific function, prefer pine_reference with format='examples'.
pine_categories
Discover what's available in Pine Script by browsing categories. Call without arguments to list all categories (ta, strategy, request, math, etc.) and their entry counts. Provide a category name to see all functions/variables in that category with descriptions. Great for exploration when you're not sure what functions exist.
