cTrader C# syntax checker MCP for cBots and indicators

The Pineify cTrader C# syntax checker MCP checks one complete cBot or indicator source for C# compiler and cTrader API errors. It returns structured diagnostics without editing the source or running the trading code.

MCP tool name
ctrader-csharp-syntax-checker

Example prompt

Use Pineify to check this cTrader C# cBot and explain every diagnostic by row and column.

Direct answer

What ctrader-csharp-syntax-checker does

Send a non-empty code string containing the complete source for one cTrader C# cBot or indicator. The checker accepts up to 524,288 UTF-8 bytes in a single request.

The result separates code errors from timeout and system failures. Each reported code error includes a row, column, and message, so an MCP-compatible agent can point to the relevant location and explain the next revision.

Contract

What the agent sends and receives

Inputs

  • One non-empty code string.
  • Complete source for one cTrader C# cBot or indicator.
  • A maximum payload of 524,288 UTF-8 bytes.

Structured output

  • A hasError flag for the submitted source.
  • An errors list with row, column, and message for each diagnostic.
  • Separate isTimeout and isSystemError status flags.

Capabilities

Where this MCP tool fits

cTrader-specific error checking

Checks C# compiler and cTrader API errors in one cBot or indicator source.

Structured diagnostics

Returns each code error with its row, column, and diagnostic message.

Failure-state separation

Reports code errors separately from timeout and checker system failures.

Read-only requests

Checks the submitted source without changing it or placing orders.

Agent workflow

A bounded call from question to review

  1. 1

    Send one complete source

    Give the agent the full source for a single cBot or indicator and ask it to call the checker.

  2. 2

    Review the diagnostics

    Read each row, column, and message before deciding which source change is appropriate.

  3. 3

    Revise and check again

    Update the code in your editor, then submit the complete revised source for another read-only check.

Prompt examples

Questions an agent can route to this tool

"Use Pineify to check this cTrader C# cBot and explain every diagnostic by row and column."
"Check this cTrader indicator for C# compiler and cTrader API errors. Do not change the source."
"Run the cBot compiler checker MCP on this complete source, then separate code errors from timeout or system failures."

Operator notes

How I review the result

When I check a cBot, I send the complete source instead of an isolated method so the checker can evaluate the file as one unit.

I review the first reported row and column before later diagnostics because one early syntax error can affect the messages that follow.

I run the check again after each focused edit and keep execution, backtesting, and order testing in the appropriate cTrader environment.

Boundaries to keep in the prompt

  • The tool accepts one complete cBot or indicator source per request, not a general multi-project C# workspace.
  • It checks compiler and cTrader API errors. It does not execute code, backtest a strategy, connect to a broker, or place orders.
  • It is a cTrader-focused checker, not a general C# compiler for arbitrary applications and libraries.
  • A clean check does not prove trading logic, risk controls, or future performance. This is an information tool, not investment advice.

Pineify MCP is an information and code-validation tool, not investment advice. It does not promise returns, place trades, or modify a portfolio. Review timestamps, source fields, code diagnostics, and risk assumptions before acting.
