Interactive Brokers — global stocks/forex/futures via a LOCAL TWS/IB Gateway, not cloud. Covers stocks, ETFs, forex, futures; account, positions, orders, quotes, history, order placement. Use when the user wants to check or trade an Interactive Brokers account (e.g. "IBKR positions", "buy 10 AAPL on IBKR paper", "my IB account net liq"). Requires a running TWS / IB Gateway — NOT a cloud key.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## What this is — read this first 🖥️ **Local-gateway broker.** IBKR has **no key-based public API**. You run **Trader Workstation (TWS)** or the lighter **IB Gateway** on a machine, log in, enable the API socket, and this CLI connects over a local socket. Your IBKR credentials live in TWS — they never reach this skill. **⚠️ This will NOT work from the Starchild container by default**, because TWS runs on *your* computer and the container's `127.0.0.1` is the container itself. Two ways to use it: 1. **Run locally** — run TWS/Gateway + this script on your own computer. (simplest) 2. **Bridge the network** — run IB Gateway on a host the container can reach, add the container's IP to TWS's "Trusted IPs", and set `IBKR_HOST`/`IBKR_PORT`. You handle network/security; never expose the API socket to the open internet. If `status` says the socket isn't listening, this is why. ## Set up TWS / IB Gateway (one time) 1. Download **TWS** or **IB Gateway** from [interactivebrokers.com](https://www.interactivebrokers.com) → Trading → Platforms. IB Gateway is lighter and headless-friendly; TWS is the full GUI. …

How to install
mdr add starchild-ai-agent/official-skills/ibkr@sha256:2b9978abed43b008The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
