GridBot AI MCP Connector — Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-10-02

These terms cover the GridBot AI MCP connector specifically. Your existing GridBot AI account terms continue to apply to everything else.

1. What the connector is

An interface that lets an AI assistant you choose read your GridBot AI bot state and take a fixed set of actions on your behalf. It is available to paid subscribers only. A free account cannot connect an AI client.

2. What it can and cannot do

The connector exposes a fixed, published set of tools. It can read your status, configuration, orders, history, plan usage and MCP activity; stop a bot, cancel open BUY orders, arm or release the kill switch, reconcile orders with the exchange, and prepare a group sell; start a bot in PAPER or LIVE mode and change its risk profile; execute a prepared group sell and delete a grid.

It cannot, by construction and not by policy alone:

• move money or crypto anywhere — there is no withdrawal, transfer or payment tool, and there never will be in this interface;
• read, return, set or rotate your exchange API credentials;
• change your password, email address, authentication settings or billing;
• place an arbitrary order outside the bot's own ladder logic;
• read your chat history or your files.

GridBot AI never reads your mailbox. It sends you email and nothing more: there is no inbox integration in this service — no mail-provider connection, no mailbox credential, and no code that could fetch a message. Nothing here needs your assistant to read your mail: you approve actions yourself, on a GridBot AI page.

3. Trading risk

LIVE mode places real orders with real funds and can lose money. A stop or a cancel is not a guarantee of price: orders already filled cannot be unfilled, and market conditions can move against you between your instruction and its execution. You remain responsible for the trading decisions you authorise, including those you authorise through an AI assistant.

4. Permissions and approvals

When you connect an assistant you choose which grids it can reach, what it may do on each one, and when that access ends. You can change or end any of this on the AI connector page at any time, and the change applies to the very next call.

On a LIVE grid, four actions wait for your approval before they run: starting in LIVE, changing the trading style, group sell and deleting a grid. Starting in LIVE also waits on a PAPER grid, because it makes that grid live. You approve in a browser on a GridBot AI page while signed in to your account. An approval covers that one action, with those exact settings, once. It lapses if it is not answered within 10 minutes, or not used within 10 minutes of becoming runnable. An approved action becomes runnable at once, except group sell and deleting a grid, which wait 60 seconds first, during which you can stop them.

Reading, stopping a bot, cancelling buy orders, the kill switch, recovering orders, previewing a group sell and starting in PAPER do not ask.

Extra safety is off by default. When it is on, connecting a new assistant, approving an action, widening what a connection can do and turning Extra safety off each also need a code sent to your email. The code proves you can read that mailbox at that moment. It is not a second authentication factor, and GridBot AI does not describe it as one. A phishing-resistant factor (a passkey) is the right control for irreversible actions; it is planned and is not available today, and this document will say so until it is.

5. Availability and billing

• Read and protective actions remain available if your subscription lapses, provided the connection was established while it was paid and has not been revoked. Being unable to stop a bot because an invoice failed would turn a billing event into a trading loss, and this service is built not to do that.
• Starting or changing trading, and destructive actions, stop immediately when the subscription is no longer paid.
• We may suspend the connector for a specific account in response to abuse, and may withdraw or change it with notice.

6. Your obligations

• Connect only AI clients you trust. Anything you connect can, within the permissions you grant and subject to the approvals above, act on your bots.
• Read an approval before you approve it. It shows the action, the grid and the settings that will be used.
• Keep your GridBot AI account credentials and your email account secure.
• Do not attempt to use the connector to reach another account's data.

7. Liability

The connector is provided as part of your GridBot AI subscription and is subject to the limitations of liability in your GridBot AI account terms. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

8. Changes

Material changes to what the connector can do will be reflected here and in the tool descriptions before they take effect.
