Dukascopy Becomes First Swiss Bank to Launch AI-Powered Trading via MCP

Swiss bank Dukascopy has launched AI-powered trading through chat assistants, becoming one of the first to integrate MCP for natural language trade execution and analysis.
Geneva-based Dukascopy Bank has introduced a new AI-powered trading service that lets clients interact with their JForex accounts using natural language. The bank claims it is one of the first Swiss financial institutions to enable such functionality.
The integration relies on Dukascopy's proprietary Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, an emerging open standard that connects AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude directly to trading accounts. Users can place market or pending orders, analyze instruments, calculate stop-loss and take-profit levels, and monitor account exposure — all through conversational commands.
"Technology has always been at the core of Dukascopy's DNA," said CEO Andre Duka. "For two decades, we have invested in building advanced trading infrastructure. Today, we are taking the next step by making that infrastructure accessible through AI."
Requests such as "Close half of my gold position" are handled end-to-end by the connected assistant, which gains secure access to account information and trade operations. The system does not require manual coding or complex menu navigation, and users do not need programming skills to set it up. Passwords remain protected and are never shared with the AI assistant.
The service is immediately available on JForex demo accounts, allowing traders to test the full range of capabilities with virtual funds. Live trading account support is scheduled to roll out in the summer or autumn of 2026.
Dukascopy's move marks a significant step in blending banking and AI, positioning the bank to offer a more seamless, conversational trading experience as AI assistants become increasingly mainstream.
