tradingview-mcp runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 3 minutes and hit no errors on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
The tradingview-mcp-server Python package is installed in a .venv at /work/repo, all 286 unit tests pass, and the MCP server starts and responds to initialize, tools/list (37+ tools), and tools/call on stdio transport.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).

What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
- Install time
- 3 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 2 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 0 hit, 0 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- uv run pytest tests/unit -v exited 0 with 286 passed in 8.88s; MCP stdio server responded to initialize + tools/list + tools/call(futures_watchlist) returning correct JSON; uv run tradingview-mcp --help printed usage
- Model tokens used
- 79,653
- Exact commit tested

- Container image

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load

How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
- Installed in 3 minutes.
- Nothing broke on the way: zero errors between clone and running.
- Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
- Licensed MIT, as reported by its host.
- Measured 3 times, so the result is not a one-off.
What it is a reasonable choice for
- Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
- A quick evaluation: it was running 3 minutes after the clone.
- Following its own README: the documented path worked with nothing to fix.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/tradingview-mcp)Questions
- Does tradingview-mcp run?
- Yes. tradingview-mcp runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 3 minutes, hitting 0 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test tradingview-mcp?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit a1e54b07e5c2. 3 attempts are recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test tradingview-mcp?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.01: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does tradingview-mcp take to install?
- 3 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does tradingview-mcp need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing tradingview-mcp?
- Nothing did, in the recorded run: zero errors between clone and running.
- Where is the evidence for tradingview-mcp?
- All 3 recorded runs are on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
