TradingViewMCPServer v3.1 - Improvements Summary

Overview

Version 3.1 is a major update that adds full Pine Script v6 support, fixes critical version detection issues, and improves the overall architecture and documentation.

🎯 Major Features

1. Pine Script v6 Support ⭐

What's New:

  • Full support for Pine Script v6 (latest version from TradingView)
  • Support for v6-exclusive features:
    • type keyword for custom data structures (structs)
    • enum keyword for enumeration types
    • map namespace with full key-value collection support

New Functions (10+):

  • map.new<K, V>() - Create maps
  • map.put(map, key, value) - Add/update entries
  • map.get(map, key) - Retrieve values
  • map.contains(map, key) - Check key existence
  • map.remove(map, key) - Remove entries
  • map.keys(map) - Get all keys
  • map.values(map) - Get all values
  • map.size(map) - Get entry count
  • map.clear(map) - Clear map
  • type - Define custom types
  • enum - Define enumerations

Enhanced Data Types:

  • Added MAP, ENUM, STRUCT data types to type system
  • Updated function signature database to 110+ functions
  • Full parameter validation for v6 functions

🐛 Critical Fixes

1. Version Detection Issue (FIXED)

Problem:

  • Documentation claimed v6 support but code still marked v5 as latest
  • Default version detection returned v5 instead of v6
  • Conversion system didn't support v5→v6 migration

Solution:

  • Updated default version detection to return v6
  • Implemented _convert_to_v6() method in VersionConverter
  • Updated all docstrings and documentation to reflect v6 as latest
  • Fixed version detection confidence scoring for v6 features

Files Changed:

  • tradingview_mcp/pine_script/versions.py (lines 5, 40-42, 198, 242-280, 383-400)
  • tradingview_mcp/pine_script/signatures.py (added v6 functions)
  • tradingview_mcp/server.py (updated tool descriptions)

2. Documentation Inconsistencies (FIXED)

Problem:

  • Some docs said v1-v5, others said v1-v6
  • Server instructions mentioned v1-v5 only
  • No examples of v6 features

Solution:

  • Unified all documentation to clearly state v6 as latest
  • Added comprehensive v6 feature examples
  • Updated all MCP tool descriptions
  • Added v6 migration guides

Files Updated:

  • README.md
  • PINE_SCRIPT.md
  • tradingview_mcp/server.py

🏗️ Architecture Improvements

1. Clear Module Separation

Current Structure:

tradingview_mcp/

├── indicators/               # TradingView Analysis
├── utils/                    # TradingView Analysis
└── pine_script/              # Pine Script Tools (separate concern)

Benefits:

  • Clear separation of concerns
  • TradingView analysis logic isolated from Pine Script tools
  • Easier to maintain and extend
  • Better test organization

  • Expanded from 50+ to 110+ functions
  • Complete v6 namespace coverage
  • Enhanced parameter validation

🔄 Version Conversion Updates

1. v5 → v6 Conversion Support

New Converter:

def _convert_to_v6(code: str) -> Tuple[str, List[str], List[str]]:
    """Convert code to Pine Script v6"""

Features:

  • Backward compatibility checking
  • Informational warnings about v6 features
  • Suggestions for using new v6 capabilities

2. Version Detection Improvements

Enhanced Detection:

  • Detects v6-specific keywords: struct, enum
  • Recognizes map.* namespace usage
  • Higher confidence scoring for v6 features
  • Better suggestions for upgrading to v6

🎓 Migration Guide

For Users

No changes required! Your existing setup continues to work.

To use v6 features:

  1. Start your Pine Script with //@version=6
  2. Use new v6 features: type, enum, map
  3. Ask Claude to validate your v6 code

Example:

//@version=6
indicator("My V6 Indicator")

// Use v6 map feature
var myMap = map.new<string, float>()
map.put(myMap, "price", close)

// Use v6 type feature
type TradeSetup
    float entry
    float stop

For Contributors

If updating Pine Script code:

  1. Check ARCHITECTURE.md for structure
  2. Add v6 functions to signatures.py if needed
  3. Update tests to cover v6 features
  4. Follow existing code patterns

If adding new features:

  1. Determine if it's TradingView analysis or Pine Script tool
  2. Place code in appropriate module
  3. Update documentation
  4. Add tests

🐛 Known Limitations

1. Full v6 Feature Validation

Current State:

  • Basic v6 keyword detection works
  • Function signature validation works
  • Map namespace fully supported

Missing:

  • Deep validation of custom type definitions
  • Enum value validation
  • Complex struct member validation

Workaround:

  • Use TradingView's online editor for complex v6 validation
  • Basic syntax validation still works

2. V6-Specific Error Messages

Current State:

  • General error explanations work
  • Type errors detected

Missing:

  • v6-specific error codes
  • Custom type error explanations

Planned:

  • Will add in v3.2 based on user feedback

3. Historical Data for Crypto/Stocks

Existing Limitation:

  • Historical data only works for Forex
  • Crypto/Stocks only have real-time quotes

Not addressed in v3.1:

  • This is an Alpha Vantage API limitation
  • Will require additional API integrations

🔮 Future Roadmap

v3.2 (Next Minor Release)

  • Add v6-specific tests
  • Enhanced v6 error messages
  • Custom type validation improvements
  • Performance optimizations

v4.0 (Next Major Release)

  • Full modular architecture refactor
  • Separate tradingview_analysis module
  • Separate pine_script_tools module
