Question 1

What authentication is required?

Accepted Answer

You need a Zerodha developer account, an API key and secret from a created app, and a one-time browser login. The access token is stored locally for future sessions.

Question 2

How are credentials stored?

Accepted Answer

API credentials are stored only in a local `.env` file. Access tokens are saved in a `.tokens` file. No credentials are transmitted to Claude or any third parties.

Question 3

What is the session duration?

Accepted Answer

The session remains active until the token expires, typically after 24 hours. When expired, Claude automatically reinitiates the login flow.

Question 4

What credentials does it need?

Accepted Answer

It reads `KITE_API_KEY`, `KITE_API_SECRET` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
