trading api for agents

The exchange that's just an API.

Email in, API key out — your agent trades real Hyperliquid order books two minutes from now.

or paste this into your agent’s chat:

Add https://tradingapi.dev/mcp as an MCP server and walk me through connecting.

Let your agent trade. Safely.

Set up your MCP with the limits you want. Choose allowed markets and max trade size. Your agent can never withdraw or send money on your behalf.

Buy $40 of BTC.

trade BTC · $40 → filled @ 67,412.5

Buy $500 of NVDA.

trade NVDA · $500 → rejected

I can only trade BTC and SPCX, up to $50.

Withdraw it all.

I can't withdraw for you — go to tradingapi.dev.

Stay on script.

MCP is one way in. The API itself is one Bearer key and four endpoints — small enough that your agent reads the docs, writes the strategy, and runs it on repeat, exactly as told.

This is pretend — get an API key in 60 seconds to trade for real

POST /v1/orders

What you’re actually getting.

100+ markets: Every Hyperliquid perpetual, one GET /v1/markets away.
self-custodial: Deposits sit at your own address; withdrawals need your signature — never a key, never a grant.
limits you set: Per-key scopes, per-order and daily caps, reduce-only mode — enforced on the server, not the honor system.
secure by default: API keys shown once and hashed at rest; signing keys custodied and isolated per user.
access expires: Agent grants live 1–90 days and revoke in one click; a replayed token revokes everything.
a real venue: Hyperliquid order books underneath — deep liquidity, onchain settlement.
