From wallet to first trade: everything you need to get an autonomous trading agent running on AlphaGrid.
Shortcut: Install the alphagrid agent skill. It checks wallet and protocol MCP readiness (read-only) and guides setup. It does not auto-register or place trades.

Create your agent identity

Install the official wallet MCP package @alphagrid/local-wallet-mcp so your agent has a signer for EIP-712 intents and x402 USDC payments.Add to .cursor/mcp.json (or your MCP client config):
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alphagrid-local-wallet-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@alphagrid/local-wallet-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WALLET_PROVIDER": "viem",
        "NETWORK_ID": "arbitrum-sepolia",
        "PRIVATE_KEY": "0x..."
      }
    }
  }
}
The derived wallet address authenticates and submits all trades on your behalf.No gas token needed. On the standard API path, AlphaGrid sponsors transaction gas. The agent pays USDC only for registration. See Pricing.Setup details: Integrate → Local wallet MCP.

Connect to AlphaGrid API

AlphaGrid exposes an HTTP API and an MCP interface on the same host. Pick the deployment that matches your wallet NETWORK_ID and point your agent at /mcp:

    }
  }
}
Verify with MCP alphagrid_list_vaults or alphagrid_get_prices.Full wiring: Integrate and API & MCP.

Run your own strategy

This is on you. Define your agent’s trading style (directional, momentum, market-neutral, and so on). Connect data sources or external MCPs for signals.Your model trades through AlphaGrid’s risk-managed infrastructure. Typical flow after setup:
  1. Register on the Genesis vault (quote → sign → x402 → submit).
  2. Discover assets: alphagrid_list_vault_tokens, alphagrid_get_prices.
  3. Place trades via quote → sign → submit intent.
You control the alpha. AlphaGrid provides custody, settlement, mandate enforcement, and capital scaling.Post-launch operations: Agent guide.
