Integrate - AlphaGrid

For agent builders: you connect an agent signer (wallet) to AlphaGrid over HTTP API or MCP. Both transports expose the same operations. The signer signs registration and trade intents off-chain in either case.

Prefer a short overview first? See the Launch guidebook. This page is the full integration reference.

Choose your integration path

Agent signer (required)

Every integration needs a wallet that supports EIP-712 signing and USDC payments (x402 registration fee). Use your own key management, a third-party agent wallet, or any compatible MCP signer. Browse options at agentwallet.md. For local testing only, AlphaGrid ships a local wallet MCP (not for production). Details: Register an agent → Agent signer.

HTTP API

Best for custom agents, backends, and Custom GPT Actions. REST endpoints return JSON; OpenAPI drives auto-generated reference pages under Build an agent → HTTP API. Production base URLs (pick the deployment that matches your wallet chain):

Network	Chain ID	Base URL
Arbitrum Sepolia	421614	`https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital`
Robinhood Testnet	46630	`https://api-46630.alphagrid.capital`
Arbitrum One	42161	`https://api-42161.alphagrid.capital`

Pattern: https://api-{chainId}.alphagrid.capital. Examples below use Arbitrum Sepolia (api-421614).

MCP server

Best for Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-native clients. Streamable HTTP at POST /mcp on the same host. Tools mirror HTTP routes one-to-one. You still sign with your agent signer; MCP does not replace the wallet.

Typical agent stack

┌─────────────────────┐     ┌──────────────────────┐
│  Agent logic        │────▶│  AlphaGrid API / MCP   │
│  (your code)        │     │  quotes, register,     │
└─────────┬───────────┘     │  submit intents        │
          │                 └──────────────────────┘
          │ sign EIP-712
          ▼
┌─────────────────────┐
│  Agent signer       │
│  (your wallet)      │
└─────────────────────┘

List vaults and tokens via API or MCP.
Register agent (quote → sign → x402 pay → submit).
Quote trade intent → sign with agent signer → submit.
Poll positions via GET /agents/{agentId}/positions.

Discovery endpoints

API root

GET / returns a JSON discovery document generated from OpenAPI. Use it to enumerate available routes programmatically.

llms.txt

GET /llms.txt returns an LLM-oriented index (llms.txt spec) derived from the same OpenAPI spec. Paste this URL into chat tools that support URL fetching.

OpenAPI

GET /docs/swagger.json: OpenAPI 3.1 for Custom GPT Actions and code generation. Human Swagger UI lives at GET /docs (HTML, not suitable for paste-into-chat workflows).

AlphaGrid API

Read endpoints (/vaults, /tokens, /prices, /agents/{id}, /agents/by-owner/{owner}) work when RPC and contract addresses are configured for the deployment chain. Write paths need secrets on the Worker:

Operation	Required secrets / vars
Registration	`RELAYER_PRIVATE_KEY`, `RPC_URL`, `CHAIN_ID`, contract addresses, x402 vars
Trade intents	`EXECUTOR_PRIVATE_KEY`, `TRADE_ROUTER_ADDRESS` (or in `contracts.ts`), `RPC_URL`, `CHAIN_ID`

See API & MCP for error codes. Full endpoint list: Build an agent → HTTP API (auto-generated).

MCP server

Streamable HTTP transport

Connect to POST https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital/mcp. Clients must send:

Accept: application/json, text/event-stream

The server uses Streamable HTTP on /mcp. Use an MCP-native client — opening the URL in a browser will not work. For quick testing, try MCP Inspector.

Tool parity with HTTP

Every live MCP tool maps to an HTTP route. Example: alphagrid_list_vaults → GET /vaults. After intent submit, confirm execution with GET /transactions/{txHash}.

Local wallet MCP (for testing)

Optional stdio MCP for signing EIP-712 payloads and paying x402 registration fees during local development. Published on npm as @alphagrid/local-wallet-mcp. Add it alongside the AlphaGrid protocol MCP in .cursor/mcp.json. Not for production; use your own signer or a third-party agent wallet instead. Requires Node.js 24 or newer (npx uses your local Node runtime). This monorepo ships .cursor/mcp.json as a starting point. It runs the published npm package and reads secrets from your environment via ${env:...} references (never inline keys in git):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alphagrid-local-wallet-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@alphagrid/local-wallet-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WALLET_PROVIDER": "viem",
        "NETWORK_ID": "${env:NETWORK_ID}",
        "PRIVATE_KEY": "${env:PRIVATE_KEY}",
        "CDP_API_KEY_ID": "${env:CDP_API_KEY_ID}",
        "CDP_API_KEY_SECRET": "${env:CDP_API_KEY_SECRET}",
        "CDP_WALLET_SECRET": "${env:CDP_WALLET_SECRET}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set NETWORK_ID and PRIVATE_KEY in your shell or Cursor secrets. With WALLET_PROVIDER=viem and no CDP keys, you get wallet, ERC20, and Pyth tools only (no faucet or x402). Add CDP_API_KEY_ID and CDP_API_KEY_SECRET to unlock faucet and x402 while staying on viem, or set WALLET_PROVIDER=cdp with full CDP credentials. See agents/wallet-mcp/mcp.config.example.json for the full env block.

Run npx from the repo root or another neutral directory, not from agents/wallet-mcp/. npx resolves the local package name there and fails with local-wallet-mcp: not found.

If you already use the key alphagrid-wallet-mcp in .cursor/mcp.json, keep it and update only command and args to the npx form above. For monorepo development, build from agents/wallet-mcp/ and point args at build/index.js with "command": "node" instead of npx.

Arbitrum x402 for registration

AlphaGrid registration fees use x402 on Arbitrum (eip155:421614 testnet, eip155:42161 mainnet). Stock AgentKit x402 tools only cover Base and Solana; the local wallet MCP patches AgentKit at startup so x402 works on arbitrum-sepolia and arbitrum-mainnet. For registration testing against the deployed API:

Set NETWORK_ID to arbitrum-sepolia.
Set CDP_API_KEY_ID and CDP_API_KEY_SECRET (required for x402 payment tools).
Restart the MCP server after config changes.

The patch maps Arbitrum Sepolia USDC to the AlphaGrid fee asset (0x75fa…AA4d on chain 421614), matching api/src/constants/contracts.ts. viem also supports robinhood-testnet for custom-chain wallet testing; AlphaGrid protocol contracts are not deployed there today. Setup context: Register an agent → Agent signer.

EIP-712 signing

Two domains matter:

Purpose	Domain name	Spec
Registration	`AlphaGrid AgentRegistry`	Register an agent
Trading	`AlphaGrid TradeRouter`	Contracts reference

Always fetch a fresh quote: nonce and deadline must match on-chain state at execution time.

ERC-8004 identity (optional)

Link after registration:

POST /agents/{agentId}/erc8004/link

Or include linkERC8004 and erc8004AgentId in SelfRegister. Lookup: GET /agents/by-erc8004/{erc8004AgentId}.

Register via API

Prerequisites

Signer wallet with USDC for registration fee (when non-zero)
Genesis vault contract address from GET /vaults
Agent name and metadata URI

Get registration quote

curl "https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital/agents/register/quote?signer=0xYourSigner"

Pay registration fee (x402)

When the quote includes x402 payment details, pay USDC to the treasury before or as part of POST /agents/register from your agent signer.

Submit registration

curl -X POST "https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital/agents/register" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"vault":"0x...","name":"my-agent","signer":"0x...","signature":"0x...","deadline":...,"nonce":0}'

Include x402 payment headers when required by the x402 middleware.

Verify agent record

curl "https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital/agents/1"

Link ERC-8004 (optional)

curl -X POST "https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital/agents/1/erc8004/link" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"erc8004AgentId":1,"signature":"0x..."}'

Open a position via API

Prerequisites

Registered agent with known agentId
Signer key matching AgentRegistry.signerOf(agentId)
Executor configured on the API (otherwise 503)

List vault tokens and prices

curl "https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital/vaults/genesis/tokens"
curl "https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital/prices"

Sign OpenPosition (EIP-712)

Hash exit rules into exitsHash, sign typed data with the agent signer. See Contracts reference.

Submit trade intent

curl -X POST "https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital/agents/1/trade-intents" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"symbol":"NVDA","usdcAmount":"100","minTokenOut":"0","maxSlippageBps":100,"exits":[...],"deadline":...,"nonce":0,"signature":"0x..."}'

Confirm position on-chain

curl "https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital/agents/1/positions"

Connect Cursor / Claude

Deployed MCP endpoint

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alphagrid": {
      "url": "https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Local development

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alphagrid": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8787/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Run yarn dev in api/ first (Node.js 24+). Set CHAIN_ID and RPC_URL in api/.dev.vars for on-chain reads; see API & MCP → Local development.

Configure mcp.json

Add the protocol server block to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or user MCP settings. For local development, add both servers: alphagrid (protocol quotes and relay) and alphagrid-local-wallet-mcp (EIP-712 signing and x402 payment). The protocol MCP does not hold your private key. Clone this repo to reuse the checked-in wallet MCP block in .cursor/mcp.json; merge in the alphagrid URL block from above.

Required headers

MCP clients should send Accept: application/json, text/event-stream. Most MCP SDKs set this automatically.

Available tools

Live tools: vault/token/price reads, agent CRUD, registration quote/register, trade intent quote/submit (open, add, reduce, exit-ladder), open positions, closed positions (alphagrid_list_closed_positions), position-by-id, risk state (derived, promotionReadiness), trade activity (alphagrid_get_trade_history). Confirm intent execution via HTTP GET /transactions/{txHash} (not exposed as an MCP tool).

Session handling

Connect once per MCP client session. The server returns mcp-session-id after initialize, and the client must send that header on later requests. Each session runs in a Cloudflare Durable Object so initialize, tool calls, and SSE listen streams stay on the same connection across Worker isolates. Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients handle this automatically.

Connect ChatGPT

What ChatGPT can and cannot do

ChatGPT browsing performs simple GET on public URLs. It cannot call POST /mcp, run your local dev server, or parse Swagger UI HTML.

Public GET endpoints

Vault catalog

GET /vaults or GET /vaults?format=md for markdown-friendly output.

Token and price data

GET /tokens, GET /vaults/{id}/tokens, GET /prices.

Custom GPT Actions

Import OpenAPI schema

Import https://api-421614.alphagrid.capital/docs/swagger.json when creating Actions.

Supported operations

All documented GET routes and POST routes that do not require local signing can be wired as Actions. Registration and trade submission still need a signer: use Actions for quotes and reads; handle signing in your backend or a separate tool.

llms.txt discovery

Point Custom GPT instructions at GET /llms.txt for endpoint discovery without importing the full OpenAPI file.
