What it does

Keel-Trade is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants and developers to build, backtest, and automate trading strategies on Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual futures exchange. It provides typed strategy composition for creating sophisticated trading logic, deterministic backtesting capabilities using real historical Hyperliquid data, and optional live execution with backtesting-to-live parity to ensure strategy consistency.

How to set up

As an MCP server, installation involves: 1) Clone or access the keeltrade/keeltrade repository from GitHub, 2) Install Python dependencies using pip, 3) Configure your Hyperliquid API credentials and exchange connection settings, 4) Run the MCP server, 5) Connect it to your AI assistant or trading application via the MCP protocol. Cross-platform support is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
