Keel MCP server

Let your AI build and test crypto trading strategies on Hyperliquid, then show you the results.

Keel is a helper for building and testing trading strategies on Hyperliquid, a crypto trading platform. This MCP server connects your AI assistant to Keel, so you can describe a strategy in plain words and get back a full test report. It is handy for people who want to explore trading ideas without writing code by hand.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to Keel, which builds and tests Hyperliquid trading strategies. Once it is set up, your AI can look things up and run tests in Keel for you when you ask.

What this MCP server does

You describe the trading idea you want to explore in your own words. Your AI uses this helper to search Keel's library of ready-made strategy parts. It puts those parts together into a strategy and sends it to Keel's test engine, which runs it against real past Hyperliquid data. When the test finishes, you get a link to a report showing how the strategy would have done.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Build and test a crypto trading idea for me”, the Keel MCP server works in steps: find the pieces, then build the strategy, then test on past data, and you get back A report link with charts.
