Keel Documentation

Keel is a quantitative trading platform for Hyperliquid. Drive strategy development from your terminal or your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, …). Strategies live in your filesystem; your agent reads and edits them; backtests run against Keel's cached price + funding data; live deploys execute on Hyperliquid non-custodially.

See it working: Verified Keel backtest of a funding-carry strategy — Sharpe 2.17, +79.6% return, -9.7% max drawdown, 2024-08-15 → 2026-04-30 on Hyperliquid perps.

Install

pipx install keel-trade                            # or: uv tool install keel-trade
claude mcp add keel -- keel mcp serve              # register stdio command with Claude Code

Then open Claude Code and say "Connect to Keel." — the agent calls keel_auth_login, browser opens, you sign in, and you're done. After that your agent has the full Keel outcome-tool surface with your auth context. The full first-backtest flow is in Getting Started.
