The Hyperliquid MCP server
Keel is an MCP server for Hyperliquid. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code or Cursor with one URL and your agent gets 29 tools: search the typed component library, compose a strategy, backtest it on real Hyperliquid history and read the result.

Two ways to tell, and either one settles it — a connection that is already live is not improved by signing in again.
In Claude Keel is listed where you added it (Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector) once the sign-in has finished.
Ask the agent keel_account_status answers with the Keel account the session is signed in as, which nothing but a live connection can return. If the agent says it has no Keel tools, the sign-in did not finish.
Use keel_account_status and tell me which Keel account this session is signed in as.Not yet verified against a Claude version. These steps follow Anthropic's own documentation, read on 2026-09-16.
Build, backtest, review.
Finds the pieces
It searches the 218 typed components — signals, regimes, universes, position sizing — and reads the exact schema before it composes anything.
Composes a strategy
It writes the strategy in the Keel DSL and validates the graph as it goes, so a wrong connection fails at compose time, not at backtest.
Backtests it on real history
Hyperliquid 15-minute bars and hourly carry, real fees and slippage. Sharpe, drawdown and exposure come back in the conversation; ask for a fork to compare a variant.
Hands you the result
The agent builds, tests and reads. When you want to run a strategy on your account, it hands it to the Keel app and you take it from there.
Questions about the Keel MCP server
What is the Keel MCP server?
An MCP server that connects any MCP-capable assistant to Keel's strategy engine. It runs at https://mcp.usekeel.io/mcp: add that URL to your client, sign in in the browser when asked, and the 29 tools, the DSL knowledge and the step-by-step skills arrive at connect time.
Do I need to install anything?
No. One URL in Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or Windsurf is the whole setup. The keel-trade package is the other way in — a local MCP server and a CLI for file-based work — and it is listed under Other ways to connect on the agents page.
Which clients work with it?
Claude on web, desktop and phone, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Windsurf, plus any client that accepts a remote MCP URL. The agents page has the steps for each, with what to expect at every step.
What does a backtest run on?
Hyperliquid price bars from 5 minutes up and hourly carry rates, the same series the Keel app uses, plus order-flow series (taker flow and CVD, whale prints, exact VWAP, TWAP share, dollar volume) built from 1-minute bars derived from every fill on the venue since March 2025. BTC, ETH and SOL price history starts in June 2024 with carry from late July 2024; HYPE starts 2024-12-05. Carry accrues hourly into the equity curve and is shown separately from the price return.
