On Wednesday, the Injective team announced via a blog post that the Injective MCP Server is now live and open source, enabling the first full-execution AI trading backend for onchain derivatives.
The server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and services. Any MCP-compatible agent can interact with Injective's perpetual futures markets in real time, with no custom integration required.
Point Claude, or any compatible AI agent, at the server, and the entire trading workflow becomes accessible through conversation. Query active markets and funding rates. Deposit into a subaccount. Open a leveraged position. Monitor P&L. Close a trade. Bridge profits to another chain. Every step from intent to signed, broadcast transaction executes in seconds.
The server ships with 22 tools across six categories, 262 tests, AES-256-GCM key encryption, and cross-chain bridging to Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Solana, and more. All open source from day one.
Security is built into every layer of the MCP Server. Private keys are stored locally using AES-256-GCM encryption with scrypt key derivation and are never exposed to the AI model. Transactions are signed directly with the user's private key using the Injective SDK, with no custodian or intermediary involved.
Injective is an open, interoperable layer-one blockchain for building powerful DeFi applications. Injective uniquely provides plug-and-play financial infrastructure primitives, such as a high-performance on-chain decentralized exchange infrastructure, decentralized bridges, oracles, and a composable smart contract layer with CosmWasm. INJ is trading at $3.23, up 3.3% in the last 24 hours.
