The server requires no key in Claude, ChatGPT, Dots or Grok, while Claude Code, Codex, Hermes and OpenClaw use a key prefixed wk_ stored in a setting named WARDEN_TOKEN. Trades stay inside Warden's custody and are checked twice before signing, with a daily budget, a per-trade cap during hands-free sessions and the ability to stop a session or revoke all keys at any time.", "body_md": "# Your AI agent trading onchain\n\nConnect **Claude, ChatGPT, Grok** and other AI apps to Warden. Ask about tokens. Set up a swap and sign it yourself. Or let your agent trade for a while, inside limits you choose.\n\nTrading crypto is risky. Only trade what you can afford to lose. This is not financial advice.\n\n## Trade on four chains.\n\nAdd Warden to your app.\n\nNo key. Nothing to install.\n\nServer address\n\n`https://tokens.wardenprotocol.org/mcp`\n1. Open **Customize, Connectors** and click**Add custom connector** .\n2. Name it Warden and paste the server address.\n3. Click **Add** , then**Connect** . Sign in on the Warden page and press**Allow** .\n4. In a chat, open the **+** menu,**Connectors** and switch Warden on.\n\nThen ask: What's trending on Base right now?\n\n## Sample prompts\n\n**Agent permissions**\n\n**Trending tokens**\n\n**Execute swap**\n\nHands-free only when you turn it on. Every trade stays inside your limits.\n\n## See it in action.\n\nFind a token that's moving, narrow it down, buy it, and set when to get out. Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Hermes and OpenClaw.\n\n## Talk to your agent in your own words.\n\nAfter you add Warden, copy a prompt into your agent.\n\nWhat's trending on Base right now?\n\nSearch for WARD and show its price on each chain.\n\nWhat would 10 USDC buy of WARD on Base? Don't trade.\n\nWhich wallet am I using, and what can you do today?\n\nChatGPT asks you to sign in while connecting.\n\n## You choose how much it does.\n\n### Ask.\n\nAsk what's trending, what a token costs, or what a swap would return.\n\n### Sign each trade.\n\nYour agent prepares the swap. You approve it in Warden before it goes through.\n\n### Go hands-free.\n\nPick how long it runs. Your agent can trade on its own until that ends, inside the limits you set.\n\nA strategy needs an app that keeps running, such as Hermes, OpenClaw or a Dot.\n\n## Your limits stay with Warden.\n\n- **Trades stay inside Warden.** Your agent can't send funds to an address it picks.\n- **Checked twice before it is signed.** Warden checks the trade, then it is checked again before anything is signed.\n- **Your limits live with Warden.** A daily budget, a cap on each trade it makes while you are away, and a session that ends on its own.\n- **Stop it at any time.** Stop hands-free trading ends the session at once. Revoke all keys signs the agent out.\n- **What you type is not an order by itself.** Token names and chat text are information, not instructions to trade.\n- **If Warden can't price a trade, it stops.** You get it back to decide. It does not guess.\n\n## Frequently asked questions.\n\n## Do I need a key?\n\nNot in Claude, ChatGPT, Dots or Grok. You sign in with Warden. Claude Code, Codex, Hermes and OpenClaw use a key that starts with wk_. It stays in a setting named WARDEN_TOKEN.\n\n## Do I need an account?\n\nNot to look up tokens, prices or a swap quote. To trade, sign in, or use a key from Portfolio, Agent access.\n\n## Which AI apps work?\n\nClaude, ChatGPT, Dots, Grok, Claude Code, Codex, Hermes and OpenClaw have steps above. Any MCP client can use the server at tokens.wardenprotocol.org/mcp.\n\n## Which wallet does it use?\n\nThe wallet on the Warden account you sign in with, or the wallet your key belongs to. Hands-free trading uses that wallet during a session you start.\n\n## Can the agent trade without my approval?\n\nOnly after you start a hands-free session in Portfolio, Agent access. Otherwise it sets the trade up and you sign it in Warden.\n\n## What stops it from overspending?\n\nA daily budget, and a cap on each trade it makes while you are away. Both are checked by Warden. The session ends on its own. You can stop it, or sign the agent out, at any time.\n\n## What can the AI app do with my wallet?\n\nIt can look, prepare a swap for you to sign, or trade during a hands-free session. It can't send funds to an address it picks. Warden checks the trade, then it is checked again before it is signed.\n\n## Which chains are supported?\n\nBase, BNB Chain, Robinhood Chain and Arc.\n\n## What does it cost?\n\nEach trade on Warden Token Terminal has a 0.50% fee. The price can move a little. The default room for that is 1%.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-warden-mcp-an-mcp-server-for-agents-to-quote-and-trade-onchain", "canonical_source": "https://wardenprotocol.org/mcp", "published_at": "2026-11-09 16:15:50+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-11-09 16:23:10.643749+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "agent-protocols", "ai-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Warden Protocol", "Warden MCP", "Claude", "ChatGPT", "Grok", "Claude Code", "Codex", "OpenClaw"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-warden-mcp-an-mcp-server-for-agents-to-quote-and-trade-onchain", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-warden-mcp-an-mcp-server-for-agents-to-quote-and-trade-onchain.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-warden-mcp-an-mcp-server-for-agents-to-quote-and-trade-onchain.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-warden-mcp-an-mcp-server-for-agents-to-quote-and-trade-onchain.jsonld"}}
