Can AiyoPerps run only as a local MCP or API server?

Yes. AiyoPerps supports a headless mode that starts the local REST API and MCP endpoint without requiring the desktop UI.

Which exchanges are supported?

The current project documentation lists BitMEX, Hyperliquid, Aster, Grvt, and dYdX.

Is this only for AI-first traders?

No. The product is designed for manual traders, AI-assisted workflows, and autonomous agent-driven operation.

Official launch site

A desktop perps terminal built for the AI era

AiyoPerps gives crypto perps teams three working modes in one product: manual execution, AI-assisted operation, and autonomous agent workflows powered by MCP and a local API surface.

Core capability

To meet the needs of every user

Full desktop workspace

A tab-based workflow with charting, order book, order entry, and account views for traders who still want speed and control.

Local MCP server

Connect Codex, Claude, Gemini, and other compatible agents so AI can inspect context, collaborate on execution, or operate under guardrails.

REST API + OpenAPI UI

Use the local HTTP API for scripts, tooling, internal dashboards, and custom automation without forcing everything through chat.

Headless runtime

Run AiyoPerps without the GUI when you only need the local service layer, ideal for automation boxes and API-driven setups.

Multi-venue coverage

The current documentation lists BitMEX, Hyperliquid, Aster, Grvt, and dYdX, covering practical CEX and DEX perps scenarios.

Scheduled AI wake-up

Recent updates add time-based AI agent wake-up, making recurring checks and semi-automated trading workflows realistic.

Workflow

From install to agent connection in a few minutes

1. Install the app

Download the latest release from GitHub, then run `AiyoPerps.exe` on Windows or the Linux executable on supported environments.

2. Enable the local API

Set the HTTP API port in the toolbar and switch it on. That exposes both the OpenAPI UI and the MCP endpoint.

3. Connect your AI agent

Use `@phidiassj/aiyoperps-mcp-installer` for auto-registration or the stdio bridge when you need a manual integration path.

4. Go headless if needed

Start with `-- headless --port 5078`, or deploy through Docker for macOS-oriented usage.

FAQ

Common questions

Who is this for?

Manual traders, developer-operators, and teams experimenting with agent-assisted or agent-driven perps workflows.

Can I use only the API?
