AI agent setup and interaction guide

AiyoPerps can actively wake an AI agent under scheduled or threshold-based conditions, and it can also accept agent-led operation. This guide uses OpenAI Codex as the reference setup path.

1Install OpenAI Codex CLI

  • Skip this step if Codex CLI is already installed.
  • Codex App can also operate AiyoPerps through MCP, but it cannot currently be conditionally woken by AiyoPerps, so Codex CLI is the recommended path.
  • OpenAI currently recommends installing Codex CLI inside WSL for Windows users. Follow the official instructions on the OpenAI Codex CLI page.
  • Run Codex CLI once to confirm it starts correctly.

2Install AiyoPerps MCP

  • Installing AiyoPerps MCP reduces the time and token cost needed for AI agent interaction.
  • AiyoPerps MCP only allows local connections, including WSL virtual network interfaces on Windows.
  • Use the same installation command on Linux and Windows.

3Configure AI agent behavior in AiyoPerps

  • Click Agent Settings from the upper-left side of the Dashboard to open the AI agent settings window.
  • Enable AI Agent so the settings on this screen take effect.
  • Wake interval controls timed agent wake-up in minutes. Set it to 0 to disable scheduled wake-up.
  • Prompt template is where you define the strategy, analytical task, or execution instructions. You can include MCP tool names and parameter references from the MCP and REST API handbook.
  • Conditional wake-up lets you wake the agent based on price or unrealized PnL percentage thresholds.

Open the MCP and REST API handbook

After AI agent setup, the most useful follow-up is the full reference page for MCP tool names and parameter fields.
