AST AGENTASTER DEXPERPS · SPOT

Perps, by agent.

Our goal is simple: put an agent between you and every Aster market. AST Agent reads the book before it speaks and tells you what it sees. This website never places orders. It runs on Aster's open MCP server and skills, so the same agent works in your terminal, in Cursor, in Claude, or in OpenClaw. Explore the desks.

The machineit reads aster, live

It reads the whole exchange.

Three loops, each on its own cadence. Everything below is read straight from Aster's public futures API in your browser. Nothing is summarised into a number you can't check.

PID 1 :: MARKET_READERSTARTING

It reads before it speaks.

Ticker, book, funding and candles for every Aster perp, refreshed on a fixed cadence. Every answer the agent gives starts from what it just read, never from memory.

PID 2 :: ORDER_DESKYOUR KEYS

It only acts when you sign.

Orders go through Aster's MCP server on your own machine, with API keys encrypted locally. The site never sees a key. Local trading behavior depends on your own MCP setup. This website cannot place orders.

order tools: create_order · cancel_order · set_leverage · install

PID 3 :: SKILL_LOADERLOADED

It speaks Aster's API.

25 open skills teach any agent Aster's auth, trading, market data, websockets, accounts, errors and deposits, so it calls the API correctly the first time.

The desks— desks in 6 groups

Every Aster market, with an agent inside.

One line each, taken from the real Aster MCP tool list. Public desks show a live number from Aster. Desks that touch your account run only on your machine, through your own keys.

The stackfour layers, one agent

Four layers, one agent.

Everything AST Agent does rests on open Aster code. Nothing hidden sits between the agent and the exchange.

LAYER 1

Skills

Instructions an agent loads to know Aster's API: auth, trading, data, websockets, errors, deposits.

asterdex/aster-skills-hub

LAYER 2

MCP server

Every Aster call wrapped as a tool an agent can use, for futures and spot, plus a CLI.

asterdex/aster-mcp

LAYER 3

Your keys

HMAC key and secret, or a v3 EIP-712 signer wallet. Stored Fernet-encrypted on your own machine.

~/.config/aster-mcp/

LAYER 4

Aster

The exchange itself. Futures and spot REST, plus websocket streams.

Installrun the agent yourself

Your machine. Your keys.

Two ways in. Give your agent the MCP server for tools, or load the skills so it knows the API by heart. Most setups use both.

1 · MCP SERVER

# install
pip install git+https://github.com/asterdex/aster-mcp.git

# add an account (HMAC by default)
aster-mcp config
# or a v3 signer account (EIP-712)
aster-mcp config --account-id main --auth-type v3

# check it, then start it
aster-mcp test main
aster-mcp start

2 · CURSOR / CLAUDE

// MCP settings
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aster": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "aster_mcp.simple_server"]
    }
  }
}

// then just ask:
// "get Aster BTC price"

The ruleswhat it will not do

The safety rules, written down first.

RULE 01

No key leaves your machine.

API keys are stored encrypted by the MCP server on your computer. This website never asks for one and has nowhere to put it.

RULE 02

No deposits on this site.

This website cannot deposit. If you install account tools locally, review their permissions before using them.

RULE 03

It reads before it answers.

Prices, funding and books are fetched at the moment you ask. A number the agent can't read is said to be missing, never guessed.

RULE 04

It backs off.

A 429 means slow down and a 418 means stop. The agent respects Aster's rate limits instead of hammering the API.

RULE 05

Testnet first.

Spot skills point at Aster's spot testnet. Try a strategy there before real size touches a real book.

RULE 06

Never financial advice.

It reads markets and places what you tell it to. It doesn't promise outcomes, and leverage can lose everything.
