And the answer, until now, was no. Every DeFi MCP server I looked at fell into one of two camps: Read-only — your agent can look at prices, maybe get a quote, but can't actually do anything Custodial — hand over your keys and trust the server not to drain your wallet Neither is acceptable. Read-only is a toy. Custodial is a liability. So we built a third option. The Hard Problem: It's Not the DEX. It's the Keys. The hard problem of agentic DeFi isn't connecting to a DEX. Any wrapper can do that. The hard problem is: who holds the keys? CSPR.trade MCP does neither read-only nor custody. The agent builds the transaction remotely, your machine signs it locally, and keys never move . That's not a feature. That's the architecture.
