Build trading agents and integrate Web3 APIs in minutes with the 1inch Business MCP

AI agents can now directly access 1inch infrastructure via the 1inch MCP, enabling them to plan and execute swaps, analyze portfolio data and interact with on-chain markets in real time.

1inch Business is now optimized for agentic DeFi.  That means you can build direct access to the 1inch Swap API into your automated trading flows - or integrate a wider range of products in minutes via your preferred AI development tool.

The 1inch MCP  (model context protocol) gives developers rapid access to best-in-class data, infrastructure and execution.

AI agents need infrastructure

“Agents, not humans, will be executing the majority of swaps by 2030,” says Sergej Kunz, 1inch co-founder. “However, the agent economy cannot eliminate market competition. Trading outcomes are still defined by data and execution quality. Poorly informed agents will underperform skilled humans. That is why choosing the infrastructure around the agent is as important as the strategy.”

The 1inch MCP Server enables developers and enterprises to build goal-oriented, agentic workflows powered by 1inch APIs. AI agents can now directly access the 1inch Swap API for execution - or get live access to docs, SDKs and working code examples for the full suite of 15 APIs - Swap, Balance, Portfolio, Token, Gas Price and Transaction APIs - building comprehensive capabilities for data access, trading and on-chain execution in minutes.

Developers retain control

These workflows are still controlled by developers, who incorporate rules around supported elements like chains and token pairs. Developers can also set limits on variables like slippage thresholds and execution limits. They can even choose how transactions are signed to avoid mistakes. 

This automated trading functionality expands the 1inch MCP launched last month, which initially introduced connectivity between AI coding assistants and the 1inch ecosystem through three core tools: docs search, example discovery and code retrieval.

What the 1inch MCP enables

With the 1inch MCP, developers get access to: 

• Agent-native execution & automation. Supports end-to-end AI workflows, from search and code generation to analysis and trade execution. Portfolio and balance data enable informed decision-making, while execution is supported across all 1inch swap types (classic, intent-based and cross-chain), with built-in support for goal-based agents, gasless transactions, multi-agent coordination, and policy-aware automation.
• Faster workflows (days to minutes). AI instantly retrieves relevant docs, code examples and API details - eliminating manual searching and dramatically accelerating development time.
• Living, searchable documentation. All APIs, SDK examples and integration guides are continuously updated, fully searchable and embedded directly into the developer workflow.
• Seamless integration & broad compatibility. One-line setup with support across 10+ tools (Cursor, VS Code, Claude, Codex, JetBrains, Gemini, etc.), enabling quick adoption in existing environments.

As autonomous software becomes a core interface to Web3, 1inch is positioning itself at the center of this shift. We aim to support the next generation of builders creating secure, reliable and scalable agent-driven products.
