TL;DR

• Kraken CLI is an open-source, single-binary execution engine built by Kraken that gives AI agents and developers direct, native access to crypto markets— supporting spot trading, futures, staking, subaccount transfers, and WebSocket streaming across 134 commands, all via a zero-dependency Rust binary with clean NDJSON output designed for machine consumption.

• Kraken CLI includes a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, making it the first crypto exchange CLI natively compatible with agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, as well as terminal-native agent environments like OpenCode and OpenClaw — enabling AI agents to instantly understand and execute exchange operations without custom API wrappers, nonce management, or HMAC signing.

• Kraken CLI ships with a local paper trading engine that lets AI agents safely test trading logic against live market data with no financial risk — running a local state engine that tracks simulated balances, executes limit and market orders against the live ticker, and calculates unrealized P&L entirely offline.

Built for the way AI agents actually work

To accelerate this transition to an agentic future, we are thrilled to open-source the Kraken CLI: a powerful, single-binary execution engine purpose-built to give AI models (and developers) safe, native, and instant access to crypto markets.
