Best for
  • Users already running Hummingbot API who want AI-client control of trading
  • Crypto traders comfortable with Docker/uv configuration
  • Engineering teams scaling AI coding agents while controlling spend
  • Platform teams that need auditable, rollback-aware agent execution records
  • Organizations using multiple agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) under one governed flow
Not for
  • Users without Hummingbot or a running API server
  • Beginners without trading background who cannot absorb automated-trading risk
  • Developers who just want a simple code-completion helper without run governance
  • Teams unwilling to accept local JSONL run records with HMAC signing
  • Environments without a supported adapter (Claude/Codex/Gemini CLIs, direct provider, or verifier-only)
Required permissions
  • Requires Hummingbot API username and password (HUMMINGBOT_USERNAME, HUMMINGBOT_PASSWORD)
  • Requires a reachable Hummingbot API URL (HUMMINGBOT_API_URL)
  • Docker deployment mounts ~/.hummingbot_mcp to persist configuration
  • Read/write access to the configured repo root (writable scope restrictable via --allow-path/--deny-path)
  • Ability to invoke the chosen agent CLI (Claude/Codex/Gemini, etc.) and its underlying model account
  • Local disk writes for run records, receipts, and share outputs (share/run-receipt., etc.)
  • Execution of user-configured verifier commands (e.g. npm test)
Risks and side effects
  • The server can place real trade orders; misconfiguration can lead to financial loss
  • API credentials are stored in environment variables and .env files and must be protected
  • Connecting to a wrong URL or exposing the API publicly introduces security risk
  • Verifier commands are executed; poorly chosen verifier commands carry security risk despite preflight policy checks
  • Cost and token figures may be estimates (labeled with provenance) and should not be treated as settled accounting
  • Receipt integrity must be verified before use as trustworthy evidence; missing rollback evidence is flagged as EVIDENCE_BOUNDARY
  • Policy defaults come from martin.config.yaml and can be overridden by CLI flags; misconfiguration can loosen safety boundaries
