MCP Server (Recommended)

The easiest way for AI agents to interact with PokePerps is via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.

Read-only mode (no wallet required):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokeperps": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@pokeperps/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

With trade execution (requires Solana keypair):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokeperps": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@pokeperps/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "POKEPERPS_KEYPAIR": "/path/to/your/keypair.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Architecture

Agent (you)
  │
  ├── REST API (https://backend.pokeperps.fun/api/...)
  │     ├── Read-only: card data, prices, markets, positions
  │     └── Transaction builders: returns params for Solana transactions

The backend does NOT sign or submit transactions. It provides instruction data and account addresses. You build, sign, and submit transactions client-side.

Optimized Trading Flow

1. GET /api/trading/analytics/movers       → Find opportunities
2. POST /api/cards/batch                   → Fetch details for candidates
3. GET /api/cards/{id}/signals             → Get trading recommendation
4. GET /api/trading/prepare-trade/{id}     → Validate trade
5. POST /api/trading/tx/open-position      → Execute trade
6. GET /api/trading/portfolio/{wallet}     → Monitor positions

This uses 6 API calls instead of 15+ in the traditional flow.

PnL Calculation

margin = size / leverage
fee = size * 0.0005  (0.05% on open, same on close)

For long:
  unrealized_pnl = size * (current_price - entry_price) / entry_price
  liquidation_price = entry_price * (1 - (margin - maintenance_margin) / size)

For short:
  unrealized_pnl = size * (entry_price - current_price) / entry_price
  liquidation_price = entry_price * (1 + (margin - maintenance_margin) / size)

Maintenance margin = size * 0.01 (1%)

Decision-Making Signals

Use /api/cards/{id}/signals for pre-computed analysis:

Bullish (go long):

• Positive change_24h with high activity_score
• Recent sales trending above market_price
• Decreasing listing count (supply shrinking)
• High short OI relative to long (potential short squeeze)

Bearish (go short):

• Negative change_24h and change_30d
• Recent sales trending below market_price
• Increasing listing count (supply growing)
• High long OI relative to short (potential long squeeze)

Agent Best Practices

Minimize API Calls

| Instead of... | Use... |
|---|---|
| GET /account + GET /positions + oracle calls | GET /api/trading/portfolio/{wallet} (1 call) |
| Multiple GET /api/cards/{id} calls | POST /api/cards/batch (1 call for up to 50) |
| 5+ calls to validate a trade | GET /api/trading/prepare-trade/{id} (1 call) |
| Scanning all cards for movers | GET /api/trading/analytics/movers (1 call) |

Position Management

1. Check riskStatus before opening new positions — avoid if warning or danger
2. Use distanceToLiquidation for stop-loss (conservative: close if <10%, moderate: <5%)
3. Monitor fundingDirection — avoid positions that pay funding
4. Check wouldExceedOI before large trades

Security

• Always verify PDAs client-side before signing transactions
• Never expose private keys in API calls
• Validate oracleAge < 15 seconds before trading
• Check canTrade from prepare-trade before proceeding
