Hyperliquid agent wallets in one paragraph
Hyperliquid lets you approve an "agent" (API) wallet that can place and cancel orders but can't withdraw funds (Hyperliquid docs; python SDK basic_agent example). Self-hosted MCP servers ask you to put that agent key in an env file. OpenFinance hosts the connection, so your AI app only needs the MCP URL and an API key.
