CLI Command Reference
All commands support --json for machine-readable output.
Authentication
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
acp configure | Authenticate via browser OAuth (blocks until sign-in completes) |
acp configure start | Get the auth URL + requestId and exit immediately (agent-friendly) |
acp configure complete --request-id <id> | Exchange a requestId for tokens. Returns {status:"pending"} until sign-in finishes; add --wait [--timeout <seconds>] to block-poll |
The split start / complete flow is for non-interactive agent harnesses that can't hold a blocking command open. Both paths persist the same token to the OS keychain. In --json mode the sign-in URL is also mirrored to stderr so it surfaces even if the harness buffers stdout.

acp agent create | Create a new agent |
acp agent list | List all agents |
acp agent use | Set the active agent |
acp agent add-signer | Add a signing key (browser approval required). Add --no-wait to print {signerUrl, requestId, publicKey} and exit for the agent-friendly split flow |
acp agent signer-status --request-id <id> --public-key <key> | Complete a split add-signer --no-wait: check approval and persist the signer. Returns {status:"pending"} until approved; add --wait [--timeout <seconds>] to block-poll |

Trading
acp trade is a single command for swaps and Hyperliquid trading. Hyperliquid is chain 1337, so swaps, HL deposits, HL spot orders, and HL withdrawals all use the same --token-in/--chain-in/--amount-in/--token-out/--chain-out shape — the chains decide the venue. Perps are the exception (a leveraged position) and use --side long|short. Swaps and deposits are orchestrated through the ACP backend (which forwards to the routing service; auto-routes BondingV5 / LiFi) and signed automatically by your keystore signer; HL spot/perp/withdraw are EIP-712 actions signed by the same signer.
| chain-in | chain-out | Intent |
|---|---|---|
| EVM | EVM | Same-chain or cross-chain swap (DEX routing) |
| EVM | 1337 | Deposit USDC into Hyperliquid |
1337 | 1337 | Spot order on the Hyperliquid order book |
1337 | EVM | Withdraw USDC from Hyperliquid |
Plus acp trade --side long\|short --token <sym> --size <n> for perps — Hyperliquid lists leveraged perp markets across crypto, equities/stocks, FX/currencies, and commodities, and the flags are identical for all of them (just change --token) — acp trade status for account state, and acp trade withdraw --amount <usdc> as a convenience withdraw form. Running bare acp trade in a terminal opens an interactive picker (humans only — agents pass explicit flags + --json).
Spot amounts mirror a swap: a buy (--token-in usdc) spends --amount-in USDC; a sell (--token-out usdc) sells --amount-in token units. HL spot pairs are USDC-quoted, so exactly one side must be usdc.
Hyperliquid keeps perp (collateral) and spot USDC in separate wallets, and deposits land in the perp wallet. The CLI auto-balances: before an order it moves the shortfall between wallets if needed (perp→spot for a spot buy, spot→perp for a perp) via an instant, free L1 transfer — so deposit → trade just works, with no manual transfer step. HL enforces a ~$10 minimum order value.
Cross-chain swaps and deposits block until the bridge settles: the command signs the source-chain tx, then the server polls the bridge every 10s. Deposits into Hyperliquid are typically ~10–30s (the Relay route is near-instant), with a 10-minute cap for slower routes — treat these as long-running and let the command return.
Examples:
# Same-chain swap on Base: USDC → VIRTUAL
acp trade --token-in usdc --chain-in 8453 --amount-in 50 --token-out virtual --chain-out 8453
# Cross-chain swap: USDC on Ethereum → USDC on Base
acp trade --token-in usdc --chain-in 1 --amount-in 100 --token-out usdc --chain-out 8453
# Deposit 25 USDC into Hyperliquid (chain-out 1337)
acp trade --token-in usdc --chain-in 8453 --amount-in 25 --token-out usdc --chain-out 1337
# Hyperliquid spot BUY: spend 100 USDC on PURR (both chains 1337)
acp trade --token-in usdc --chain-in 1337 --amount-in 100 --token-out PURR --chain-out 1337
# Hyperliquid spot SELL: sell 50 PURR for USDC
acp trade --token-in PURR --chain-in 1337 --amount-in 50 --token-out usdc --chain-out 1337
# Hyperliquid perp: market long 0.01 BTC at 5x leverage
acp trade --side long --token BTC --size 0.01 --leverage 5Supported swap chains: Base (8453), Ethereum (1), BSC (56), Hyperliquid (1337), Solana (+ Base Sepolia testnet). Swaps and deposits go through the ACP backend using your normal acp configure auth — no extra env vars required.
Skill
The CLI ships a SKILL.md that teaches an agent how to drive it. Because the binary upgrades independently of the skill text a harness loaded, these commands let an agent detect drift and re-load the version-matched skill.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
acp skill path | Print the absolute path to the bundled SKILL.md |
acp skill print | Print the full bundled SKILL.md (re-load this after an upgrade) |
acp skill check --against <version|hash> | Compare your loaded skill against the bundled one. Returns {version, skillHash, path, upToDate, action, hint}; upToDate:false → action:"reload" |
Serve
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
acp serve init | Scaffold a handler directory |
acp serve start | Start local server |
acp serve stop | Stop running server |
acp serve status | Check server status |
acp serve logs | View server logs |
acp serve deploy | Deploy to hosted infrastructure |
acp serve undeploy | Remove deployment |
acp serve endpoints | Show endpoint URLs |
