Beneat

Risk enforcement and behavioral coaching for AI trading agents. 19 tools (18 core + 1 semantic router) over MCP (stdio + HTTP) and a plain REST API — pre-trade validation, P&L tracking, session calibration, behavioral analytics, and natural-language intent routing via Cohere Rerank.

The reference implementation is wired to Solana + Drift Protocol. The chain adapters live in src/lib/ — swap them out to use any exchange or chain. See Adapting to Other Chains.

Your agent trades. Beneat makes sure it doesn't blow up.

Hosted Instance

Beneat MCP is live at https://beneat-mcp.onrender.com. No installation required.

Add to any MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "beneat": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://beneat-mcp.onrender.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

REST API

curl https://beneat-mcp.onrender.com/health                                         # Health check
curl https://beneat-mcp.onrender.com/api/tools                                      # Tool manifest
curl -X POST https://beneat-mcp.onrender.com/api/tools/beneat_get_status \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"wallet_address":"YOUR_WALLET"}'          # Call any tool
curl -X POST https://beneat-mcp.onrender.com/api/route \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"intent":"am I safe to trade?"}'          # Semantic routing

Self-Host

cd mcp-server
npm install && npm run build
npm run start:http    # HTTP on localhost:3001
npm run start         # stdio transport

Self-hosted REST API uses http://localhost:3001 instead of the hosted URL.

Then add one line to your agent's system prompt:

Before executing any trade, call beneat_check_trade with your wallet address. After every trade, call beneat_record_trade with the P&L.

Zero code changes to your trading logic. The MCP server handles enforcement.

How It Works

Agent wants to trade
  │
  ├─ beneat_calibrate ──→ Sets risk rules (daily loss limit, max trades, cooldown)
  │                        Returns unsigned TXs to deploy on-chain
  │
  ├─ beneat_check_trade ──→ Pre-flight: lockout? cooldown? budget left?
  │                          Returns approved/denied + coaching context
  │
  ├─ [Agent executes trade]
  │
  ├─ beneat_record_trade ──→ Logs P&L in session tracker
  │                           Daily loss limit breached?
  │                             ├─ YES → Lockout triggered → AgentWallet FROZEN
  │                             └─ NO  → Continue trading
  │
  └─ beneat_check_trade ──→ DENIED (vault locked, wallet frozen)
                             Agent blocked until lockout expires

Vault-Optional Mode

7 tools work without a Beneat vault account, falling back to Helius transaction history analysis:

Mode	Enforcement	Trust Score Cap	Requirements
Enforced (with vault)	On-chain lockouts + AgentWallet freeze	100	Vault deployed
Advisory (no vault)	Session tracking + recommendations	40	Just a wallet address

Any Solana trading agent can start using Beneat immediately in advisory mode. Create a vault to unlock full enforcement.

Tools (19)

Core Enforcement

Tool	Purpose
beneat_check_trade	Pre-flight check: lockout, cooldown, trade count, daily loss budget. Returns approved/denied with reasons and optional coaching context
beneat_record_trade	Log trade P&L. Checks daily loss limit, triggers lockout if breached, freezes AgentWallet
beneat_calibrate	Auto-calibrate risk params from history. 3 tiers: capital-based → behavioral → quantitative (VaR, Sharpe, Kelly). Returns unsigned TXs
beneat_recalibrate	Re-run calibration with latest history
beneat_set_policy	AgentWallet policy control: freeze, restore, sync, status

Agent Coaching

Tool	Purpose
beneat_get_session_strategy	Session plan: mode (aggressive/normal/recovery), max trades, focus markets, stop conditions
beneat_get_playbook	Personalized playbook: identity, primary/restricted markets, Kelly position sizing, behavioral rules, regime detection
beneat_get_analytics	Behavioral analysis: hallucination rate, tilt, revenge trading, overconfidence. Returns machine-readable directives[]
beneat_calibrate_confidence	Map reported confidence (0-1) to historical accuracy. Returns calibrated confidence + position size recommendation

Discovery & Monitoring

Tool	Purpose
beneat_get_status	Vault lockout state, cooldown, trades remaining, can_trade flag
beneat_get_profile	On-chain reputation scores (8 ratings, 0-99 each), win rate, trading history
beneat_verify_agent	Trust score (0-100), risk grade (A-F). Use before accepting counterparty risk
beneat_health_check	Portfolio health: Drift perp positions (11 markets), unrealized P&L, warnings
beneat_get_leaderboard	Ranked agents by trust grade, discipline, win rate, P&L
beneat_register_agent	Self-signup for leaderboard tracking
beneat_cancel_swap	Diagnose stuck swap_in_progress state

Admin & Registration

Tool	Purpose
beneat_reset_session	Reset in-memory trading session (used by benchmarks)
beneat_set_advisory_limits	Configure advisory risk limits for a session (used by benchmarks)
beneat_register_agent	Register an AI agent on the leaderboard for tracking

Semantic Routing

Tool	Purpose
beneat_smart_route	Route natural-language intent to most relevant tools via Cohere Rerank. Session-aware scoring blends semantic relevance (70%) with per-tool session-state weights (30%). Falls back gracefully without COHERE_API_KEY.

Also available as POST /api/route for REST clients outside MCP.

Calibration Tiers

The calibration engine adapts to the agent's trade history:

Tier	Trades Required	Method	Metrics
Tier 1	0-4	Capital-based	Strategy type + risk tolerance → base rules
Tier 2	5-19	Behavioral	Win rate, loss streaks, revenge trading ratio
Tier 3	20+	Quantitative	VaR 95%, Sharpe ratio, Kelly fraction, max drawdown, profit factor

Strategy presets:

Strategy	Max Trades/Day	Cooldown
scalping	50	30s
day_trading	20	120s
swing_trading	5	600s
conservative	3	1800s

Risk tolerance levels:

Level	Daily Loss Limit	Lockout Duration
low	1% of capital	24 hours
medium	3%	12 hours
high	5%	6 hours
degen	10%	2 hours

Key Design Decisions

Never signs transactions. The server builds unsigned VersionedTransaction objects (base64-encoded) for the caller to sign. Private keys never touch the MCP server.

Vault-optional fallback. When no vault exists, tools fall back to Helius transaction history for analytics and advisory-mode enforcement. Agents can start without any on-chain setup.

Machine-readable output. Analytics returns structured directives[] (e.g., { type: "avoid_market", severity: "warning", params: { market: "PUMP_FUN" } }) that agents can consume programmatically.

Session state classification. The coaching engine classifies agents into 5 states (normal, post_loss, tilt, hot_streak, post_lockout_recovery) and adjusts position sizing, trade limits, and market recommendations accordingly.

On-Chain Programs

Program	Address	Purpose
Vault	GaxNRQXHVoYJQQEmXGRWSmBRmAvt7iWBtUuYWf8f8pki	Risk enforcement vault
Drift	dRiftyHA39MWEi3m9aunc5MzRF1JYuBsbn6VPcn33UH	Perpetual futures (position reading)

PDA seeds: ["vault", owner] and ["trader_profile", authority]

Adapting to Other Chains

The business logic — calibration, session state, behavioral analytics, coaching, scoring, semantic routing — is chain-agnostic. Only four files in src/lib/ are Solana-specific. Fork and replace them to target any exchange or chain:

File	What to replace
src/lib/vault-reader.ts	Your chain's account / state reader
src/lib/helius-client.ts	Your exchange's trade history API
src/lib/transaction-builder.ts	Your chain's unsigned transaction builder
src/lib/constants.ts	Your program IDs, contract addresses, seeds

Everything in quant-engine.ts, session-store.ts, scoring.ts, reranker.ts, and all src/tools/ stays the same.

Advisory Mode (no chain required)

14 of 19 tools run entirely on in-memory session state — no wallet, no RPC, no API keys needed. Useful for testing, CEX agents, or any context where on-chain state isn't available.

Dependencies

Package	Purpose
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk	MCP server framework
@solana/kit	Modern Solana RPC + PDA derivation
@solana/web3.js	Transaction building
zod	Runtime input validation
