1inch Business Launches Model Context Protocol for Agentic DeFi Trading

As a researcher following the DeFi space, I’ve been observing 1inch’s latest developments with interest. They’ve broadened the capabilities of their Model Context Protocol, and now AI agents can actually perform token swaps and manage cryptocurrency portfolios directly on the blockchain, all in real time. It’s a significant step towards more automated and dynamic DeFi strategies.

1inch Business announced the expansion of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) on March 30, 2026, to enable autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents to access decentralized finance infrastructure directly. The integration allows developers to build goal-oriented workflows where agents plan and execute swaps across the 1inch network using the Swap Application Programming Interface (API).

This update provides rapid access to a suite of 15 APIs, including Portfolio and Gas Price tools, reducing integration time from days to minutes. Developers maintain jurisdiction over automated strategies by setting strict rules for slippage thresholds, supported token pairs, and transaction signing methods to ensure secure execution.

“Agents, not humans, will be executing the majority of swaps by 2030,” said Sergej Kunz, 1inch co-founder. “However, the agent economy cannot eliminate market competition. Trading outcomes are still defined by data and execution quality. Poorly informed agents will underperform skilled humans. That is why choosing the infrastructure around the agent is as important as the strategy.”
