1inch has expanded its MCP Server to let AI agents natively access the full 1inch DeFi infrastructure, positioning the company at the center of the emerging agent-driven trading stack. Through the 1inch business portal, developers can now plug AI agents directly into 15 APIs, including Swap, Balance, Portfolio, Token, Gas Price, and Transaction, enabling automated planning and execution of onchain swaps and portfolio analysis in real time.
Co‑founder Sergej Kunz expects AI agents to execute most swaps by 2030, making data quality and execution infrastructure a key competitive moat for 1inch as the agent economy scales. The upgraded MCP supports goal-based, policy-aware workflows with rules around chains, token pairs, slippage, execution limits, and signing methods, while remaining non-custodial at the API level.
This release builds on last month’s MCP launch, which focused on connecting AI coding assistants to 1inch via search, example discovery, and code retrieval tools. The new capabilities extend that into end-to-end automation: agents can move from discovering how to integrate 1inch to actually routing trades and managing positions using Classic, intent-based, and cross-chain swap execution.
For developers and enterprises, 1inch is pitching faster development cycles as AI agents can instantly surface relevant documentation, SDK examples, and integration guides embedded into their coding environment. The MCP offers a one-line setup and works across more than 10 leading tools, including major IDEs and AI assistants, which is designed to reduce integration friction and speed time to market for agentic DeFi products.
Strategically, this positions 1inch as a core infrastructure layer for autonomous software interfaces to Web3, beyond its current role in low-cost token routing for over 27 million users and more than $300 million in daily trading volume. As AI-native trading and portfolio agents proliferate, 1inch stands to deepen its API monetization opportunities, increase flow through its aggregation engine, and strengthen its relevance with institutional and enterprise builders seeking secure, scalable, and policy-controlled agent workflows.
The company emphasizes that the MCP Server itself does not execute transactions or take custody, leaving signing controls with developers or end users while still centralizing data and routing intelligence. If agent-driven DeFi adoption accelerates as projected, this move could materially enhance 1inch’s strategic position in the infrastructure stack, support higher transaction volumes across its network, and create a defensible role as the execution and data backbone for AI-first trading and asset management solutions.
