AgentKit Overview
How Yield.xyz gives AI agents the tools and context to use on-chain yield.
Yield.xyz AgentKit gives AI agents access to the full onchain yield ecosystem through one unified interface. It is built to help agents discover opportunities, evaluate strategies, monitor positions, and generate unsigned transactions across staking, liquid staking, restaking, lending, vaults, liquidity provision, delegation-based yields, and more. AgentKit provides access to 80+ blockchain networks and 2,900+ yield opportunities, with live data continuously aggregated and normalized across sources, including APY, TVL, fees, liquidity, and strategy metadata. From opportunity discovery to transaction generation, the full workflow is handled end to end. It is built on the same battle-tested systems that power Yield.xyz in production, trusted by millions of users and integrated by platforms including Ledger, Anchorage Digital, Turnkey, Crossmint, Utila, Deblock, Tuyo, and Portal. Transactions are always returned unsigned. Keys and execution remain entirely in your control.
What Agents Can Do
With Yield.xyz AgentKit, AI systems can:
- Search yield opportunities by asset, network, protocol type, TVL, APY, and other filters
- Compare rates across chains for the same asset and identify better risk-adjusted opportunities
- Plan strategies by allocating idle assets and generating transactions
- Rotate positions when better yield opportunities emerge
- Evaluate execution paths across multiple strategies and guide users toward the best available route
- Construct unsigned transactions for staking, depositing, claiming, withdrawing, unstaking, and reallocation
- Monitor active positions including rewards, status changes, and pending actions across wallets
What AgentKit includes
Yield.xyz AgentKit consists of four core components:
- Yield.xyz AgentKit MCP A tool layer for fetching data, evaluating opportunities, and generating transaction payloads
- Yield.xyz AgentKit Openclaw Skills An execution and workflow layer with bash scripts and advanced SuperSkills for monitoring, strategy automation, and cross-chain operations
- Yield.xyz AgentKit Claude Plugin
A native integration that brings Yield.xyz AgentKit directly into Claude, enabling seamless interaction, execution, and automation within the Claude environment. - Yield.xyz AgentKit Skills
Structured skill layers that guide the agent to execute end-to-end workflows, including yield discovery, transaction preparation, and intelligent orchestration of actions.
What makes AgentKit different
Yield.xyz AgentKit is not just a data wrapper or documentation layer. It gives agents the ability to both understand yield and act on it. All chain-specific complexity — including routing, validation, and transaction construction — is abstracted away through Yield.xyz. Agents get accurate yield data, structured workflows, and execution-ready payloads without needing to manage protocol-specific logic themselves. Transactions are always unsigned, so execution control remains fully with the developer, wallet, or end user.
Quick Start - MCP Access
The fastest way to get started is by connecting the Yield.xyz Agent MCP server directly.
MCP Endpoint: https://mcp.yield.xyz/mcp
No API key or authentication is required to get started. A default API key is already configured for testing purposes.
Health Check (Optional): https://mcp.yield.xyz/health
{
"status": "ok",
"service": "yield-mcp-server"
}See Connect to MCP for detailed setup instructions across Claude Connector, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code.
Choose Your Integration MCP vs Skills
| MCP | Skills | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A protocol for connecting AI agents to external tools/services via a server | Instruction files (Markdown) that encode domain expertise and workflows |
| Interface | Structured tool calls with typed inputs/outputs | Agent reads the skill as context, shapes how it reasons and responds |
| Best for | Claude-based agents, Claude Desktop, Claude Code | Autonomous agents like Claude, Codex, Gemini CLI etc. |
| Setup | Add a URL in Claude Settings → Connectors | npx skills add https://github.com/stakekit/agentkit |
How It Works
Your agent calls Yield.xyz tools → Yield.xyz constructs chain-correct transactions → your signing layer executes them.

Blockchain
Yield.xyz constructs complete, chain-correct transactions but never executes them. Compatible with browser wallets, hardware wallets, MPC infrastructure, smart contract accounts, and institutional custody platforms.
MCP Tools
Yield.xyz AgentKit MCP gives agents a complete on-chain yield toolkit, 16 tools across discovery, diligence, execution, and tracking, available through a single MCP surface.
Capabilities at a glance
- Discovery — find the right yield across every network, token, and provider with server-side search and filtering
- Diligence — assess yields with risk ratings and historical APY and TVL trends before committing capital
- Execution — generate ready-to-sign transactions for entering, exiting, or managing any position
- Tracking — follow every action and transaction from creation through on-chain confirmation
See the Tool Reference for the full list and per-tool details.
Security
- SOC 2 compliant — trust.yield.xyz
- Transactions are constructed server-side but never executed
- Pre-transaction simulation detects and blocks unsafe interactions before they reach the chain
- Agent safety guardrails:

Risk disclosure: Yield Agents constructs transactions — it does not provide financial advice. DeFi involves substantial risk including smart contract vulnerabilities, market volatility, and liquidity constraints. Only use funds you can afford to lose.
