# Overview

{% hint style="info" %}
The Praxis API is under active development and not yet publicly available. This page outlines what's coming. Join our community to be among the first to get access.
{% endhint %}

We're building a full programmatic interface to Praxis so you can trade, monitor positions, and run automated strategies without ever touching the UI.

Whether you're shipping a trading bot, integrating Praxis into your own product, or building an AI agent that operates on yield 24/7, this API is designed for you.

## What's Coming

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th>Interface</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>REST API</strong></td><td>Query markets, place and settle positions, manage vaults, and pull analytics. Standard JSON over HTTPS.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>MCP Server</strong></td><td>A Model Context Protocol interface purpose-built for AI agents. Deposit once, let your agent operate on yield with no principal at risk.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>WebSocket</strong></td><td>Real-time market data, position updates, and settlement events. Essential for latency-sensitive strategies and live dashboards.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Why Praxis for Agents?

The principal-protected model is structurally well-suited for automated strategies. Your agent operates on yield instead of principal so high-frequency execution has bounded downside. One deposit, indefinite operation.
