What is hoodpocket
hoodpocket is the commerce and financial layer for AI agents on Robinhood. The first product, pocket wallet, gives your AI agent a small, separate, self-custodial wallet it can trade from 24/7 on Robinhood Chain, inside limits you set.
It ships as an MCP server, so any MCP-capable agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others) can use it out of the box.

Why it exists
Giving an agent your exchange API key or wallet seed gives it everything: keys are all-or-nothing. Prompt-level rules ("only trade $100") are suggestions the model can misread, forget, or be injected out of. And open chains are adversarial: full of tokens named after things they are not.
hoodpocket answers with three design decisions:
- Isolation. The pocket is a fresh wallet funded with only what the agent may trade. Worst case is the pocket, nothing more.
- Policy before signatures. Every trade is checked against your guardrails before anything is signed. A blocked trade costs nothing.
- Scam-aware classification. Every token is sorted into a trust tier using on-chain signals that cost money to fake, never its name.
What the agent can do
- Discover tokens: memecoins (Noxa launches), utility tokens (Virtuals), tokenized stocks
- Classify any address into a trust tier, with reasons
- Quote and swap against native ETH or USDG through Uniswap v4
- See the portfolio, its limits, and the full trade history
What the agent can never do
- See the private key (there is no MCP tool that returns it)
- Send funds out of the wallet (there is no withdrawal tool)
- Exceed the per-trade or daily USD limits you set
