Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Coinbase Advanced Trade API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Coinbase Advanced Trade API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fcoinbase.com%2Fcoinbase" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fcoinbase.com%2Fcoinbase" | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Coinbase Advanced Trade API for, with concrete tasks.

★ AI agent trade execution

An AI agent reads a product's current ticker, which is public and needs no credential, decides on a target price, then places and later cancels orders using the account's stored token. Through Jentic the agent finds the market-data and order operations by intent and calls them without hand-signing each request.

Place a limit buy order for 0.01 BTC-USD at a target price and confirm it was accepted

Portfolio balance monitoring

A reporting agent lists brokerage accounts and their balances and rolls them up by portfolio to show current holdings. The API returns account and portfolio data so a dashboard can refresh positions without manual export.

List all accounts and report the balance of each portfolio in USD

Market data ingestion

A research pipeline pulls public products, candles, and tickers to feed a pricing model, using only the market-data endpoints that need no credential. The API exposes products and their historical candles so the pipeline can backfill and stream prices.

Fetch daily candles for BTC-USD over the last month and return them as a table

Key Endpoints

47 endpoints — the coinbase advanced trade api places and manages cryptocurrency trades on coinbase: it lists brokerage accounts and balances, creates and cancels orders, reads portfolios and fills, and returns public market data such as products, order books, and tickers.

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Calling the Coinbase Advanced Trade API by hand means generating a bearer token, signing requests correctly, and separating public market-data calls from authenticated trading calls. Through Jentic you install once, import Coinbase from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

The account id, order id, and product id sit in the URL path, so a rule can allow your agent to read balances and public market data while blocking order creation and cancellation. Public market-data endpoints such as the product list and ticker need no credential, so read-only research runs without touching your trading key.

Credential isolation

Your Coinbase API token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected when a trade runs. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'place a buy order' or 'get a product ticker', and Jentic returns the matching Coinbase operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the trading docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Coinbase Advanced Trade API through Jentic.

Is there a Coinbase Advanced Trade MCP server?

You don't need an MCP server to connect your agent to the Coinbase Advanced Trade API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import Coinbase, store your API token once, and your agent places orders and reads balances on demand.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Coinbase API?

Yes. Write a rule that allows only the read operations for accounts, balances, and market data, so the agent can research and report without placing or cancelling a single order. The account and order ids travel in the URL path, and every call the agent makes is logged.

What authentication does the Coinbase Advanced Trade API use?

Trading calls authenticate with a bearer token, while public market-data endpoints such as the product list and ticker need no credential. Through Jentic the token is stored once by your self-hosted instance and injected at call time, so it never reaches the agent's context.

Can I place a crypto order with the Coinbase API?

Yes. Create an order with the product, side, and size, and the API returns the order id and status. You can then list your historical orders and fills, or cancel the order while it is still open.

What are the rate limits for the Coinbase Advanced Trade API?

The OpenAPI spec does not specify rate limits. Coinbase enforces per-key request limits on the Advanced Trade API, so check your account's limits before running high-frequency strategies.

How do I connect the Coinbase Advanced Trade API to my AI agent?

Search the Jentic API Directory for the Coinbase operation you need, such as placing an order, and import it. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo, then your agent calls the API with your token injected at execution time.
