Separate Robinhood API
Crypto is not listed as a currently supported Agentic Trading MCP order asset. Robinhood provides a separate Crypto Trading API for eligible United States Robinhood Crypto customers. A robust product must not treat the two systems as interchangeable.
Side-by-side
| Capability | Robinhood Trading MCP | Robinhood Crypto Trading API |
|---|---|---|
| Primary use | AI-agent tools for a dedicated Agentic investing account | Programmatic crypto market data, account access, and crypto orders |
| Current trading assets | Long equities and options | Eligible USD crypto trading pairs |
| Authentication | MCP authorization and Agentic account onboarding | API key, Ed25519 signature, and timestamp headers |
| Account boundary | Trades only in the dedicated Agentic account | Robinhood Crypto account |
| Interfaces | Named MCP tools for portfolio, research, scans, and orders | Versioned REST endpoints |
| Versions / pricing | Capabilities evolve with the MCP tool catalog | v1 non-fee-tier orders; v2 supports eligible fee-tier trading |
Robinhood documents read access to crypto accounts, holdings, orders, products or trading pairs, and quotes, plus programmatic crypto order placement. V2 includes fee-tier trading in eligible jurisdictions.
Crypto API requests use an API key plus a timestamped Ed25519 signature. The private signing key is highly sensitive and must be encrypted, access-controlled, rotatable, and excluded from logs and client-side code.
The current Max AI Trading production release does not connect to the Crypto Trading API or accept user crypto API private keys. Any future integration requires a dedicated security design, explicit user consent, jurisdiction checks, permission scoping, order idempotency, reconciliation, and crypto-specific disclosures.

FAQ
Robinhood’s current Agentic Trading documentation identifies long equities and options orders, not crypto orders. The Crypto Trading API is the documented official interface for programmatic crypto trading.
No. A private signing key should be treated as a high-impact secret and should never be pasted into an AI chat, committed to a repository, exposed to browser code, or written to logs.
No. The current product does not collect or use Robinhood Crypto API credentials.
