Korbit, a South Korean cryptocurrency exchange, launched Korbit CLI on the 24th, a PC-based trading tool enabling users to execute crypto transactions through conversations with AI agents. Users can issue natural language commands such as 'Show me Bitcoin price' or 'Buy Ethereum' to AI agents like ChatGPT Codex and Claude Code, which then perform tasks including price checks, balance inquiries, order placements, and deposits/withdrawals. The launch reflects a broader industry trend, with major Korean exchanges integrating generative AI into trading platforms to enhance user accessibility.

One-Command Installation and Mock Trading Environment
Installation requires a single command line. The tool automatically configures the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and agent skills necessary for AI agent integration, allowing immediate use without development expertise. Korbit provides a mock trading environment where users can test AI agents and automated trading programs without linking actual accounts or assets. The package includes Korbit TUI, a terminal interface displaying real-time prices, order books, and candlestick charts for on-screen trading.
Korbit published 'llms.txt,' a document training AI coding agents on Korbit Open API usage, enabling developers to build price collection programs and trading bots more rapidly. Lee Jung-woo, Korbit CTO, stated, 'In environments where AI handles real assets, execution reliability, traceability, and pre-validation systems are critical. We will continue to expand infrastructure allowing AI agents to directly connect and trade virtual assets.'
