This PR establishes Hummingbot API as the official entry point for running Hummingbot, with Swagger UI as the primary interaction method and optional MCP/Dashboard services that users can enable during setup. ## Changes ### Setup Script (setup.sh) - Added interactive prompts for optional services: - "Enable MCP server for AI assistant usage? (y/n)" - "Enable Dashboard web interface? (y/n)" - Automatic service enablement via sed to uncomment docker-compose services - Conditional output showing only enabled services and relevant setup instructions - Clear hierarchy: Swagger UI (default) → MCP (optional) → Dashboard (optional) ### Docker Compose (docker-compose.yml) - Commented out MCP service by default (optional) - Commented out Dashboard service by default (optional) - Only core services run by default: API, PostgreSQL, EMQX - Users can enable during setup or manually uncomment ### README.md - Restructured "Ways to Interact" section: 1. Swagger UI (default, always available) 2. MCP - AI Assistant (optional) 3. Dashboard (optional) - Clear "Quick Start" with setup process explanation - Distinguished core vs optional services - Step-by-step post-setup instructions based on enabled services ## User Experience **Default setup** (answering "n" to optional services): - Swagger UI immediately available at http://localhost:8000/docs - Full REST API access with interactive documentation - Minimal resource footprint **With MCP enabled**: - AI assistant integration (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) - Natural language trading commands - Setup instructions displayed after installation **With Dashboard enabled**: - Web-based visual interface at http://localhost:8501 - Graphical bot management and monitoring ## QA Testing Required⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: This is now the main entry point for Hummingbot deployment. Please test thoroughly: ### Core Functionality - [ ] Run `./setup.sh` with default options (no MCP, no Dashboard) - [ ] Verify Swagger UI accessible at http://localhost:8000/docs - [ ] Test API authentication with configured credentials - [ ] Verify core services running: API, PostgreSQL, EMQX ### MCP Integration - [ ] Run `./setup.sh` and answer "y" to MCP prompt - [ ] Verify MCP container starts successfully - [ ] Test Claude Desktop integration with provided config - [ ] Verify natural language commands work through MCP ### Dashboard Integration - [ ] Run `./setup.sh` and answer "y" to Dashboard prompt - [ ] Verify Dashboard accessible at http://localhost:8501 - [ ] Test authentication with configured credentials - [ ] Verify Dashboard can communicate with API ### Combined Setup - [ ] Run `./setup.sh` with both MCP and Dashboard enabled - [ ] Verify all three access methods work simultaneously - [ ] Check resource usage and performance ### Re-enablement - [ ] Run `./setup.sh` again to enable previously disabled services - [ ] Verify services can be enabled without full reinstall 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Added comprehensive Gateway setup section for DEX trading - Option 1: Using Swagger UI with API endpoints - Option 2: Using MCP AI assistant with natural language commands - Includes verification steps, access URLs, and troubleshooting - Explains OS-specific networking (macOS/Windows vs Linux) - No separate Gateway installation needed - managed by API 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

The previous sed commands were incorrectly uncommmenting the comment line
itself ('Uncomment to enable...'), which broke docker-compose.yml syntax.
Changes:
- Delete the comment line FIRST before uncommenting service lines
- Use correct starting pattern (# dashboard: and # hummingbot-mcp:)
- This ensures the comment line is removed cleanly before processing
Fixes issue on Linux Ubuntu 24.04 where services failed to start after
running setup.sh with MCP/Dashboard enabled.

## Changes ### docker-compose.yml - Comment out hummingbot-mcp service (enabled via setup.sh) - Remove HUMMINGBOT_USERNAME and HUMMINGBOT_PASSWORD env vars - Change volume from host directory (~/.hummingbot_mcp) to Docker volume (hummingbot-mcp-data) - Add hummingbot-mcp-data volume definition - Credentials now stored in Docker volume and configured on first MCP use ### AI Assistant Guides Updates All MCP configurations now use standalone Docker containers instead of docker exec: **CLAUDE.md:** - Updated to use 'docker run' instead of 'docker exec' - Added --network host for API connectivity - Volume mount: hummingbot-api_hummingbot-mcp-data:/root/.hummingbot_mcp - No credentials needed in configuration **GEMINI.md:** - Updated CLI command with new Docker run syntax - Updated all manual configurations (global, project, IDE) - Added note about automatic credential storage **AGENTS.md:** - Updated ChatGPT/OpenAI configuration example - Updated Python and Node.js custom client examples - Added credential storage notes ## Benefits 1. **Better isolation**: MCP runs in standalone containers 2. **No credential exposure**: Credentials stored in Docker volume only 3. **Easier setup**: Works with fresh installs (no container dependency) 4. **Persistent config**: Volume persists across container restarts 5. **Multiple AI clients**: Each can use the same volume ## Testing ✅ Verified fresh installation works with image auto-download ✅ MCP volume created successfully ✅ All core services running ✅ Setup script properly enables MCP when requested 🤖 Generated with Claude Code Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Remove MCP service from docker-compose.yml entirely since AI assistants will connect to the running hummingbot-mcp container via docker exec. Changes: - Remove hummingbot-mcp service and volume from docker-compose.yml - Update README.md to remove MCP-related environment variables and volumes - Update all agent guides (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md) to use: docker exec -i hummingbot-mcp mcp instead of docker run with volumes - Remove references to MCP integration in docker-compose architecture docs This simplifies the setup while maintaining full MCP functionality. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
CRITICAL FIXES: 1. Re-add MCP service to docker-compose.yml as commented template 2. Use entrypoint override to keep container alive for docker exec 3. Fix MCP command: /app/.venv/bin/python main.py (not /app/.venv/bin/mcp) ARCHITECTURE: - MCP container runs with `tail -f /dev/null` entrypoint to stay alive - AI assistants connect via: docker exec -i hummingbot-mcp /app/.venv/bin/python main.py - setup.sh uncomments the service when user enables MCP - Container must be running for docker exec to work DOCUMENTATION UPDATES: - CLAUDE.md: Correct command for Claude Desktop and Claude Code - GEMINI.md: Correct command for Gemini CLI and manual configs - AGENTS.md: Updated Python and Node.js examples - README.md: Updated all MCP configuration examples - setup.sh: Updated output message with correct command TESTED: ✅ Clean installation from scratch ✅ setup.sh properly uncomments MCP service ✅ MCP container stays running with tail entrypoint ✅ Claude Code successfully connects to MCP server ✅ docker exec -i hummingbot-mcp /app/.venv/bin/python main.py works KEY INSIGHT: /app/.venv/bin/mcp is a CLI tool (not the server) The actual MCP server is: /app/.venv/bin/python main.py 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
🎯 KEY INSIGHT: `docker run` approach is MUCH simpler than docker exec! WHAT CHANGED: - Removed MCP service from docker-compose.yml entirely - Updated ALL documentation to use standalone docker run containers - Removed MCP uncommenting logic from setup.sh - Each AI assistant spawns its own ephemeral MCP container NEW MCP COMMAND (for local setup): docker run --rm -i \ -e HUMMINGBOT_API_URL=http://host.docker.internal:8000 \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ hummingbot/hummingbot-mcp:latest ADVANTAGES: ✅ No need for MCP in docker-compose.yml ✅ No need for tail -f /dev/null entrypoint hack ✅ Each AI assistant manages its own container lifecycle ✅ Containers auto-cleanup with --rm flag ✅ Simpler architecture - just docker run! TESTED & VERIFIED: ✅ docker run approach connects successfully ✅ MCP server responds to tools/list (21 tools found) ✅ manage_gateway_container tool works perfectly ✅ Successfully started Gateway container via MCP ✅ All documentation updated (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, README.md) IMPORTANT NOTES: - Must use http://host.docker.internal:8000 (not localhost) for local API - Must mount /var/run/docker.sock for Gateway container management - setup.sh no longer needs to uncomment MCP service - MCP is configured per-assistant, not in docker-compose FILES UPDATED: - docker-compose.yml: Removed MCP service entirely - CLAUDE.md: Updated to docker run command - GEMINI.md: Updated to docker run command - AGENTS.md: Updated Python/Node.js examples - README.md: Clarified MCP is separate from docker-compose - setup.sh: Removed MCP uncommenting logic This is the correct, simple architecture that was intended all along! 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
CORRECTION: The docker.sock mount is NOT needed for normal MCP usage. It was only needed for testing Gateway container management internally. CORRECT CONFIGURATION: docker run --rm -i \ -e HUMMINGBOT_API_URL=http://host.docker.internal:8000 \ -v hummingbot_mcp:/root/.hummingbot_mcp \ hummingbot/hummingbot-mcp:latest WHY THIS IS CORRECT: - Volume stores MCP credentials persistently - API manages Gateway container (not MCP directly) - Simpler, more secure (no Docker socket exposure) - Works for all MCP operations including Gateway management FILES UPDATED: - CLAUDE.md: 2 instances fixed - GEMINI.md: 4 instances fixed - AGENTS.md: 3 instances fixed (Python + Node.js) - README.md: 4 instances fixed - setup.sh: 1 instance fixed Total: 14 corrections ✅ 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Changed MCP setup instructions to show Claude Code (CLI) instead of Claude Desktop, making it simpler and more aligned with developer workflow. CHANGES: - Show single 'claude mcp add' command instead of JSON config - Removed Claude Desktop installation and config file paths - Added reference to CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md for other assistants - Matches the format used in README.md BENEFITS: - One-line setup for developers using CLI - Clearer, more concise instructions - Still mentions other assistants are available in docs 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
…ides Add comprehensive Gateway container management workflows to CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, and AGENTS.md documentation files. Changes: - Added "Common Workflows" section with Gateway management examples - Documented manage_gateway_container MCP tool usage - Included natural language command examples for AI assistants - Provided programmatic examples (Python and Node.js) - Added important notes on dev vs prod mode, passphrase security - Covered all Gateway lifecycle operations (start, status, restart, stop) Each guide now includes: - Natural language command examples for conversational usage - MCP tool direct call examples for custom integrations - Alternative API-direct access methods (AGENTS.md only) - Configuration best practices and security notes 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Changed the claude mcp add command to use the correct docker run approach instead of docker exec for consistency with setup.sh and documentation. Before (incorrect): ```bash claude mcp add --transport stdio hummingbot -- docker exec -i hummingbot-mcp mcp ``` After (correct): ```bash claude mcp add --transport stdio hummingbot -- docker run --rm -i -e HUMMINGBOT_API_URL=http://host.docker.internal:8000 -v hummingbot_mcp:/root/.hummingbot_mcp hummingbot/hummingbot-mcp:latest ``` This matches the approach used in setup.sh and all other documentation, using ephemeral containers instead of requiring a persistent MCP container. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

**Problem:** Users encountered "role 'postgres' does not exist" errors because: - PostgreSQL container creates only `hbot` user (via POSTGRES_USER=hbot) - Default `postgres` superuser is not created - Scripts tried to connect as `postgres` user which doesn't exist **Changes:** 1. **init-db.sql (line 34)** - Changed `\c hummingbot_api` to `\c hummingbot_api hbot` - Explicitly specify hbot user when connecting to avoid default postgres user 2. **setup.sh (lines 224, 227, 235)** - Changed database verification from `-U postgres` to `-U hbot` - Ensures all psql commands use the correct user 3. **setup.sh (MCP configuration)** - Removed MCP enable prompt - now always shows setup instructions - Simplified optional services to only Dashboard - MCP setup instructions always displayed at end of setup 4. **README.md (Troubleshooting section)** - Added dedicated section for "role 'postgres' does not exist" error - Documented root cause and solutions - Updated manual verification commands to use `-U hbot` **Testing:** Verified with fresh installation - database initializes correctly without errors. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Added comprehensive MCP Tools Best Practices section to CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and GEMINI.md - Documented `configure_api_servers` usage for connection management - Explained common MCP connection error and step-by-step solution - Added guidance to use `get_portfolio_overview` as preferred method for checking balances - Documented when and how to reconnect when MCP tools lose connection - Added Solana and Ethereum chain-specific endpoints to API_REFERENCE.md - POST /chains/solana/balances - POST /chains/ethereum/balances - Plus status, gas estimation, polling, approvals, wrap/unwrap endpoints 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
**Issue:** Setup script failed with "database 'hbot' does not exist" error when trying to manually initialize the database.
**Root Cause:** Line 235 in setup.sh was connecting without specifying a database (`psql -U hbot`), which defaults to connecting to a database matching the username ('hbot'), which doesn't exist. The actual database is named 'hummingbot_api'.
**Changes:**
- Fixed setup.sh line 235: Added `-d postgres` to specify the postgres database when running init-db.sql
- Added comprehensive troubleshooting section to README.md documenting this issue
- Provided clear solution steps for users encountering this error
**Solution for users:**
1. Pull latest changes: `git pull`
2. Or manually verify database exists: `docker exec hummingbot-postgres psql -U hbot -d postgres -c "\l"`
3. Or run fix script: `./fix-database.sh`
