## Security Architecture

This MCP server uses a dual-account architecture for enhanced security:

- **Main Account**: Your primary trading account that holds funds. Used only for read-only operations.
- **API Account**: A separate account used exclusively for signing transactions. Should have minimal or no funds.

This separation means:
1. Your main trading funds are never directly exposed
2. The API account can be easily rotated if compromised
3. You can grant specific permissions to the API account via Hyperliquid's interface

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Required |
|----------|-------------|----------|
| `HYPERLIQUID_MAIN_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS` | Your main trading account address | Yes |
| `HYPERLIQUID_API_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS` | API account address for signing | Yes |
| `HYPERLIQUID_API_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY` | Private key for API account | Yes |
| `HYPERLIQUID_BASE_URL` | Hyperliquid API endpoint | No (defaults to mainnet) |
