Tether Wallet Development Kit lets AI agents manage self-custodial wallets securely Check balances, history, and prepare payments with CLI or MCP in beta

Tether has expanded its Wallet Development Kit with tools that let AI agents interact with a selfcustodial wallet through a commandline interface and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The setup uses one local wallet daemon that can be managed either by a person in the terminal or by compatible AI software. According to the article, this allows an agent to check balances, view transaction history, and prepare wallet actions without relying on a custodial account. The company is aiming this technology at agentic payments, where software can move funds or pay for services as part of an automated workflow. The article notes that the wallet tooling is still in beta and that Tether recommends testing with limited funds while developers build the permission and security controls needed for moneymoving agents.
