Bithumb MCP Server

What is the Bithumb MCP server?
Bithumb MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Bithumb directly instead of describing what you should do. .
What you get
Bithumb MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server. Allows interaction with the Bithumb API to fetch cryptocurrency information and manage transactions.
Setting it up
The server ships on npm as @smithery/cli, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
What the assistant can call
Once Bithumb is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Inputs— - coinCode (string, required): The cryptocurrency symbol (e.g., BTC, ETH)Returns— Ticker information (JSON string)
Configuration and credentials
You will need 4 environment variables: BITHUMB_API_KEY, BITHUMB_SECRET_KEY, YOUR_BITHUMB_API_KEY, YOUR_BITHUMB_SECRET_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Before you rely on it
- It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
- Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
- MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the bithumb mcp server does with a few real requests.
Choosing this one
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Bithumb's toolset — Inputs, Returns — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by zereight; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Bithumb's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
