MCP MCP Server

Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. MCP MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. High-performance CCXT MCP server for cryptocurrency exchange integration.

The short version

High-performance cryptocurrency exchange integration using MCP (Model Context Protocol) and CCXT.

• 🚀 Exchange Support: Connects to 20+ cryptocurrency exchanges
• 🔃 Market Types: Supports spot, futures, swap markets and more
• 🔧 Proxy Configuration: Options for accessing exchanges through proxies
• 📊 Fast & Reliable: Optimized caching and rate limiting
• 🌐 MCP Standard: Compatible with LLMs like Claude and GPT via MCP

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:

• list-exchanges — List all available cryptocurrency exchanges
• get-ticker — Get current ticker information for a trading pair
• batch-get-tickers — Get ticker information for multiple trading pairs at once
• get — orderbook / get-order-book: Get market order book for a trading pair
• get-ohlcv — Get OHLCV candlestick data for a trading pair
• get-trades — Get recent trades for a trading pair
• get-markets — Get all available markets for an exchange
• get-exchange-info — Get exchange information and status
• get-leverage-tiers — Get futures leverage tiers
• get-funding-rates — Get current funding rates
• get-positions — Get open positions information
• get-open-orders — Get all open orders

Getting it running

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 it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: BINANCE_API_KEY, BINANCE_SECRET, KUCOIN_API_KEY, KUCOIN_SECRET, PROXY_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

How it compares

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. MCP's toolset — list-exchanges, get-ticker, batch-get-tickers and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by shuhaozhang95; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Things to watch

• 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.
• With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch MCP.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
