Can I use only public market data without any configuration?

Yes. Public API endpoints (ticker, orderbook, klines, funding rate, open interest, symbols) work out of the box with no credentials.

How does the external MCP aggregation work?

The unified server can launch external exchange MCP implementations (e.g., official Bybit Trading MCP) as child processes. Use `get_external_mcp_servers()`, `list_exchange_mcp_tools()`, and `call_exchange_mcp_tool()` to access their tools through a single entrypoint.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `BYBIT_API_KEY`, `BYBIT_API_SECRET`, `BINANCE_API_KEY`, `BINANCE_API_SECRET`, `OKX_API_KEY`, `OKX_API_SECRET`, `OKX_PASSPHRASE` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
