Deribit MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that turns Claude Opus into a fully autonomous derivatives trader on Deribit — live tickers, OHLCV candles, order books, options Greeks, funding rates, account state — paired with. Exposed over MCP by the deribit mcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

• Deribit — The Deribit tool exposed by this server
• Notifications — Telegram for the human user, outbox for the agent wakeup pipeline:
• Market — The Market tool exposed by this server

Configuration

You will need 8 environment variables: DERIBIT_EVENT_ADMIN_TOKEN, DERIBIT_API_KEY, TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, CHAT_ID, MCP_SHARED_SECRET, DERIBIT_API_SECRET, DERIBIT_DB_PATH, TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID. 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.

Adding it to your client

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

When to reach for it

Among the team communication options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Deribit MCP's toolset — Deribit, Notifications, Market — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by schroejahr2; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Deribit MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Caveats

• 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 deribit mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
