How do I install the mcp kraken mcp server?

This profile does not contain a verified copy-paste launch configuration. Follow the current project documentation to confirm the runtime, entry point, transport and authentication before registering it in your client.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `KRAKEN_API_KEY`, `KRAKEN_API_SECRET`, `KRAKEN_BASE_URL`, `MCP_KRAKEN_HOST`, `MCP_KRAKEN_PATH` 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.
