MCP server for DeFi vault risk analytics — search vaults, compare risks, analyze protocols using the Vector Risk Framework
Philidor MCP MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Philidor MCP directly instead of describing what you should do. MCP server for DeFi vault risk analytics — search vaults, compare risks, analyze protocols using the Vector Risk Framework.
Search 700+ DeFi vaults across Morpho, Aave, Yearn, Beefy, and Spark. Compare risk scores, analyze protocols, run due diligence — all through natural language.
Once Philidor MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this serverWindsurf — The Windsurf tool exposed by this serversearch_vaults — Search and filter DeFi vaults by chain, protocol, asset, risk tier, TVL, and moreget_vault — Get detailed information about a specific vault including risk breakdown, recent events, and historical snapshots. Lookup by id or by network +get_vault_risk_breakdown — Detailed breakdown of a vault's three risk vectors with sub-metrics: asset quality, platform code maturity, and governance controls. Returnscompare_vaults — Side-by-side comparison of 2–3 vaults on TVL, APR, risk score, risk tier, and audit statusfind_safest_vaults — Find the top 10 audited, high-confidence vaults sorted by risk scoreget_protocol_info — Protocol details including TVL, vault count, versions, auditors, bug bounties, and security incidentsget_curator_info — Curator details including managed vaults, TVL, chain distribution, and performance metricsget_market_overview — High-level DeFi vault market statistics: total TVL, vault count, risk distribution, and TVL by protocol. No parameters requiredexplain_risk_score — Explain what a specific risk score means, including the tier, calculation method, and thresholdslist_vaults_with_incidents — List all vaults that had a recent critical incident (last 365 days). Sorted by TVL descending, then by recency. No parameters requiredYou will need one environment variable: PHILIDOR_API_URL. 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.
Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
Among the developer tooling 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. Philidor MCP's toolset — Cursor, Windsurf, search_vaults and 9 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by philidor-labs; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
