### Description (declared)

# mcp-ccxt

Open-source MCP Server for Crypto Exchanges via CCXT.

Connect AI agents (Claude, Cursor, CrewAI, LangChain) to 100+ crypto exchanges through the Model Context Protocol.

## Features

- **13 tools**: market data, trading, account management
- **100+ exchanges**: Binance, OKX, Bybit, Coinbase, Kraken, and more via [CCXT](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt)
- **2 transports**: stdio (local) and Streamable HTTP (remote/Docker)
- **Async only**: built on `ccxt.async_support` for performance
- **Safe by default**: sandbox mode on, rate limiting built-in, no credential leaks

## Quickstart (< 5 minutes)

### 1. Install

```bash
pip install mcp-ccxt
```

### 2. Configure

Create `config.json`:

```json
{
  "accounts": [
    {
      "name": "binance-test",
      "exchange_id": "binance",
      "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
      "secret": "YOUR_SECRET",
      "sandbox": true,
      "default_type": "spot"
    }
  ]
}
```

### 3. Test connectivity

```bash
mcp-ccxt test-sandbox --config config.json
# [OK] binance-test: connected (BTC/USDT = 50000.0)
```

### 4. Run server

**stdio** (Claude Desktop / Cursor):

```bash
mcp-ccxt run --config config.json
```

**Streamable HTTP** (remote / Docker):

```bash
mcp-ccxt run --config config.json --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
```

### Claude Desktop setup

Add to Claude Desktop config (`claude_desktop_config.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ccxt": {
      "command": "mcp-ccxt",
      "args": ["run", "--config", "/path/to/config.json"]
    }
  }
}
```

See also `examples/claude_desktop_config.json`.

### Cursor setup

Add to Cursor MCP settings:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ccxt": {
      "command": "mcp-ccxt",
      "args": ["run", "--config", "/path/to/config.json"]
    }
  }
}
```

See also `examples/cursor_config.json`.

### Docker (remote deployment)
