Crypto Market Data
About
Live crypto market data — price, funding rates, open interest, long/short ratio, order book and candles — across major exchanges, with built-in funding-rate arbitrage comparison.
Explore

- Structured errors with type, message, and supported exchanges
- HTTP mode with tiered rate limits and API key authentication
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Crypto Market DataCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
The hosted HTTP transport is gated — this is what makes it billable. Local
stdio stays open for single-user dev.
- Clients send Authorization: Bearer <api-key>.
- Each key maps to a client_id and a tier; unknown/missing keys get 401.
- Tiers (auth.py → TIERS) set per-minute rate + monthly quota:
| Tier | req/min | monthly quota |
|------|--------:|--------------:|
| free | 10 | 1,000 |
| pro | 120 | 100,000 |
| ultra | 600 | 2,000,000 |
- Over the limit → a clean ToolError (Rate limit exceeded… / Monthly quota), never a crash.

compare_funding is the differentiator: it surfaces funding-rate arbitrage
opportunities (which venue pays the most vs least) in one concurrent call.
Rates are annualized (apr_pct) before comparing — venues fund at different
cadences (Hyperliquid hourly vs 8h elsewhere), so raw rates aren't comparable.

}A read-only Model Context Protocol server that
gives any AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf…) live cryptocurrency market data
across 100+ exchanges via CCXT. No API keys required —
everything uses public endpoints.
Supported exchanges: bybit, binance, okx, hyperliquid, gate, kucoin (add more
CCXT ids in SUPPORTED_EXCHANGES).

Robustness
Built for production, not a demo:
- Retries with exponential backoff on transient network errors (3 attempts).
- Per-request + overall timeouts (10s / 25s) so a hung exchange can't stall a call.
- Capability guards: never calls a method an exchange lacks — returns a clean
error listing which exchanges do support it (see get_capabilities).
- Structured errors ({"error": {type, message, retryable, supported_exchanges}})
instead of crashes — agents always get a parseable response.
- TTL response cache (~660x faster on repeat calls; eases rate limits).
- Input validation and clamped limits on every tool.
- Guaranteed exchange cleanup; logs to stderr only (safe for stdio transport).
