  --env LOG_LEVEL="info" \
  --env SAFE_MODE="false (set to true to disable all trading operations; read-only access remains available)" \
  --env KRAKEN_SECRET="your_kraken_secret" \
  --env BINANCE_SECRET="your_binance_secret" \
  --env KRAKEN_API_KEY="your_kraken_api_key" \
  --env BINANCE_API_KEY="your_binance_api_key" \

How to use

This MCP server exposes CCXT-powered exchange APIs over Server-Sent Events (SSE). It provides a set of public tools (read-only) for market data and public information, plus private tools when you supply credentials. You can connect via SSE to receive tool results in real-time, or you can send MCP messages to request specific tool executions. Use the provided examples to understand the structure of tool calls, such as get_ticker or batch_get_tickers, or to perform trading operations if SAFE_MODE is disabled and you have valid API keys.

How to install

Prerequisites:

Node.js installed (LTS version)
npm or yarn
Access to exchange API keys if you intend to use private tools

installation steps:

Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/slug/carlosatta-mcp-server-ccxt.git
Install dependencies cd carlosatta-mcp-server-ccxt npm install
Create an environment file or set environment variables as described in the README For example, create a .env with SAFE_MODE=false, HOST=0.0.0.0, PORT=3000, and API keys
Start the server npm start
Verify the server is running by visiting http://0.0.0.0:3000/ or by using the health endpoint

Additional notes

Tips and common issues:

Security: Enable SAFE_MODE in production to disable all trading operations. Use separate API keys for read-only vs trading actions and restrict IPs on keys.
If tools don’t appear, restart the server after code changes and check logs for errors.
Ensure .env (or equivalent environment variables) exists before starting the server to avoid startup failures.
When using private tools, ensure API credentials are correctly configured in the environment.
The server supports multiple exchanges via CCXT; ensure you have credentials for the exchanges you want to access.
