Security Notice

CRITICAL — read-write server capable of executing real crypto trades across 100+ exchanges. Each exchange connection requires separate API keys — use exchange-specific restricted keys with trading permissions only, never withdrawal permissions. Withdrawal access from exchange API keys must be disabled — this is a non-negotiable security requirement for any crypto trading MCP. Community-maintained server — verify the specific GitHub repository is actively maintained before production use. Crypto trading regulations vary by jurisdiction — verify that using automated trading tools on your chosen exchange is permitted in your country. Never store exchange API keys in conversation history or AI memory.

CCXT MCP gives AI agents access to 100+ crypto exchanges through the battle-tested CCXT unified library — real-time prices, order books, historical data, and trade execution across exchanges from one connection. Read-write with real trade execution. Free to install. Critical security requirement: disable withdrawal permissions on all exchange API keys — trading-only permissions only. Advanced complexity — requires understanding of crypto exchange APIs before deploying.

About CCXT MCP

The CCXT MCP server wraps the widely-used CCXT (CryptoCurrency eXchange Trading) library — a unified API covering 100+ crypto exchanges — in an MCP interface, giving AI agents access to real-time prices, historical OHLCV data, order books, funding rates, and trade execution across the crypto market ecosystem. For crypto traders and researchers, CCXT eliminates the complexity of integrating with individual exchange APIs — one connection covers Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, OKX, and 95+ others with a unified interface. The library has been battle-tested in production for years with broad community adoption. The MCP wrapper brings this capability into AI agent workflows. Security is non-negotiable: every exchange API key must have withdrawal permissions disabled — trading-only access — and must be stored in environment variables never in conversation history or AI memory. Crypto trading regulations vary significantly by jurisdiction — verify compliance before deploying.
