Funding Rates MCP

An MCP server that provides real-time funding rate data across major crypto exchanges, enabling agents to detect arbitrage opportunities.

Features

• Real-Time Funding Rates: Fetches current funding across Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, Gate and CoinEx.
• Pivoted Table Output: Displays symbols as rows, exchanges as columns, and includes a Divergence column for max funding rate difference.
• Claude Desktop Integration: Runs as an MCP server for interactive queries.

• uv for dependency management
• Claude Desktop (optional, for interactive queries)
• Git

      • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
      • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
   2. Add the MCP server:
      hljs language-json

      Copy

      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "funding-rates-mcp": {

Usage

Tools

The server provides the following MCP tool for querying funding rates:

• compare_funding_rates:
  • Description: Compares current funding rates for multiple symbols across specified exchanges, returning a pivoted Markdown table with a Divergence column showing the maximum funding rate difference for each symbol.
  • Parameters:
    • symbols (List[str]): List of trading pairs (e.g., ["BTC/USDT:USDT", "ETH/USDT:USDT"]). Required.
    • exchanges (List[str], optional): List of exchanges to compare (e.g., ["binance", "okx"]). Defaults to all supported exchanges (binance, okx, bybit, bitget, gate, coinex).
    • params (Dict, optional): Additional parameters for the API call. Defaults to {}.
  • Returns: A Markdown table with symbols as rows, exchanges as columns, funding rates as values (formatted as percentages), and a Divergence column.
  • Example: See the Examples section below.

Prompts

The server includes the following MCP prompt for generating natural language queries:

• compare_funding_rates_prompt:
  • Description: Generates a natural language prompt for comparing funding rates across all supported exchanges, suitable for Claude Desktop input.
  • Parameters:
    • symbols (List[str]): List of trading pairs (e.g., ["BTC/USDT:USDT", "ETH/USDT:USDT"]). Required.
  • Returns: A string prompt (e.g., "Compare the funding rates for BTC/USDT:USDT, ETH/USDT:USDT across binance, okx, bybit, bitget, gate, coinex.").
  • Usage: Used internally by Claude Desktop to interpret user queries or for testing in MCP Inspector.
