perpwatch

A forwarding client for the MarketTrace perpetual-futures microstructure feed. perpwatch exposes the feed's eleven read-only tools as a stdio MCP server (and a small CLI): it validates each call locally — including the nine-symbol universe (BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, DOGE, HYPE, ZEC, ENA, case-insensitive with an optional USDT suffix) — and proxies the call to the hosted endpoint, which aggregates Binance, Bybit, OKX and Hyperliquid.

Tools, by the question they answer:

• Market context — get_market_state (one normalized snapshot: funding + percentile, OI, volume, CVD, book imbalance, liquidation pressure, basis), get_funding_percentile

• History and base rates — get_conditional_outcomes (measured forward returns after a stated condition; history_silent when the evidence is too thin), get_state_history (15-minute state archive series), get_ohlcv (consolidated candles)

• Flow and footprint — get_liquidations_recent, get_volume_profile (POC / value area / naked POCs), get_big_trades, get_footprint_events (absorbed / pulled book walls), get_stacked_imbalances

• help — the tool guide, served locally with no credentials: tools grouped by question, example calls, scales, and limits.

Auth

The hosted endpoint uses OAuth sign-in (browser → email magic link). Complete that sign-in and export the resulting bearer:

export MARKETTRACE_BEARER="<bearer from the hosted sign-in>"

Without it, data calls fail with an error naming MARKETTRACE_BEARER and the sign-in — no data is fabricated. The endpoint defaults to https://api.markettrace.ai/mcp; override it with MARKETTRACE_MCP_URL. Market data is informational only, not financial advice.
