MCP-Coinglass

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the CoinGlass API (v4). It lets MCP-compatible clients (AI assistants, IDE extensions, or custom apps) access futures market analytics such as Open Interest, Liquidations, Long/Short Ratio, and Funding Rates.

Features (MCP Tools)

The server exposes the following tools that MCP clients can call:

• COINGLASS_OPEN_INTEREST: Open interest exchange list for a symbol; optional history

  • Parameters: symbol (string), exchange? (string), includeHistory? (boolean), period? ("1h" | "4h" | "12h" | "24h")

• COINGLASS_LIQUIDATIONS_PAIR: Historical pair liquidations (v4 /api/futures/liquidation/history)

  • Parameters: exchange (string), symbol (string), interval? ("1m"|"3m"|"5m"|"15m"|"30m"|"1h"|"4h"|"6h"|"8h"|"12h"|"1d"|"1w"), limit?, start_time?, end_time?, prettyFormat? (default: true)

• COINGLASS_LIQUIDATIONS_COIN: Aggregated coin liquidations (v4 /api/futures/liquidation/aggregated-history)

  • Parameters: exchange_list (string), symbol (string), interval? (same as above), limit?, start_time?, end_time?, prettyFormat? (default: true)

• COINGLASS_LONG_SHORT_RATIO: Global account long/short ratio snapshot

  • Parameters: symbol (string), exchange? (string), period? ("1h" | "4h" | "12h" | "24h"), prettyFormat? (boolean, default: true)

• COINGLASS_FUNDING_RATE: Current funding rate across exchanges

  • Parameters: symbol (string), exchange? (string), prettyFormat? (boolean, default: true)

• COINGLASS_HYPERLIQUID_WHALE_ALERT: Real-time Hyperliquid whale alerts (>$1M)

• Parameters: prettyFormat? (boolean, default: true)

• COINGLASS_HYPERLIQUID_WHALE_POSITION: Real-time Hyperliquid whale positions (>$1M)

• Parameters: prettyFormat? (boolean, default: true)

Tool call responses always return a success code even in case of api errors. In case of error tool response includes the raw api response.

Prerequisites

• Node.js v20+ (CI uses Node 22)

• pnpm (https://pnpm.io/installation)

Installation

There are a few ways to run mcp-coinglass:

1. Using pnpm dlx (recommended for most MCP client setups)

Run the published package directly without a global install. See the MCP client config example below.

2. Global installation from npm (via pnpm)

pnpm add -g mcp-coinglass

3. Building from source (development)

pnpm install
pnpm run build
pnpm run start

4. For testing and development purposes use mcp inspector

# in the project root run,
pnpm run build
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js

Configuration (Environment Variables)

This server requires a CoinGlass API key. All CoinGlass v4 endpoints require the CG-API-KEY header. Generate your API key from your account dashboard and supply it via environment variables. References:

• Authentication docs: https://docs.coinglass.com/reference/authentication

• Account/API key dashboard: https://www.coinglass.com/account

Create a .env file (or configure env in your MCP client) with:

COINGLASS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

An .env.sample file is included as a reference; copy it to .env and fill in your key.

NOTE: All the available tools require an upgraded coinglass api plan to work

Running the Server with an MCP Client

MCP clients (assistants, IDE extensions) run this server as a background process. Configure your client with a server entry similar to the following.

Using pnpm dlx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coinglass-mcp-server": {
      "command": "pnpm",
      "args": ["dlx", "mcp-coinglass"],
      "env": {
        "COINGLASS_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

If globally installed (pnpm add -g mcp-coinglass):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coinglass-mcp-server": {
      "command": "mcp-coinglass",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "COINGLASS_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Example Tool Invocations

MCP clients pass JSON parameters to tools. Examples:

{ "tool": "COINGLASS_OPEN_INTEREST", "params": { "symbol": "BTC", "includeHistory": true, "period": "24h" } }

{ "tool": "COINGLASS_LIQUIDATIONS", "params": { "symbol": "BTCUSDT", "timeframe": "4h" } }

{ "tool": "COINGLASS_LONG_SHORT_RATIO", "params": { "symbol": "ETH", "period": "1h" } }

{ "tool": "COINGLASS_FUNDING_RATE", "params": { "symbol": "SOL" } }

{ "tool": "COINGLASS_HYPERLIQUID_WHALE_ALERT", "params": {} }

{ "tool": "COINGLASS_HYPERLIQUID_WHALE_POSITION", "params": {} }
