# MCP Server for DefiLlama
This repository contains a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Claude with access to DeFi data via the DefiLlama API. The server enables Claude to perform operations like retrieving protocol TVL data, chain TVL data, token prices, and stablecoin information.
## Overview
The MCP server exposes the following tools to Claude:
### Protocol Data
- `defillama_get_protocols`: List all protocols tracked by DefiLlama
- `defillama_get_protocol_tvl`: Get TVL data for a specific protocol
### Chain Data
- `defillama_get_chain_tvl`: Get TVL data for a specific chain
### Token Data
- `defillama_get_token_prices`: Get current prices of tokens
- `defillama_get_historical_prices`: Get historical prices of tokens
### Stablecoin Data
- `defillama_get_stablecoins`: List all stablecoins tracked by DefiLlama
- `defillama_get_stablecoin_data`: Get data for a specific stablecoin
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v16 or higher)
## Running the server
### Option 1: Using npx (Recommended)
```npx @mcp-dockmaster/mcp-server-defillama```
You can run the MCP server directly without installation using npx:
This will download and execute the server directly from npm.
### Option 2: Manual Installation
Clone this repository:
```git clone https://github.com/mcp-dockmaster/mcp-server-defillama.git```
Install dependencies:
```npm install```
Build the project:
```npm run build```
## Claude Usage
To configure Claude Desktop to use this MCP server:
Open Claude Desktop, and navigate to Settings>Developer Settings>MCP Servers. There you'll encounter the button to open the configuration JSON file.
Add the MCP server configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-defillama": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@mcp-dockmaster/mcp-server-defillama"
]
}
}
}
```
Alternatively, if you installed the package locally:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-defillama": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/your/mcp-server-defillama/build/index.js"
]
}
}
}
```
TDQS
B3.3/5.0
Scored across 7 tools
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct data type (protocols, protocol TVL, chain TVL, token prices, historical prices, stablecoins, stablecoin data). There is no overlap that would confuse an agent selecting a tool.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tools follow the exact same verb_noun pattern: defillama_get_<entity>. Naming is uniformly snake_case and descriptive.
Tool Count5/5
With 7 tools, the server is well-scoped for a read-only DeFi data API. Each tool covers a core data category without unnecessary bloat.
Completeness4/5
The toolset covers the main DefiLlama data categories: protocols, chains, tokens, and stablecoins. Minor gaps exist such as lack of historical TVL or yield/fee data, but the core read operations are present.
