Bybit MCP Server
# Bybit MCP Server (Node.js)
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Bybit trading operations, built with Node.js and TypeScript.
## Features
- ✅ **Perfect Authentication** - Uses exact Cloud Functions signature logic
- ✅ **Smart Position Validation** - Automatic validation against Bybit trading rules
- ✅ **Position Mode Detection** - Automatically detects one-way vs hedge mode
- ✅ **16 Trading Tools** - Complete market data, account, and trading operations
- ✅ **Demo Mode Support** - Safe testing environment
## Installation
1. **Build the server:**
```bash
cd /Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node
npm install
npm run build
```
2. **Configure environment:**
- Copy `.env` file with your Bybit API credentials
- Set `DEMO=true` for safe testing
## Claude MCP Integration
### Method 1: Using the startup script (Recommended)
**Step 1:** Ensure your `.env` file exists with your API keys:
```bash
# Check if .env file exists
ls -la /Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node/.env
# If it doesn't exist, create it:
cat > /Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node/.env << EOF
ACCESS_KEY=your_access_key_here
SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here
DEMO=true
EOF
```
**Step 2:** Add to Claude MCP:
```bash
claude mcp add-json bybit-node '{
"type": "stdio",
"command": "/Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node/start-server.sh",
"args": []
}'
```
*The startup script automatically loads API keys from the `.env` file.*
### Method 2: Direct node execution with environment variables
```bash
claude mcp add-json bybit-node '{
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["/Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"ACCESS_KEY": "your_access_key_here",
"SECRET_KEY": "your_secret_key_here",
"DEMO": "true"
}
}'
```
### Method 3: Using working directory (reads .env automatically)
```bash
claude mcp add-json bybit-node '{
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["dist/index.js"],
"cwd": "/Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node",
"env": {
"DEMO": "true"
}
}'
```
*This method uses the existing `.env` file in the working directory.*

## Testing
### Test the MCP server:
```bash
cd /Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node
node test-mcp.js
```
### Test trade execution:
```bash
cd /Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node
node test-order.js
```
## Usage Examples
### Validate order before placing:
```javascript
// Check if $80 worth of ETHUSDT is valid
validate_order_quantity("linear", "ETHUSDT", 80)
// Returns: { validatedQty: "0.02", estimatedCost: "73.18", adjustments: [] }
```
### Place a validated order:
```javascript
// Place market buy order for ETHUSDT
place_order("linear", "ETHUSDT", "Buy", "Market", "0.02", positionIdx="0")
```
### Calculate position size with risk management:
```javascript
// Calculate position size for 2% risk with $1000 balance
calculate_position_size("linear", "ETHUSDT", 1000, 2, 3500, 3600, 10)
// Returns: {
// recommendedQty: "0.57",
// riskAmount: 20,
// positionValue: 2052,
// takeProfitSuggestion: 3800,
// warnings: []
// }
```
### Calculate trailing stop loss with profit protection:
```javascript
// Calculate trailing stop for a long position
calculate_trailing_stop("linear", "ETHUSDT", 3600, 3750, "Buy", 3500, 50)
// Returns: {
// newStopLoss: 3700,
// trailingActivated: true,
// breakevenProtection: true,
// profitProtected: 0,
// recommendations: {
// shouldUpdateStop: true,
// protectionLevel: "breakeven",
// reasoning: "Breakeven protection activated - stop moved to entry price"
// }
// }
```
### Place order with trailing stop loss:
```javascript
// Place market buy order with 50 USDT trailing stop
place_order_with_trailing_stop("linear", "ETHUSDT", "Buy", "Market", "0.02", null, "50")
// Returns: Order placed with automatic trailing stop that follows price movement
```
### Set leverage:
```javascript
// Set 10x leverage for ETHUSDT
set_leverage("linear", "ETHUSDT", "10", "10")
```
### Check positions:
```javascript
// Get all linear positions
get_positions("linear")
```
## Key Improvements Over Python Version
- **✅ No signature errors** - Perfect authentication with Bybit API
- **✅ Smart validation** - Automatic position size and mode validation
- **✅ Better error handling** - Comprehensive error messages and recovery
- **✅ TypeScript support** - Full type safety and IntelliSense
## Troubleshooting
### If Claude MCP fails to start:
1. **Check file permissions:**
```bash
ls -la /Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node/dist/index.js
# Should show: -rwxr-xr-x (executable)
```
2. **Test server directly:**
```bash
cd /Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node
node dist/index.js
# Should show: "Bybit MCP Server (Node.js) running on stdio"
```
3. **Check environment variables:**
```bash
cat /Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node/.env
```
4. **Use the startup script:**
```bash
/Users/rkondis/personalwork/mcp-bybit-node/start-server.sh
```
## Security Notes
- Always use `DEMO=true` for testing
- Never commit API keys to version control
- Use environment variables for sensitive data
- Test thoroughly in demo mode before production use
## Support
The server includes comprehensive logging and error handling. Check the console output for detailed information about any issues.

Scored across 21 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, but some overlap exists. For example, 'place_order' and 'place_order_with_trailing_stop' are clearly related, and 'set_trading_stop' might overlap with trailing stop calculations. However, descriptions help clarify differences, preventing major confusion.
Tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern throughout, such as 'get_orderbook', 'set_leverage', and 'calculate_position_size'. There are no deviations in naming conventions, making the set predictable and readable.
With 21 tools, the count is slightly high but reasonable for a comprehensive trading server. It covers key areas like orders, positions, and risk management without being overly bloated, though it borders on the heavy side.
The tool set provides complete coverage for trading operations, including order placement, cancellation, position management, risk calculations, and account information. No obvious gaps exist; agents can handle full trading workflows without dead ends.
