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.
