Hyperliquid MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive tools for interacting with the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange. This server enables AI assistants to perform trading operations, manage accounts, and retrieve market data through a standardized interface.

🚀 Features

• Account Management - Positions, balances, transfers, and leverage control

• Order Management - Place, cancel, modify orders with advanced features

• Market Data - Real-time prices, orderbooks, candles, and funding rates

• Multiple Transports - stdio, HTTP (Streamable HTTP), and SSE support

• Risk Management - Comprehensive validation and error handling

• Type Safety - Full Pydantic validation for all inputs

• Error Handling - Comprehensive error reporting and logging

📦 Installation

Using uvx (Recommended)

# Run with stdio (default)
uvx hyperliquid-mcp

# Run with HTTP transport
uvx hyperliquid-mcp --transport http --port 3000

# Run with SSE transport
uvx hyperliquid-mcp --transport sse --port 3000

Using uv

uv add hyperliquid-mcp
uv run hyperliquid-mcp

Using pip

pip install hyperliquid-mcp
hyperliquid-mcp

CLI Options

hyperliquid-mcp [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --transport, -t {stdio,http,sse}  Transport type (default: stdio)
  --host HOST                       Host to bind to (default: localhost)
  --port, -p PORT                   Port to listen on (default: 3000)
  --log-level, -l {debug,info,warn,error}  Log level (default: info)
  --version, -v                     Show version and exit

⚙️ Configuration

Environment Variables

Configure the following environment variables:

# Required for trading operations
export HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY="your_private_key_here"

# Optional: Specify a different user address for queries (defaults to wallet address)
export HYPERLIQUID_USER_ADDRESS="0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890"

# Optional: Use testnet instead of mainnet (default: false)
export HYPERLIQUID_TESTNET="true"

# Optional: Show detailed logs for debugging (default: false)
export HYPERLIQUID_MCP_SHOW_LOGS="false"

⚠️ Security Warning: Never share your private key. The server will warn if the key is missing but will still start in read-only mode for market data.

Environment Variable Details

• HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY (Required for trading): Your wallet's private key for signing transactions

• HYPERLIQUID_USER_ADDRESS (Optional): Ethereum address to query data for. If not set, uses the address derived from your private key

• HYPERLIQUID_TESTNET (Optional): Set to "true" to use Hyperliquid's testnet for development and testing

• HYPERLIQUID_MCP_SHOW_LOGS (Optional): Set to "true" to enable detailed logging for debugging and development

👤 User Address Configuration

The server supports querying data for different users:

• Default behavior: Uses the address derived from your HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY

• Custom user: Set HYPERLIQUID_USER_ADDRESS to query a different address

• Tool-level override: Many tools accept a user parameter to query specific addresses

Use cases:

• Monitor multiple accounts from one server instance

• Query public data for other traders (positions, fills, etc.)

• Portfolio management for multiple wallets

• Analytics and research on other users' trading activity

🧪 Testnet Configuration

For development and testing, you can use Hyperliquid's testnet:

1. Enable testnet mode by setting HYPERLIQUID_TESTNET=true

2. Get testnet tokens from the Hyperliquid testnet faucet

3. Use testnet-specific addresses - testnet has separate contracts and addresses

4. Test safely - All trades execute on testnet without real financial risk

💡 Tip: Always test your trading strategies on testnet before using real funds on mainnet.

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hyperliquid": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--no-progress","hyperliquid-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key_here",
        "HYPERLIQUID_USER_ADDRESS": "0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890",
        "HYPERLIQUID_TESTNET": "false",
        "HYPERLIQUID_MCP_SHOW_LOGS": "false"
      },
      "transport": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

Alternative Configurations

Using uv directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hyperliquid": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--with", "hyperliquid-mcp", "hyperliquid-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key_here",
        "HYPERLIQUID_USER_ADDRESS": "0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890",
        "HYPERLIQUID_TESTNET": "false",
        "HYPERLIQUID_MCP_SHOW_LOGS": "false"
      },
      "transport": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

HTTP transport (for remote/multi-client setups):

⚠️ Note: Environment variables (HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY, etc.) must be exported in the shell where the server is started — they are not passed via the client config like with stdio.

# 1. Export env vars in your terminal
export HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY="your_private_key_here"
export HYPERLIQUID_TESTNET="false"

# 2. Start the server
hyperliquid-mcp --transport http --port 3000

Then configure your MCP client to connect:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hyperliquid": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Local development:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hyperliquid": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "hyperliquid-mcp"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/hyperliquid-mcp",
      "env": {
        "HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key_here",
        "HYPERLIQUID_USER_ADDRESS": "0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890",
        "HYPERLIQUID_TESTNET": "true",
        "HYPERLIQUID_MCP_SHOW_LOGS": "true"
      },
      "transport": "stdio"
    }
  }
}
