Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function for the 'fetchTicker' tool. It retrieves a public CCXT exchange instance and calls fetchTicker on the specified symbol, returning JSON-formatted data or error.
    async ({ exchangeId, symbol }) => {
      try {
        // 공개 인스턴스 사용
        const exchange = ccxtServer.getPublicExchangeInstance(exchangeId);
        const ticker = await exchange.fetchTicker(symbol);
    
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: JSON.stringify(ticker, null, 2)
            }
          ]
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error fetching ticker: ${(error as Error).message}`
            }
          ],
          isError: true
        };
      }
    }
  • Zod input schema defining parameters for the fetchTicker tool: exchangeId (string) and symbol (string).
    {
      exchangeId: z.string().describe("Exchange ID (e.g., 'binance', 'coinbase')"),
      symbol: z.string().describe("Trading symbol (e.g., 'BTC/USDT')")
    },
  • MCP tool registration for 'fetchTicker' via server.tool() within registerMarketTools function, specifying name, description, schema, and handler.
    server.tool(
      "fetchTicker",
      "Fetch ticker information for a symbol on an exchange",
      {
        exchangeId: z.string().describe("Exchange ID (e.g., 'binance', 'coinbase')"),
        symbol: z.string().describe("Trading symbol (e.g., 'BTC/USDT')")
      },
      async ({ exchangeId, symbol }) => {
        try {
          // 공개 인스턴스 사용
          const exchange = ccxtServer.getPublicExchangeInstance(exchangeId);
          const ticker = await exchange.fetchTicker(symbol);
    
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: JSON.stringify(ticker, null, 2)
              }
            ]
          };
        } catch (error) {
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error fetching ticker: ${(error as Error).message}`
              }
            ],
            isError: true
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • src/server.ts:372-372 (registration)
    Top-level call to registerMarketTools in CcxtMcpServer.registerTools(), which registers the fetchTicker tool.
    registerMarketTools(this.server, this);
  • Helper method on CcxtMcpServer that provides unauthenticated public exchange instances, used by fetchTicker handler.
    getPublicExchangeInstance(
      exchangeId: string,
      marketType: "spot" | "futures" = "spot",
    ): Exchange {
      const instanceKey = `${exchangeId}-${marketType}`;
    
      if (!this.publicExchangeInstances[instanceKey]) {
        if (!ccxt.exchanges.includes(exchangeId)) {
          console.error(
            `Exchange ID '${exchangeId}' not found in ccxt.exchanges for public instance.`,
          );
          throw new Error(`Unsupported exchange for public data: ${exchangeId}`);
        }
    
        const exchangeOptions = {
          options: {
            defaultType: marketType,
          },
        };
    
        try {
          // @ts-ignore - CCXT dynamic instantiation without credentials
          this.publicExchangeInstances[instanceKey] = new ccxt[exchangeId](
            exchangeOptions,
          );
        } catch (error) {
          console.error(
            `Failed to create public CCXT instance for ${exchangeId} (${marketType}):`,
            error,
          );
          throw error; // Re-throw the error after logging
        }
      }
    
      return this.publicExchangeInstances[instanceKey];
    }
