What can you do with this server?

The Poloniex MCP server lets you query market data and account information from the Poloniex spot exchange. It is read-only and never places or cancels trades. * get_ticker — Fetch 24-hour ticker data (last price, high, low, volume) for any spot trading pair (e.g., BTC_USDT). No credentials required. * get_orderbook — Retrieve order book depth (bids and asks) with optional limit on price levels (up to 150 per side) and price aggregation scale. No credentials required. * get_balances — Access authenticated account balances, optionally filtered by account type (e.g., SPOT or FUTURES). Requires API key and secret. * (not in schema but noted in README) get_open_orders — View active/open orders with optional filters. Requires API key and secret.

How do I use Poloniex MCP?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Poloniex MCP what's the current BTC_USDT ticker?" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

TypeScript

Local

poloniex-mcp

A local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the Poloniex spot exchange to any MCP client (e.g. Claude Desktop). Built in TypeScript on the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk high-level McpServer API, communicating over stdio.

Tools

All 35 tools are read-only (GET endpoints) — this server never places, modifies, or cancels orders. Paths and parameters are validated against the official Poloniex Python and Java SDKs and the REST docs.

Public tools need no credentials; authenticated tools require a Poloniex API key and secret (see Credentials).

Install & build

npm install
npm run build

Scripts

Script	Purpose
`npm run build`	Compile TypeScript to `dist/`.
`npm start`	Run the compiled server (`dist/index.js`).
`npm run dev`	Run the server from source via `tsx`.
`npm test`	Run the Vitest suite.
`npm run test:coverage`	Run tests with a coverage report.
`npm run typecheck`	Type-check without emitting.
`npm run format`	Format the codebase with Prettier.

Credentials

The public market- and reference-data tools need no credentials. For the authenticated tools (account, wallets, orders, smart orders, margin, and subaccounts), set your Poloniex API key and secret:

POLONIEX_API_KEY
POLONIEX_API_SECRET

Optional overrides: POLONIEX_BASE_URL (default https://api.poloniex.com), POLONIEX_TIMEOUT_MS (default 10000). Copy .env.example to .env for local development.

Requests are signed with HMAC-SHA256 (base64), per the Poloniex api.poloniex.com REST specification, using the key / signature / signTimestamp headers.

Security: never commit your API key/secret. Keep them in the MCP client's env block (below) or a git-ignored .env. A read-only API key is recommended since this server never places trades.

Use with Claude Desktop

Build first (npm run build), then add the following to claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json) and restart Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "poloniex": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/poloniex-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "POLONIEX_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
        "POLONIEX_API_SECRET": "your-api-secret-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Omit the env block if you only want the public tools.

Versioning

This project follows Semantic Versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH), starting at 0.1.0. While on 0.x, the API is considered unstable and minor versions may include breaking changes.

PATCH — backwards-compatible bug fixes.
MINOR — backwards-compatible functionality (e.g. a new tool).
MAJOR — incompatible changes (reserved for 1.0.0 and beyond).

Record every change in CHANGELOG.md under [Unreleased], then on release bump the version with npm version <patch|minor|major> (which updates package.json and creates a vX.Y.Z git tag) and move the notes under the new version heading.
