Bithumb MCP is an MCP server for the Bithumb cryptocurrency exchange, one of the largest digital asset trading platforms in South Korea. It provides structured MCP tool access for querying market data and performing trading operations on Bithumb, enabling AI agents to interact with the exchange through typed interfaces via the Model Context Protocol.

The server exposes Bithumb API functionality including market data retrieval for KRW-denominated trading pairs, account balance queries, and order management. Bithumb is known for its significant trading volume in the Korean market, and this MCP server makes that liquidity accessible to MCP-compatible agent workflows. The KRW denomination of trading pairs is a notable characteristic for users more accustomed to USD-denominated markets.

Configuration requires Bithumb API credentials set up in the MCP server settings. Note that Bithumb operates under Korean financial regulations, which may affect account creation and API access requirements. After configuring the server, verify data operations first to confirm connectivity and correct data formatting, particularly for KRW-denominated values. Apply standard trading safeguards including human confirmation for order execution and position size limits before enabling live trading through the server.
