How many exchanges does this server support?

Through the CCXT library, it can potentially connect to over 100 cryptocurrency exchanges, though specific support depends on the implementation's configuration.

Is the data format consistent across exchanges?

Yes. CCXT normalizes exchange responses into a unified format, so market data and trading operations use the same structure regardless of the exchange.

Can I use this for both centralized and decentralized exchanges?

CCXT primarily supports centralized exchanges. For decentralized exchange access, dedicated MCP servers for specific DEX protocols are typically more appropriate.

CCXT MCP (lazy-dinosaur)

CCXT MCP by lazy-dinosaur is an MCP server that leverages the CCXT library to provide access to over 100 cryptocurrency exchanges through the Model Context Protocol. It acts as a universal adapter, translating MCP tool calls into exchange-specific API requests using CCXT’s unified interface layer.

The server enables agents to perform market data queries, account operations, and trading actions across a wide range of exchanges without needing exchange-specific integration code. This makes it useful for workflows that involve cross-exchange price comparison, arbitrage analysis, or portfolio management across multiple platforms. The CCXT layer handles API normalization, so agents work with consistent data structures regardless of which exchange is being queried.

Setup requires configuring the server with API credentials for each exchange you plan to use. Since the server can interact with many exchanges, it is important to follow the principle of least privilege — only configure credentials for exchanges you actively need, and use read-only API keys where possible. Enable trading permissions only after verifying data operations work correctly, and always enforce human confirmation and risk controls before live order execution.
