CCXT is an open-source library that provides a unified API for interacting with over 100 cryptocurrency exchanges, normalizing differences in their individual APIs.

Can I trade on multiple exchanges through this single MCP server?

Yes. Since it wraps CCXT, the server can connect to any exchange supported by the CCXT library, allowing multi-exchange workflows from one interface.

Do I need separate API keys for each exchange?

Yes. Each exchange requires its own API credentials, which must be configured in the MCP server settings for every exchange you want to access.

CCXT MCP (pcriadoperez)

CCXT MCP by pcriadoperez is an MCP server that wraps the CCXT (CryptoCurrency eXchange Trading) library, providing structured tool access to multiple cryptocurrency exchanges through a single MCP interface. CCXT normalizes the API differences across exchanges, and this server exposes that unified interface as MCP tools for AI agents and compatible clients.

The primary advantage of a CCXT-based MCP server is exchange portability. Rather than needing separate MCP servers for each exchange, this server can connect to any of the 100+ exchanges supported by CCXT. It provides tools for common operations including market data retrieval, order book queries, trade execution, and account balance checks, all using a consistent interface regardless of the underlying exchange.

Configuration involves specifying which exchanges to connect to along with their respective API credentials. The CCXT library handles the translation between the normalized API and each exchange’s specific endpoints. Users should verify the behavior on each target exchange individually, as exchange-specific features and limitations may affect tool behavior. Standard precautions apply — start with data-only operations, enforce human confirmation for trades, and apply position sizing limits.
