FAQ from CCXT MCP Server

How do I configure exchange accounts?

You can include account credentials directly in the Claude Desktop settings JSON or use a separate config file specified with the --config flag. Accounts require an array with name, exchangeId, apiKey, secret, and optional defaultType.

What authentication is needed for HTTP+SSE mode?

When running with --sse, set mcpBearerToken in the config file. Clients must send the header Authorization: Bearer <mcpBearerToken> on requests.

Can it be used without Claude Desktop?

Yes. The server can run standalone via command line or Docker. It exposes MCP endpoints over stdio or HTTP+SSE, compatible with any MCP client.

What exchanges are supported?

Any exchange supported by the CCXT library (over 100), including Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, and more. Exchange IDs correspond to CCXT identifiers.

Are there any known limitations?

AI models may confuse futures and spot trading. Using the recommended prompt helps clarify trading intentions. The server itself does not handle authentication storage beyond the config file.
