MCP Setup

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants call external tools. ProFunding's MCP server gives your AI access to 22 tools for analysis, trading, and monitoring across all supported DEXs.

Ask your AI a question. It calls ProFunding. You get a real answer backed by live data.

Install

Pick your preferred method:

# pipx (recommended, isolated environment)
pipx install profunding-mcp
 
# pip
pip install profunding-mcp
 
# uvx (run without installing)
uvx profunding-mcp

Get your API key

1. Go to profunding.pro/mcp
2. Connect your wallet and sign in
3. Click "Generate API Key"
4. Copy the key. You'll only see it once

The key is free. No rate limits for analysis tools. Trading tools require stored credentials (see Credentials).

Configure Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add ProFunding to the mcpServers section:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "profunding": {
      "command": "profunding-mcp",
      "env": {
        "PROFUNDING_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You should see ProFunding tools available in the tools menu.

Configure Claude Code

Add to your Claude Code MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "profunding": {
      "command": "profunding-mcp",
      "env": {
        "PROFUNDING_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configure Cursor

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP Servers, and add:

{
  "profunding": {
    "command": "profunding-mcp",
    "env": {
      "PROFUNDING_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
    }
  }
}

What you can ask

Once connected, talk to your AI naturally:

• "Find me a delta-neutral trade above 100% APR with good liquidity and low spread risk"
• "Compare ETH funding on Hyperliquid vs Lighter vs Aster. Which combo has the best risk-adjusted return?"
• "Open $2,000 delta-neutral on PROVE, long HL short Aster, use limit+market entry"
• "Backtest SOL on HL/Extended for the last 30 days with $5k position size"
• "Watch my ETH position. Auto-close if funding flips or PnL drops below -$50"
• "What are the momentum movers right now? Any big funding rate jumps in the last 6 hours?"

Not just delta-neutral. You can use MCP for one-sided trades too. Need to open a quick long or short? Just ask.

The AI picks the right tool, calls ProFunding, and gives you a real answer. No clicking through dashboards.
