mcp-paradex 0.2.0

MCP server for Paradex trading platform integration

MCP Paradex Server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for the Paradex trading platform.

Quickstart

New here? See the Quickstart Guide for step-by-step setup instructions for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Claude.ai web, and ChatGPT.

Need a remote HTTP endpoint for ChatGPT or Claude.ai web? See the HTTP Deployment Guide for Railway, Render, Fly.io, AWS Lambda, and Docker/VPS options.

Overview

This project provides a bridge between AI assistants (like Claude) and the Paradex perpetual futures trading platform. Using the MCP standard, AI assistants can:

• Retrieve market data from Paradex
• Manage trading accounts and vaults
• Place and manage orders
• Monitor positions and balance

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+

Installation

Quick Start

Cursor IDE

Click to automatically configure this MCP server in Cursor:

Claude Code CLI

claude mcp add paradex uvx mcp-paradex

Smithery (Claude Desktop)

npx -y @smithery/cli@latest mcp add @tradeparadex/mcp-paradex-py --client claude

Standard Installation

PyPI

pip install mcp-paradex

uvx (Recommended)

uvx mcp-paradex

Development Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/tradeparadex/mcp-paradex-py.git
   cd mcp-paradex-py
   

2. Install development dependencies:

   uv sync --dev --all-extras
   

3. Run locally:

   uv run mcp-paradex
   

Configuration

Environment Variables

Set these environment variables for authentication:

• PARADEX_ENVIRONMENT: Set to prod, testnet, or nightly (default: prod)
• PARADEX_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY: Your Paradex account private key

Using .env File

cp .env.template .env
# Edit .env with your credentials

Client Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paradex": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-paradex"],
      "env": {
        "PARADEX_ENVIRONMENT": "testnet",
        "PARADEX_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker (local / stdio)

# Build image
docker build . -t tradeparadex/mcp-paradex-py

# Run (public only)
docker run --rm -i tradeparadex/mcp-paradex-py

# Run with trading capabilities
docker run --rm -e PARADEX_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY=your_key -i tradeparadex/mcp-paradex-py

Docker (AWS Lambda / HTTP)

Use Dockerfile.aws for remote deployments via AWS Lambda with the Lambda Web Adapter. The adapter bridges Lambda invocations to the server's HTTP endpoint, so no Lambda-specific code is needed.

# Build
docker build -f Dockerfile.aws -t tradeparadex/mcp-paradex-py-aws .

# Test locally (mirrors Lambda config)
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 \
  -e MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http \
  -e MCP_STATELESS=true \
  -e MCP_PORT=8080 \
  -e PARADEX_ENVIRONMENT=prod \
  tradeparadex/mcp-paradex-py-aws

The server will be available at http://localhost:8080/mcp.

Deploying to Lambda:

1. Push the image to ECR
2. Create a Lambda function from the container image
3. Set the Lambda Function URL invoke mode to RESPONSE_STREAM
4. Set environment variables on the Lambda function:
   • MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http
   • MCP_STATELESS=true
   • PARADEX_ENVIRONMENT=prod (or testnet)
   • PARADEX_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY=your_key (optional, for trading)
