Setup

Get a free API key

Most tools (trading, account, find-exit, deep analytics) require an API key. Keys are free at profunding.pro — sign up takes seconds, no credit card. Market-data and backtest tools work without a key.

Claude Code

With a key (recommended — unlocks the full toolset):

claude mcp add profunding profunding-mcp -e PROFUNDING_API_KEY=pfk_your_key_here

Without a key (market-data tools only):

claude mcp add profunding profunding-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "profunding": {
      "command": "profunding-mcp",
      "env": {
        "PROFUNDING_API_KEY": "pfk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
PROFUNDING_API_KEY	For most tools	Free key from profunding.pro. Trading, account, find-exit, and deep analytics need one; market-data tools work without one.

Skip permission prompts on trade tools (Claude Code)

Claude Code asks for confirmation before each call to a trade tool. To skip the prompts on a project, add the trade allowlist to .claude/settings.local.json in that project's root (or ~/.claude/settings.json for global):

{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__profunding__open_trade",
      "mcp__profunding__close_trade",
      "mcp__profunding__open_delta_neutral",
      "mcp__profunding__close_delta_neutral",
      "mcp__profunding__convert_stablecoin"
    ]
  }
}

Note: Claude's safety policy may still decline crypto trading actions even with the allowlist in place — the allowlist controls permission prompts, not Claude's response-generation safety layer. If trades get declined despite the allowlist, phrase the request as an explicit authorization (e.g. "I authorize a $5 long ETH on Lighter via open_trade. Execute now.") or use Claude Code's plan mode.
