MCP server for Sharpe crypto derivatives and market data API
Project description
Sharpe MCP Server + CLI
Crypto derivatives and market data for AI agents and terminals. Built with FastMCP.
21 tools, 5 resources, 2 prompts for the MCP server. 18 commands for the CLI. Covers funding rates, futures, options, arbitrage, narratives, ecosystems, memecoins, news, and more across 20+ exchanges.
Quick Start
MCP Server (for AI agents)
No install needed. Use uvx to always run the latest version:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sharpe": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["sharpe-mcp"],
"env": {
"SHARPE_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Claude Desktop: Add the above to claude_desktop_config.json
Claude Code: claude mcp add sharpe -- uvx sharpe-mcp
Cursor: Add the above to .cursor/mcp.json
CLI (for terminals)
Run ephemerally with uvx or install persistently so the sharpe binary stays on your PATH.
# Run without installing (always latest)
uvx --from sharpe-mcp sharpe market
# Persistent install (pick one)
uv tool install sharpe-mcp # recommended
pipx install sharpe-mcp # alternative
pip install sharpe-mcp # inside a venv
sharpe market
The --from sharpe-mcp flag is needed only for uvx — the CLI entry point is sharpe but the package is named sharpe-mcp. Persistent installers put both sharpe and sharpe-mcp on your PATH directly.
Without an API key
Both the MCP server and CLI work without an API key by falling back to free public endpoints. No signup required. Add a key later for higher rate limits.
