Spot and Derivatives Data in Claude Desktop

You don't need to juggle terminal windows to check crypto prices anymore. Your AI client pulls live tick-by-tick trades and order book snapshots straight from the exchange. Ask Claude for the absolute spread on a specific pair, and it runs `get_spot_bid_ask_spread` to give you exact numbers instantly. Options and futures traders get the same direct access. When you want to see implied volatility or the Greeks, Claude triggers `get_options_tickers`. You tell the agent what asset to look at, and it handles the API calls to return aggregated OHLCV data or live trade ticks.

Deep On-Chain Blockchain Metrics

Block-level analytics usually require massive database queries. This MCP Server lets you ask your agent for the current state of any supported chain. Running `get_blockchain_metrics_latest` returns transaction counts, block times, and gas usage without writing a single SQL statement. Historical data works exactly the same way. If you need to map out network congestion over the last month, Claude executes `get_blocks_metrics_historical`. The agent reads the raw metrics and formats them into a clean summary table right in your chat window.

DeFi Protocol and DEX Tracking

Tracking liquidity pools across multiple decentralized exchanges is tedious work. You can just ask Claude to fetch supported protocols using `get_defi_dex_information`. The agent maps out where the liquidity sits before you decide to trade. Lending markets are fully exposed too. Claude uses `get_defi_lending_assets_metrics_summary` to pull interest rates and borrow volumes from Aave, Compound, and MakerDAO. You get a clear picture of the DeFi lending space without opening ten different browser tabs.

Yes. The agent uses the `get_options_ohlcv` and `get_options_trades` tools to pull past market action. You just specify the timeframe and the asset you want to analyze.

You need a valid API key from Amberdata to authenticate the requests. The Vinkius MCP Server handles the connection, but the underlying data access depends on your account tier with the provider.

Tell Claude the address you want to look up. It will run `get_address_balances_latest` for native tokens and `get_address_token_balances_latest` for ERC-20 holdings.

The server only reads public blockchain data like ERC-20 token holdings and tick-by-tick trades. Vinkius runs this connection in an isolated V8 sandbox that destroys itself after the request finishes. Your private keys and local chat history never touch our infrastructure.
