Perplexity

Spot market opportunities directly inside Claude Desktop

Stop copying pricing data from tabs. This MCP Server pulls the latest spreads directly into your chat using `get_ticker` and `get_order_book`. You get the actual numbers instantly. The model processes the raw order book data so you can spot pricing discrepancies or check liquidity before you make a move.

Cancel and track active Bitstamp orders using this MCP Server

When the market moves fast, opening a browser to kill an order takes too long. Tell Claude Desktop to cancel a trade, and it invokes `cancel_order` to pull it off the book. You can also ask the model to list what's currently active. It runs `get_open_orders` to show you exactly where your money is tied up without leaving your workspace.

Run instant balance audits in your chat window

Keep tabs on your crypto holdings without digging through account settings. This MCP integration lets Claude Desktop call `get_balance` to show your exact balances across every currency on your Bitstamp account. If you need to verify past trades, the model pulls your ledger using `get_user_transactions` and `list_trading_pairs`. It lets you map your historical performance directly against current market pairs.
