Perplexity

Pipe Bybit tickers into terminal workflows

`get_tickers` outputs live crypto prices directly to your command line. Claude Code formats this raw JSON payload into clean, pipe-friendly text that you can instantly grep or redirect to local log files. Your terminal agent runs these queries headlessly. You can chain the output to other CLI tools to trigger local system alerts when prices cross specific boundaries.

Automate market data collection via this MCP Server

`get_recent_trades` fetches the last 1000 executed transactions for any symbol directly inside your terminal session. Claude Code processes this transaction stream, filtering for large block trades without opening a browser. This MCP Server enables automated cron scripts. Your terminal environment can query market activity every hour and append the results to a secure database.

Track derivatives funding rates from the CLI

`get_funding_history` extracts historical funding rates for perpetual contracts directly to your standard output. Claude Code identifies periods of extreme market imbalance by analyzing the direction of these payments. The terminal interface displays the raw percentages instantly. You get the exact data needed to calculate carrying costs for hedge positions without leaving your SSH session.
