Live Yield and Pool Analysis in Claude Desktop

The `get_all_pools` tool connects Claude Desktop to live APY and TVL metrics across thousands of liquidity pools. Your agent reads this data to find yield opportunities without making you open twenty tabs. You get raw, unfiltered numbers directly in your chat window. To spot trends, Claude Desktop runs `get_pool_historical_data` to chart yield performance over time. This lets you analyze whether a pool's yield is stable or dropping before you move any capital.

Multi-Chain TVL Tracking via MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes `get_all_chains_tvl` to pull the current total value locked across every major blockchain. Claude Desktop uses this tool to instantly compare market share changes between Layer 1s and Layer 2s. You see where the money is moving in real time. If you need historical context, your agent calls `get_historical_tvl_chain` to map out growth over the last year. It gives you the raw data to spot which ecosystems are gaining actual traction.

Token Pricing and Market Cap Audits

Your agent uses `get_current_prices` to fetch live token valuations directly within your workspace. When you ask Claude Desktop about a specific asset, it queries the contract address and returns the exact price. You don't have to leave your conversation to check external trackers. To evaluate token health, the server runs `get_stablecoin_market_cap_chain` and `get_percentage_change` to measure stability. You get a clear picture of liquidity depth and price action in seconds.
