Execute v4 Trades Instantly

The `v4_create_order` tool lets your AI client execute market or limit orders directly on the dYdX v4 chain. You don't need to open a separate web browser or terminal. Your client handles the raw transaction details, signs the payload, and sends it directly to the validator network. To keep tabs on your active trades, the client uses `v4_list_positions` and `v4_list_orders`. If the market moves against your strategy, invoke `v4_cancel_order` instantly to cut your exposure.

Real-Time Market Analysis in Claude Desktop

The `v4_get_orderbook` tool pulls live L2 order depth directly into your Claude Desktop chat window. This gives your agent the exact order book state to calculate entry points without lagging web interfaces. It queries depth data, processes spreads, and lets you make fast trading decisions. Your agent combines this with historical context using `v4_get_candles` and `v4_get_stats` to map out 24-hour trends. You get raw, unfiltered market statistics directly in your workspace using this MCP Server.

Manage Multi-Version Accounts via MCP Server

The `v3_get_accounts` tool retrieves your legacy dYdX v3 account details while v4 tools manage your active Cosmos-based positions. This dual-protocol setup lets your AI client track balances across both exchange versions in a single session. You get a clear view of your collateral and historical trade logs. Your agent uses `v4_get_account` and `v4_list_fills` to reconcile your balances after executing trades. Reconciliation happens automatically, keeping your records accurate without manual spreadsheet exports.
