How to Use the dYdX (Decentralized Perpetual Exchange API) MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: Can LlamaIndex execute trades on the dYdX (Decentralized Perpetual Exchange API)?

Yes, the agent can call v4createorder to place market or limit orders. The tool execution output is then indexed, allowing the agent to verify the trade status instantly.

Q: How does LlamaIndex prevent hallucinations when reading dYdX (Decentralized Perpetual Exchange API) data?

By forcing the agent to call v4listpositions and indexing the raw response, the agent's answers are strictly bound to actual on-chain data. This prevents the LLM from inventing open positions.

Q: Can I index historical trade data for trend analysis?

You can query v4gettrades to pull recent public trade executions and store them in a vector index. This lets your agent run similarity searches on historical volume spikes.

Index live dYdX orderbooks and perpetual market data into LlamaIndex vector stores for context-rich trading decisions.

Index live dYdX v4 orderbooks in LlamaIndex

The `v4_get_orderbook` tool fetches the current L2 market depth for any dYdX v4 perpetual asset via our MCP Server. LlamaIndex indexes this data so your agent can query current liquidity levels semantically. This eliminates hallucinations when your agent discusses market depth. The agent reads the actual index instead of guessing, ensuring your trading decisions rely on hard numbers.

Track your dYdX portfolio history

The `v4_get_account` tool pulls current balances, positions, and equity directly into your index. Your LlamaIndex agent can run semantic searches over your historical trade performance. Combining this with `v4_list_fills` gives your agent a complete ledger of execution history. You can ask your agent to analyze your past slippage without manual spreadsheet exports.

Build a market intelligence MCP Server index

The `v4_list_markets` tool exposes all active perpetual trading pairs on the dYdX v4 protocol. Your agent indexes this directory to quickly map asset names to their correct API identifiers. When you ask about market trends, the agent uses `v4_get_stats` to update its local knowledge base. This keeps your RAG pipeline grounded in live protocol metrics.

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
llama-index-tools-mcp package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install llama-index-tools-mcp llama-index-llms-openai. The MCP tools package provides BasicMCPClient and McpToolSpec.
2

Connect with BasicMCPClient
Point BasicMCPClient to your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. Supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports.
3

Convert to LlamaIndex tools
Call mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async() to convert all dYdX (Decentralized Perpetual Exchange API) MCP tools into native FunctionTool objects that any LlamaIndex agent can use.
4

Run with any LLM
Create a FunctionAgent with the tools and your preferred LLM. Swap OpenAI for Anthropic, Gemini, or any LlamaIndex-supported provider.

agent.py

from llama_index.tools.mcp import BasicMCPClient, McpToolSpec
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# Connect to the MCP
mcp_client = BasicMCPClient(
    "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
mcp_tool_spec = McpToolSpec(client=mcp_client)

# Convert MCP tools to LlamaIndex tools
tools = await mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async()

# Create and run the agent
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
    system_prompt="You have access to dYdX (Decentralized Perpetual Exchange API) tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent dYdX (Decentralized Perpetual Exchange API) data")
