Headless trading with Claude Code

Plug this MCP Server into your CI/CD pipeline to automate your trading desk. Use `spot_add_order` and `futures_send_order` inside your shell scripts to execute trades based on real-time triggers. It removes the need for a GUI, letting you manage your crypto assets from a terminal window. It's built for SREs and devs who want code-driven control.

Claude Code tracks market data

Pipe market data directly into your log files or monitoring tools. Use `spot_get_ticker` or `spot_get_ohlc` to dump price data into your local analysis scripts. It's the fastest way to get raw exchange data into your terminal flow. No browser, no fluff, just the numbers you need to make decisions.

Automated ledger sync in Claude Code

Keep your local records in sync with your exchange balance. Claude Code uses `spot_get_ledgers` and `spot_get_trade_volume` to pull precise data into your audit reports. If you need to kill all orders during a system crash, `spot_cancel_all` or `spot_cancel_all_orders_after` ensures your exposure is capped instantly.
