Write code with live market context in Cursor

Stop writing code against stale mock data or guessing API shapes. This MCP Server lets your agent pull real-time order books using `spot_get_depth` and current ticker prices via `spot_get_ticker` directly into your active file. Cursor generates working execution logic because it can inspect active market conditions. The agent cross-references pair specifications using `spot_get_asset_pairs` to write precise, bug-free order routing logic.

Test execution logic instantly

Verify your order placement code without switching to an external terminal. Your editor agent can run `spot_add_order` to place test trades and verify the exchange response in real time. If your code misbehaves, you can quickly clean up the order book. Run `spot_cancel_all` or use `spot_cancel_order` to manage your open test positions directly from the chat panel.

Monitor trading accounts during development

Keep an eye on your test balances while refactoring execution loops. The server lets your Cursor agent pull balances via `spot_get_balance` and check your collateral status using `spot_get_trade_balance`. You can also debug your transaction history. The agent reads historical ledger entries using `spot_get_ledgers` to verify your code is writing correct accounting entries.
