Index live Kraken order books using LlamaIndex RAG

`get_order_book` pulls raw market depth data directly into your LlamaIndex ingestion pipeline. The framework indexes these bid and ask levels so your agent can query current liquidity states semantically.

Build searchable archives of historical candles

`get_ohlc` fetches candlestick data across multiple timeframes to build a localized knowledge base of market trends. When you ask your agent about price momentum, it queries these nodes to pull the exact historical values.

Track market execution history with vector storage

`get_trades` imports the latest 1000 transactions for any trading pair directly into your query engine. By combining this with `get_spread` over this MCP Server, your RAG application evaluates market friction using actual execution records.

Setup guide

Set up Kraken MCP in LlamaIndex

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 Kraken 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 Kraken tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Kraken data")

Common questions about Kraken MCP in LlamaIndex

Use the basic client to connect to the server, then wrap it with the tool spec. This exposes the exchange endpoints directly to your indexing agent.

Yes, you can run the trade history tool and pass the raw JSON outputs to your indexer. This MCP adapter turns live exchange data into queryable document nodes.

The agent uses the ticker tool to pull real-time prices before answering. By grounding the response in active API data, your system avoids relying on outdated training data.

Pass specific pair names to the asset pairs tool. This MCP filter limits the data payload, keeping your vector store clean and your token usage low.

No, this server only accesses public market data such as candlestick history, spreads, and tickers. Since the server never handles private API keys or transaction records, your vector database remains entirely clear of sensitive financial credentials.
