What is the DefiLlama (DeFi Analytics) MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent to DefiLlama, the leading aggregator for decentralized finance data. This server allows you to query real-time and historical metrics across the entire DeFi ecosystem through natural conversation.
What you can do
- TVL Analytics — Track Total Value Locked (TVL) for specific protocols, individual chains, or the global DeFi market.
- Token Pricing — Retrieve current and historical prices, generate price charts, and calculate percentage changes for thousands of tokens.
- Yield & Pools — Monitor APY and TVL for liquidity pools to identify the best yield farming opportunities.
- Volume & Liquidity — Analyze DEX volumes, bridge activity, and stablecoin market caps across different ecosystems.
- Historical Deep-Dives — Access time-series data to understand market trends and protocol growth over time.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- (Optional) Enter your DefiLlama API Key if you have a pro account, or leave blank for public access

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns DefiLlama (DeFi Analytics) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from DefiLlama (DeFi Analytics) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 19 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How can I check the current TVL of a specific blockchain like Ethereum or Solana?
You can use the get_current_tvl_chain tool by providing the chain name. The agent will return the total value locked in USD for that specific network immediately.
Is it possible to see a price chart for a specific token?
Yes! Use the get_price_chart tool with the token's chain and address (e.g., ethereum:0x...). It will provide historical price data points that your agent can use to describe trends.
How do I find the highest yielding liquidity pools available?
The get_all_pools tool retrieves current APY and TVL data for all tracked pools. Your agent can then filter and sort these to find the best opportunities based on your criteria.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
