DefiLlama DeFi data: chain/protocol TVL, yields, stablecoins, token prices. No API key.
An MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent live DeFi data from DefiLlama — chain and protocol TVL, token prices, yield/farming pools, and stablecoin supply.
No API key. No signup. The public DefiLlama API is free.
Most "MCP for X" repos are half-finished and break on the second request. This one ships with tests and graceful error handling so an agent can actually rely on it.
Ask things like:
coingecko:bitcoin,coingecko:ethereum)| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_chains_tvl | TVL across all blockchains, ranked |
search_protocols | Search protocols by name / symbol / category, ranked by TVL |
get_protocol | TVL, 1d/7d change, chains, category for one protocol |
get_token_prices | Current USD price for one or more tokens (DefiLlama coin ids) |
get_yield_pools | Top yield pools by APY, filter by chain / project / min TVL |
get_stablecoins | Largest stablecoins by circulating supply + peg type |
No install needed. It runs straight from npm via npx.
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"defillama": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "defillama-mcp"]
}
}
}
Add to .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"defillama": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "defillama-mcp"]
}
}
}
Restart the client and the defillama tools appear.
get_token_prices uses DefiLlama coin ids, comma-separated:
coingecko:bitcoin, coingecko:ethereumchain:0xcontract, e.g. ethereum:0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 (WETH)npm install
npm run dev # run from TypeScript source over stdio
npm test # run the unit tests
npm run build # compile to dist/
