DefiLlama MCP Server

smithery badge

This package provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as a proxy to the public DefiLlama API. It allows AI assistants (like Cursor) to interact with the DefiLlama API through the defined OpenAPI specification.

Features

  • Dynamically generates MCP tools from the DefiLlama OpenAPI specification.
  • Uses the official DefiLlama API.
  • Translates MCP callTool requests into HTTP requests to the DefiLlama API.
  • Handles responses and errors from the API.

Installation & Usage

Using npx (Recommended for Clients like Cursor)

Once published to npm, you can configure clients like Cursor to automatically download and run the server using npx. Add an entry to your client's MCP configuration (e.g., mcp.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "defillama": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@nic0xflamel/defillama-mcp-server" ] } } }

Replace "defillama" with your desired server name key.

Using Smithery (for Claude Desktop)

To install automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @nic0xflamel/defillama-mcp-server --client claude
