About MCP Server for DefiLlama
MCP Server for DefiLlama gives Claude access to DeFi data from the DefiLlama API. It exposes queries for protocols, chains, token prices and stablecoins.
Key features
- 01List tracked protocols
- 02Retrieve protocol TVL
- 03Retrieve chain TVL
- 04Query current and historical token prices
- 05List stablecoins and retrieve their data
Use cases
- 01Review a protocol’s TVL
- 02Check TVL for a chain
- 03Look up token prices over time
- 04Inspect stablecoin data
MCP support
Exposes DefiLlama API data to MCP clients through tools for protocol, chain, token and stablecoin queries.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEMCP Server for DefiLlama
This repository contains a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Claude with access to DeFi data via the DefiLlama API. The server enables Claude to perform operations like retrieving protocol TVL data, chain TVL data, token prices, and stablecoin information.
Overview
The MCP server exposes the following tools to Claude:
Protocol Data
defillama_get_protocols: List all protocols tracked by DefiLlamadefillama_get_protocol_tvl: Get TVL data for a specific protocol
Chain Data
defillama_get_chain_tvl: Get TVL data for a specific chain
Token Data
defillama_get_token_prices: Get current prices of tokensdefillama_get_historical_prices: Get historical prices of tokens
Stablecoin Data
defillama_get_stablecoins: List all stablecoins tracked by DefiLlamadefillama_get_stablecoin_data: Get data for a specific stablecoin
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v16 or higher)
Running the server
Option 1: Using npx (Recommended)
npx @mcp-dockmaster/mcp-server-defillama
You can run the MCP server directly without installation using npx:
This will download and execute the server directly from npm.
Option 2: Manual Installation
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/mcp-dockmaster/mcp-server-defillama.git
Install dependencies:
npm install
Build the project:
npm run build
Claude Usage
To configure Claude Desktop to use this MCP server:

Add the MCP server configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-defillama": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@mcp-dockmaster/mcp-server-defillama"
]
}
}
}
Alternatively, if you installed the package locally:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-defillama": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/your/mcp-server-defillama/build/index.js"
]
}
}
}

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
