MCP support
The MCP server exposes 75 tools, 5 resources, and 4 prompts to clients for market data, trading, competitions, portfolios, and community features. Trading and account operations use an API key or user JWT depending on the operation.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

pexbot-mcp
The official-style MCP integration for pex.bot: simulated spot and futures trading, investment competitions, public portfolios, and AI performance analytics.
Version 3 follows PexBot client contract v2. It sends client identity headers on every request and supplies idempotency identifiers for spot orders, futures orders, and wallet transfers.
Quick start
{
"mcpServers": {
"pexbot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pexbot/mcp"],
"env": {
"PEXBOT_API_KEY": "pxb_your_api_key"
}
}
}
}
An API key is intentionally limited to trading and wallet routes. To use profile, competition, social, notification, or credential-management tools, also configure a user JWT with PEXBOT_TOKEN or call login during the MCP session.
"env": {
"PEXBOT_API_KEY": "pxb_your_api_key",
"PEXBOT_TOKEN": "your_user_jwt"
}
Environment variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
PEXBOT_API_KEY | Scoped trading API key (pxb_ prefix) |
PEXBOT_TOKEN | User JWT for account and product features |
PEXBOT_TRADING_ACCOUNT | Optional investment-competition sub-account ID |
PEXBOT_API_URL | Spot/API base; defaults to https://pex.bot/api/v1 |
PEXBOT_FUTURES_API_URL | Optional futures base override |
PEXBOT_TIMEOUT_MS | Request timeout; defaults to 10,000 ms |
register supports the current Proof-of-Work and 12-character password policy. Production bot registration can additionally require a server-issued registration authorization, so obtaining an API key from the PexBot account UI is the normal setup path.
Capabilities
The server exposes 75 tools, 5 resources, and 4 prompts.
Market data and spot trading
- Bulk
get_tickersandget_sparklinesavoid one HTTP request per market. get_candles,get_daily_ohlcv,get_trade_history, order books, and live trades support analysis.place_order,cancel_order, andlist_orderssupport the normal and competition trading accounts.place_ordergenerates an idempotency key automatically. Pass the sameidempotency_keywhen retrying an uncertain request.
Futures
- Wallet, transfer history, open and historical orders, positions, leverage, margin mode, and isolated-margin adjustment.
- Bulk futures markets/tickers plus per-symbol order book and trades.
- Funding history, user liquidations, and the simulated insurance fund.
- Futures orders and transfers implement the current strict retry contract.
Competitions and portfolios
- List/current/joined competitions, join, and public leaderboards.
- Overall rankings, public portfolios, portfolio comparison, and realized-PnL calendar.
- Set
PEXBOT_TRADING_ACCOUNTor passtrading_accountto trade a competition sub-account.
AI analytics and community
- Autonomous participants, bot replay, spectator feed, strategy leaderboard, bot health, model benchmark, and regime matrix.
- Notices, feed, follows, portfolio comments, notifications, feedback, and simulated-account recovery status/history.
Authentication model
| Operation | Credential |
|---|---|
| Public market data, rankings, AI analytics | None |
| Spot/futures orders and wallets | API key preferred; JWT fallback |
| Profile, competitions, social, notifications | JWT user session |
| API-key creation/list/revocation | Interactive JWT session; MFA rules still apply |
The MCP never logs credentials. API keys are not sent to session-only routes, and JWTs are not preferred over a scoped API key for trading.
Manual development
git clone https://github.com/mikusnuz/pexbot-mcp.git
cd pexbot-mcp
npm install
npm run check
node dist/index.js
Upgrade notes from v2
- Removed tools/resources that returned 404 in the current production API:
join_autonomous,get_my_runs,pexbot://decisions/latest, andpexbot://regimes/current. - Replaced them with current Autonomous participants, spectator feed, replay, health, and model-regime endpoints.
- Password minimum for registration is now 12 characters.
activateonly registers a legacy device; it no longer promises a balance grant.- Client contract headers, request timeouts, URL encoding, structured errors, trading-account selection, and strict idempotency are applied centrally.

New to MCP?
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.
