defillama-mcp

DefiLlama MCP

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.

What your agent can do

Ask things like:

• "Which chains have the most TVL right now?"
• "What's Aave's TVL and how did it move this week?"
• "Find the highest-APY stablecoin pools on Ethereum with at least $10M TVL."
• "Price of BTC and ETH?" (coingecko:bitcoin,coingecko:ethereum)
• "List the biggest stablecoins by circulating supply."

Tools

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

Install

No install needed. It runs straight from npm via npx.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "defillama": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "defillama-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "defillama": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "defillama-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart the client and the defillama tools appear.

Coin ids for prices

get_token_prices uses DefiLlama coin ids, comma-separated:

• By CoinGecko id: coingecko:bitcoin, coingecko:ethereum
• By contract: chain:0xcontract, e.g. ethereum:0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 (WETH)
