Tools & capabilities

CCXT tools 32

  • list_exchangesList every exchange this server supports (built from ccxt.exchanges at runtime), with name, websocket and prediction-market availability. Filter by a name query or by support for a unified method.
  • describe_exchangeOne exchange's supported unified methods, market types, timeframes, required credential fields, sandbox availability and documentation URLs. Per-method detail lives in describe_method.
  • describe_methodSearch unified method names by keyword, or get one method's signature and parameter documentation. With "exchange" it adds that exchange's own docs (including supported params.* keys and links to the exchange API reference), per-market-type feature support, and searches its implicit (exchange-specific) endpoints too. Full ccxt manual: https://docs.ccxt.com/
  • search_marketsSearch and filter the markets of one exchange (by text, base, quote, settle currency, market type), paginated. Use this to resolve unified symbols — there is deliberately no list-all-markets tool. On prediction exchanges use search_events instead.
  • get_tickers24h price tickers for one or more unified symbols on an exchange (outcome handles on prediction exchanges).
  • get_orderbookCurrent order book (bids and asks) for one unified symbol.
  • get_ohlcvHistorical OHLCV candlestick data for a symbol and timeframe. Rows are [timestampMs, open, high, low, close, volume]. Page back with "since"; "params.until" bounds the end.
  • get_tradesRecent public trades for one unified symbol.
  • search_eventsSearch events on a prediction-market exchange (polymarket, kalshi, limitless, myriad, hyperliquid with prediction=true). A scoping filter is required: query, tags, or params.eventId/params.slug. Returns events with their markets and outcome handles — outcome handles are what you pass as the symbol to get_tickers/get_orderbook/create_order on prediction exchanges.
  • call_read_methodEscape hatch covering every unified read method not served by a dedicated tool (fetchFundingRate, fetchLedger, fetchOpenInterest, fetchLiquidations, fetchEvent, fetchSettlements, …). Only fetch*/load* methods are accepted — writes are structurally rejected. Get the signature first with describe_method. Docs: https://docs.ccxt.com/
  • call_implicit_getCall an exchange-specific implicit REST endpoint over HTTP GET, for data the unified API does not cover. Pass the implicit method name in the "method" argument (e.g. "publicGetTickerPrice"); these are exchange-specific — find them with describe_method {"query": ..., "exchange": ...} (its results list the name to pass here). The response is the raw exchange payload. Consult the exchange API reference (describe_exchange .urls.doc) and the ccxt manual: https://docs.ccxt.com/
  • get_safety_statusWhat this server is currently allowed to do: configured accounts (names only — never credentials), enabled capability tiers, caps, sandbox/live environments, journal location, unresolved order intents, and any configuration problems.

  • get_setup_instructionsShow how to configure e-arveldaja API credentials when the server is running without connections.
  • get_server_statusReport the running e-arveldaja MCP server version, the active tool profile, and any active point-of-use release notices. Read-only; needs no credentials.
  • import_apikey_credentialsPreview and persist apikey*.txt credentials into local/global .env. Preview-first: the default call verifies and projects the target and returns a plan_handle; call again with execute=true and that handle to persist. overwrite=false appends different credentials as another connection.
  • list_stored_credentialsInspect credentials stored in local/global .env files.
  • remove_stored_credentialsPreview and remove one stored credential block from a local/global .env file. Preview-first: the default call projects the removal and returns a plan_handle; call again with execute=true and that handle to delete.
  • list_connectionsList configured e-arveldaja connections and the active index.
  • switch_connectionSwitch active e-arveldaja connection. Clears caches; interrupted in-flight tools are blocked from further API requests.
  • clear_cacheClear cached e-arveldaja API and reference data. Use after changing data directly in the e-arveldaja web UI, or before reports that must reflect the latest upstream state.
  • get_session_logRetrieve mutating-operation audit log Markdown for the current connection, another audit-log label, or connection:<raw name>.
  • list_audit_logsList available human-readable audit log files.
  • clear_session_logClear the audit log for the current connection. DESTRUCTIVE — cannot be undone.
  • list_clientsList clients. Paginated. Brief view by default; use view='full' or get_client for detail.
