MCP Paradex Server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for the Paradex trading platform.

Overview

This project provides a bridge between AI assistants (like Claude) and the Paradex perpetual futures trading platform. Using the MCP standard, AI assistants can:

• Retrieve market data from Paradex
• Manage trading accounts and vaults
• Place and manage orders
• Monitor positions and balance

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+

Using uv (faster alternative)

1. Clone this repository:
   git clone https://github.com/sv/mcp-paradex-py.git
   cd mcp-paradex-py
2. Create a virtual environment:
   uv venv
   source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
3. Install dependencies:

Configuration

Set up your configuration:

Then edit the .env file with your Paradex credentials.

Running the Server

Docker (recommended)

docker build . -t sv/mcp-paradex-py

In Cursor add MCP as command

Public only

docker run --rm -i sv/mcp-paradex-py

Allow trading

docker run --rm -e PARADEX_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY=0xprivatekey -i sv/mcp-paradex-py

Smithery.ai Integration

This MCP server is compatible with Smithery.ai, a platform for discovering and deploying MCP servers.

Claude Desktop Configuration

To use this server with Claude Desktop via Smithery.ai:

1. Open Claude Desktop and enable Developer Mode from the menu
2. Go to Settings > Developer and click "Edit Config"
3. Add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "paradex": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["--with-editable", ".", "mcp-paradex"], "env": { "PARADEX_ENVIRONMENT": "testnet", "PARADEX_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key" } } } }

1. Replace your_ethereum_private_key with your actual Paradex private key
2. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop

Smithery.ai Registry

The server includes a smithery.yaml file with metadata for the Smithery.ai registry. If you want to publish this server to Smithery.ai, you can use the Smithery CLI:

Install Smithery CLI

npm install -g @smithery/cli

Login to Smithery

smithery login

Publish the server
