Full facts
| Category | Broker APIs |
|---|---|
| Assets | crypto spot and derivatives on 100+ exchanges via the unified ccxt API, prediction markets (e.g. Polymarket) |
| Live vs paper | live and sandbox/testnet accounts (per exchange); out of the box only public market data; trading must be enabled per account in the config file, and `"trading": true` works only on sandbox/demo accounts (live needs `"trading": "live"`) |
| Order approval / safety | official local MCP server from the ccxt project (MIT), runs over stdio and keys never appear in tool parameters; capability tiers (market, read, trading, funds for withdrawals, raw write endpoints) are off until set in the config file, which no tool can edit; writes are previewed and confirmed by default on live accounts (confirm: always | live | never), checked against a per-order USD cap you set (maxOrderValue), optional daily cap and symbol allowlist, and logged to an append-only audit journal |
| Pricing / free tier | free, open source (MIT); exchange trading fees apply |
| Rate limits | set by each exchange (ccxt's built-in rate limiter) |
