Usage

Tools

The server provides the following MCP tool for querying funding rates:

• compare_funding_rates:
  • Description: Compares current funding rates for multiple symbols across specified exchanges, returning a pivoted Markdown table with a Divergence column showing the maximum funding rate difference for each symbol.
  • Parameters:
    • symbols (List[str]): List of trading pairs (e.g., ["BTC/USDT:USDT", "ETH/USDT:USDT"]). Required.
    • exchanges (List[str], optional): List of exchanges to compare (e.g., ["binance", "okx"]). Defaults to all supported exchanges (binance, okx, bybit, bitget, gate, coinex).
    • params (Dict, optional): Additional parameters for the API call. Defaults to {}.
  • Returns: A Markdown table with symbols as rows, exchanges as columns, funding rates as values (formatted as percentages), and a Divergence column.
  • Example: See the Examples section below.
