CCXT MCP Server Integration Architecture
The CCXT MCP Server connects language models to cryptocurrency exchanges through the Model Context Protocol. It serves as a bridge that allows LLMs to access real-time market data and execute trading operations across multiple exchanges through a unified API.
The architecture includes:
- LLM clients (Claude and other MCP-compatible models) that send requests
- The Model Context Protocol (MCP) that standardizes communication
- The CCXT MCP Server that processes requests and manages exchange interactions
- The CCXT Library that provides unified access to exchange APIs
- Connections to multiple cryptocurrency exchanges
CCXT MCP Server Code Architecture
The server is organized into three main modules for better maintainability and extensibility:
- **Exchange**: Manages exchange instances, credentials, and symbol validation
- **Utils**: Provides caching, rate limiting, and logging functionality
- **Tools**: Implements MCP tools and resources for exchange interaction
