MCP Paradex Server

You can run an MCP server that bridges AI assistants with Paradex to access market data, accounts, vaults, orders, and positions. This enables automated trading workflows, monitoring, and control from your agent while keeping Paradex as the data and action layer.

How to use

Connect your MCP client to the Paradex MCP server using the provided stdio command configuration. Once connected, you can query market data, retrieve vault and account information, place and manage orders, and monitor current positions and balances. Use the available resources to fetch system state, market summaries, order books, historical data, and your trading activity. You can also inspect vault configurations and deposits/withdrawals to maintain full visibility into your Paradex trading setup.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Python 3.10 or newer installed on your system.

Install the MCP Paradex server package from PyPI.

pip install mcp-paradex

Run the MCP Paradex server locally using the standard runtime command.

uv run mcp-paradex

Alternative: install via uvx and start the server using the MCP package name.

uvx mcp-paradex

If you prefer a development setup, you can clone the repository, install dependencies, and run locally.

git clone https://github.com/sv/mcp-paradex-py.git
cd mcp-paradex-py

uv sync --dev --all-extras

uv run mcp-paradex

Configuration and usage notes

Security and credentials are required to access Paradex accounts and vaults. Set your environment variables to provide the environment (testnet or mainnet) and your Paradex private key.

Additional configuration and environment

Environment variables you need to set for authentication and environment selection include PARADEX_ENVIRONMENT and PARADEX_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY. You can store these in a .env file and load them before starting the server.

Configuration examples and client setup

For Claude Desktop, configure the MCP server to start via uvx with the specified environment and private key in your client settings.

Troubleshooting and notes

If you encounter connection or authentication issues, verify that PARADEX_ENVIRONMENT is set to testnet or mainnet and that PARADEX_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY is valid for your Paradex account.
